Scientific process

It's cold outside and the roads are bad what are you going to do?
Ask a few questions:
Where am I going?
When do I need to be there?
Do I have to be there?

After answering those questions you need to decide how you are going to get there. If you are going by car, what kind of car does it have hi/lo-gears to get you through deep snow? Is it front/rear or possible four wheel drive?

What if your car does not start? Does it have gas? Is the battery dead because you left the lights on all night? Did someone steal your engine? Or is it just because you have less than half a tank of gas and its -30F and you have not had your car winterized yet?
    After answering these questions we can try to answer and fix those that could be the possible problems. If you do not have gas do you have a way of getting some to put in your car? If the battery is dead is there some that could give you a jump? If you have neglected to winterize your vehicle you may want to try to put some anti-freeze in. If none of these help get your car started you may just want to call a cab or possibly go back to bed.
                                      What is the scientific method? (processes and steps)
    -Ask a question
    -Do some research
    -Form a hypothesis
    -Test your hypothesis with an experiment
    -Analyze your data
    -*Repeat if results did not help prove/disprove your hypothesis
    -Communicate your data
