Best Answer

Scientific method uses rules, but is more than just a set of rules. The word Science comes from the Latin and means to know.

It is the careful study of a subject, and the formulation of an hypothesis to explain the observations. The explanation should be open to criticism, and the results of any experiment should be repeatable by others. It should be open to an extrapolation of the results, and thus have some predictive value.
