Just a note to say that resolution (or precision as it is often known) vs accuracy is discussed in chapter 4, pages 112-113. It was originally slated to be in chapter 2, but would have been "just in case" at that point - not related to the scenario and tacked on, so not particularly memorable. In chapter 4 the topic is introduced "just in time" - it's something that's crucial at that point because you've just done an experiment and "keep on getting a different answer".
And as you say, elsewhere in chapter 4 (and in several other chapters) the scientific method of "hypothesis, experiment, analysis, conclusion" is put into practise without these commonly-used headings being stated for the stages.
With hindsight, a brief summary of these headings would be useful, as you say. Though I'd hope that by the time the learner has reached the end of the book they'll have absorbed the process through doing it a few times, and would be able to say "guess, experiment, graph, equation" instead, which is roughly equivalent.
