What scientist do that is the basis for the investigation?

scientists run experiments. That is the basis of all a scientist does.


To show that the results of the experiments are actually due to the conditions being tested what do scientists use?

control


How do scientists learn about things using hypothesis?

The Hypothesis is a Question of " What If?". Experiments are performed to show what actually happens.


What is meant by the statement physics is an experimental science?

An experimental physicist also has hypotheses and theories, but they devise actual experiments to show these hypotheses are true (or not).General Relativity is one example where it is shown true by both mathematics and by experiments. The latest experiment to show General Relativity is true is the satellite "Gravity Probe B", which orbited the earth (still is) for a couple of years gathering data on what's called "frame dragging" -- which is a prediction from General Relativity math that had not been shown by experiment (until now).


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 scientists work together and evaluate each other?

so they can get the most accurate results possible and to show their understanding of the scientific topic they are discussing.It is the same with experiments.

When was The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show created?

The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show was created in 2010.


why might scientists conduct an experiment in a lab, and then repeat the experiment in the field?

To verify whether or not laboratory conditions are necessary to recreate the results. If the same experiment produces the same results in different environments, then the scientist knows that the results are sound. However, if the results are different in different places, then it may be an environmental factor of the laboratory that is affecting the outcome. Repeating the experiment in different environments allows scientists to either confirm or rule out this possibility.


Who do scientists show their work to?

Other scientists


Do experiments show cause-and-effect relationship?
