## Scientific Method

In order to uncover these \'laws of nature\', physics (like all science)
relies on a *deliberately-structured process* of

-   observe a natural phenomenon, (for example thanks to an
    experimentation)
-   creating a theory or model,
-   testing the theory or model,
-   adjusting the theory or model based on the results of the test,
-   and repeating the above process with the adjusted theory or model.

This process is known as the \'scientific method\'. Most curriculums
thus incorporate elements of both theory (principally, what laws others
have found in the past) and practical (how to undertake experiments and
observations).
