What are the three key attitudes of scientific inquiry?

Answer 1

The 5 skills are:

Observing

Classifying

Predicting

Inferring

Making model

Answer 2

The five parts of scientific method (thinking) are:

1. Make an observation
2. Ask a question
3. Form a hypothesis
4. Conduct an experiment
5. Accept or reject the hypothesis

Answer 3

Here are four aspects of scientific thought:

1. Because science is based on observation, science does not try to make any observation fit a given theory; it is the theories which have to fit the observations. Science is not biased, it merely wishes to observe reality, whatever reality may turn out to be.

2. Scientists need to learn what other scientists have discovered, before trying to build on those earlier discoveries. Science is a collaborative effort. If you do not learn from your fellow scientists (of this or earlier generations) you will get nowhere (or in other words, you will wind up reinventing the wheel).

3. The most useful and accurate way to describe the universe in which we live is by means of mathematics. Whenever possible, scientific ideas are expressed mathematically.

4. There are no final answers in science, because there can always be new observations, or even new analyses of old observations, which lead to new and better explanations of some phenomenon, or of how the universe works. Newton's theory of gravity was a tremendous advance, but Einstein came up with an even better theory of gravity, and scientists today are still trying to improve upon Einstein. Science does not end.
