Which steps are usually near the beginning of a scientific investigation?

Answer 1

Before you begin an experiment, you must collect data, predict, make sure you know what your about to start, make sure it's completely safe, use gloves, (if necessary) have the tools you need, know what you are using, and find a self space area where you think no one should or will disturb you.

Answer 2

Scientific method refers to techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methodologies of knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable in order to dependably predict any future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many hypotheses together in a coherent structure. This in turn may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context. Among other facets shared by the various fields of inquiry is the conviction that the process be objective to reduce a biased interpretation of the results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established

here are many ways of outlining the basic method shared by all fields of scientific inquiry. The following examples are typical classifications of the most important components of the method on which there is wide agreement in the scientific community and among philosophers of science. There are, however, disagreements about some aspects. The following set of methodological elements and organization of procedures tends to be more characteristic of natural sciences than Social Sciences. In the social sciences mathematical and statistical methods of verification and hypotheses testing may be less stringent. Nonetheless the cycle of hypothesis, verification and formulation of new hypotheses will resemble the cycle described below. Each element of a scientific method is subject to peer review for possible mistakes. These activities do not describe all that scientists do (see below) but apply mostly to experimental sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry). The elements above are often taught in the educational system. Scientific method is not a recipe: it requires intelligence, imagination, and creativity. It is also an ongoing cycle, constantly developing more useful, accurate and comprehensive models and methods. For example, when Einstein developed the Special and General Theories of Relativity, he did not in any way refute or discount Newton's Principia. On the contrary, if the astronomically large, the vanishingly small, and the extremely fast are reduced out from Einstein's theories - all phenomena that Newton could not have observed - Newton's equations remain. Einstein's theories are expansions and refinements of Newton's theories, and observations that increase our confidence in them also increase our confidence in Newton's approximations to them. A linearized, pragmatic scheme of the four points above is sometimes offered as a guideline for proceeding

Answer 3

Hypothesis is your tentative idea that explains series of observations. Forming a hypothesis is the first thing that is done in any experiment. Based on the data obtained and conclusion of your project review and check to see if it matches your hypothesis.

Answer 4

First of all you would want to know exactly why you were conducting the experiment; you need to decide upon a "theory", e.g why are bananas curved? Then you need to decide what you are going to do to find out; think about safety; think about the materials and equipment required; decide what data you wish to collect, how to collect it and how to record it; and what will convince you that you have found the answer.

The Answear Is You Shoud Follow Me @YoCrisYB haha!!

Answer 6

before conducting an experiment, a scientist needs to review results of other experiments related to the subjest.

Answer 7

ask your mom.

Answer 8

Observing and questioning
