Abstract
Knowing how to apply the scientific method is important when tackling environmental projects, but the scientific method is not a “one size fits all” approach. Whether you are designing a series of laboratory experiments, monitoring conditions in the field, or developing landscape models, understanding how to do science is critical. Often this is a dynamic process building on constant interplay between inductive and deductive approaches. Knowing how to form a hypothesis, design a study, use the correct statistical approach, and make appropriate inference are important skills for environmental professionals.
