Why is the scientific method not a strictly linear prodedure?

The scientific method not a strictly linear procedure because it is iterative.

After you have analyzed your results, you may have to revise your hypothesis and go back and do more experiments.

The new results may require more changes to your hypothesis that will need  more experiments to test, and so on.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
