mixing cocoa powder with milk into a paste like consistency results in a liquid with viscous properties that are non linear to stress-strain forces. i.e the faster you whisk the thicker and glupier it gets! this technique also yields a wonderfully frothy Hot Chocolate. practice and enjoy :)
cocoa is sweet and taste good while unsweetened cocoa is bitter and is used a lot in baking.
Calcium is an element while cocoa is not.
To take observations (for example, while doing a lab report) means to write down details about what is occurring throughout the process of the experiment.
quantitative observations can be expressed in numerical terms while quantitative observations are based on your senses - what you can see, hear, smell, etc.
Cacao is the scientific name for the cocoa bean, and the drink and other derivatives like cocoa butter are pronounced 'koko' in most parts of the English-speaking world, including Britain. Using the IPA, it would something like: ['koʊ.koʊ] But it really depends on where you live in Britain; southerners would probably pronounce as described above while northerners might pronounce it more like: ['ko.ko]
Observation involves gathering information through direct senses or instruments, while pseudoscience refers to beliefs or practices that claim to be based on scientific methods but lack empirical evidence, credibility, or scientific validation. Observations are objective, verifiable, and essential for scientific inquiry, while pseudoscience relies on biased or unfounded claims that cannot be tested or replicated.
Formal observations are planned, structured, and systematic observations that follow a specific protocol or method, such as a checklist or rubric. Informal observations are more relaxed, spontaneous, and subjective observations that may not follow a specific structure or method. Formal observations are often used in research or evaluations, while informal observations are more commonly used in everyday situations or interactions.
Quantitative observations refer to empirical and/or calculated data, while the latter refer to things such as colour and smell.
Controlled observations involve manipulating variables and controlling conditions to observe specific effects, while uncontrolled observations involve observing natural events as they occur without intervention. Controlled observations are often used in experiments to test hypotheses, while uncontrolled observations are more common in naturalistic studies where researchers aim to understand behaviors in their natural context.
The two types of observations are qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observations are descriptive and based on qualities, while quantitative observations involve measurements and numerical data.
Recording observations is important because it provides a permanent record of your findings, allowing for accurate data collection, analysis, and interpretation. It also helps to track changes over time and enables others to replicate the study or further investigate the specimen based on your observations.
Scientific Laws are descriptions of certain phenomenon or class of phenomena of nature which are believed to be universal and invariant in time. And theories are collections of organized ideas, models which attempt to explain observations and relate them to other observations. Simply put, while a law states that something happens, a theory explains why and how something happens. Hope, this was somewhat helpful! Clear Skies! Edit: In addition, in science a Hypothesis becomes a theory when data from experiments supports the hypothesis. A theory becomes law after many repeated experiments fail to disprove the theory, and back up the initial findings.
