The first step in the scientific method is:
  1. Develop a hypothesis.
  2. Question and observe.
  3. Scan existing secondary research.
  4. Conduct a needs analysis.
Explanation
Answer - B - “Question and observe” is, in fact, the first step in the scientific method.

Key Takeaway: Developing a hypothesis is the second step in the scientific method. The scientific method is a form of primary research and is therefore separate and distinct from secondary research. “Conducting a needs analysis and assessment” is the first step in the ADDIE process, not the scientific method.
