3-Baconian Method (inductive)
 Is investigative scientific inductive method by Sir Franics Bacon; based upon collection of facts, observation, ordering to categorize & analyses.
 His method was put forward in his Book “Organum 1620” was supposed to replace organon method of Aristotle.

Example: His method suggested that a scientist start with specific information about what they wished to study and use experiments to find more general theories and data.

Criticism
 His method was rejected hypothesis & lacked explanatory power as compare to the deductive scientific method in current world. Even Aristotle’s power of observations were flawed.
