What evidence do you have to show that your hypothesis was correct or incorrect?
You have to present the facts backing it up. Any experiments or statistics have to be able to be replicated by someone else in the same conditions for it to be true.
Why do you now know that inheritance of acquired characteristics is not valid?
Experiments have been done to verify inheritance of acquired characteristics, and results unanimously show that it is false.
What do scientist do when experiments show their hypothesis is incorrect?
If an experiment does not confirm his hypothesis, the scientist should report this honestly. Even if the results confirmed the hypothesis, further testing should be done by him or others to gather more data.
What is 2 types of hypothesis?
A hypothesis can be framed in either a positive or negative manner. The results will show that this WILL occur. The results will show that this WILL NOT occur.
Experiments can be used to show what?
Causation
How do scientists learn about things using hypothesis?
The Hypothesis is a Question of " What If?". Experiments are performed to show what actually happens.
Types of Hypothesis and definition?
In formal design and analysis of experiments there are but two types of hypotheses: null and alternative. And one might argue there really is only one because when the null is properly defined, the alternative is automatically properly defined. The null hypothesis is a testable statement of conjecture. The purpose of the null hypothesis is to set the measurable goal for the experiment that follows to show that the null is not false. If the results of the experiment do not show that then the alternative hypothesis is by definition not false. Simple Example: Null: It's raining outside. Alt: It's NOT raining outside. NOTE: The NOT reverses the logic of the null. The experiment...walk outside. The test...if I get wet, the Null is not false. If I don't get wet, the alternative is not false. NOTE: I must have an experiment to test the hypothesis. Without a test it's not a valid hypothesis.
True or false Did the ancient Greeks do a lot experiments to show the nature of matter?
True.

Can you show me a experiment?
What did Dalton's experiments show
What scientist do that is the basis for the investigation?
scientists run experiments. That is the basis of all a scientist does.
What are the 5 steps in designing an experiment?
In this order: -State the problem/ ask question -Form a hypothesis -Set up a controlled experiment -Record results - Analyze results -Draw a conclusion -Publish results
How does the theory of evolution by natural selection demonstrate the scientific process?
Observation of the process in nature. Google ring species. The erection of testable hypothesis. The experimental testing of these hypothesis. Google Lenski and the E. Coli experiment. Repeatability and analogous experiments. Google artificial selection. Falsifiability. A way to show the hypothesis can be rejected. Fossil bunnies in the pre-Cambrian.

Do experiments show cause-and-effect relationship?
no
