how does the scientific method apply to everyday life?
if you dont know what that is, it's The scientific method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate (that is, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world.

n your everyday life you act as a kind of scientist. You observe the world around you. You make predictions about how one event will affect another. You develop explanations for what happens around you. When something unexpected happens you try to figure out why.
For example, when you meet a new person you pay attention to the way he or she responds to what you say and do. Based on those observations you predict how he or she will respond to something you are about to say. If the response is what you expect your prediction is confirmed. If the response is not what you expect you think of an explanation. If you continue to interact with that person you continue to observe behaviors and reactions, compare them to past experiences, make more predictions, and develop a better understanding of how that individual will react to various actions.

It is quite useful when making important decisions because using the scientific method helps one to think more clearly and more logically instead of simply dealing with everyday life on an emotional basis.

it is because of the use of Scientific method that all things that we use in our day to day life worked. for example all technology. if people didn't believe in it, world would not be where it is today. think about the heath care system.... many of the medicines would not have been possible without scientific method.

It applies to every day life because it's part of the decision-making process.
