Sure.  I think it can help to think about the scientific method in three separate phases:

That seems to be pretty close to what I know. But shouldnt you first and foremost ask a question, before the observation?

Of course you should! I think the way that might come up in many scientific careers is that the hypothesis is usually more of an educated guess -- but that's something you can discover only if you ask a question!  For example, if you wanted to make better flashlights you'd need to ask: "What do we need a flash light for?"  If you were asking this question you would be the first step in the scientific method.

So first ask a question, then observe, than state your hypothesis but next should be testing the hypothesis, not predictions
