Problem: Can a black cat be found in a dark room?

Hypothesis: yes

Variable: flashlight

Control: no flashlight

Findings: "v" group found the cat; the "c" group didn't.

Theory: You can find a cat in a dark room using a flashlight.

Law: cats land feet first (indisputable)

Scientific literature doesn't always take on the observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion form so strictly. A lot of the time it's "This is the state of the field so far. Hey look what we found, that's interesting. Conclusion: somebody should look into this"
