Who invented the description of the scientific method as "observation, hypothesis,experiment conclusion"?
I'm aware that there are criticisms of this description and alternate descriptions. My question only concerns who first described the scientific method word-for-word in those terms. Was it a scientist? A philosopher? An educator? Did the description originate in Europe? In the USA? In Boston MA ?
Since this description is widely taught as authoritative (at least when I was in school), we should know the identity of the authority.
