The Scientific Method is a systematic procedure for solving problems and exploring natural phenomena:
1.Observations (data)
are the foundation of the scientific method
data can be qualitative or quantitative.
data is most useful when collected under controlled conditions (experiments)
experiments must be repeatable and reproducible.
2. Natural laws
compactly summarize patterns in a large amount of data
often apply only under special conditions
are descriptions of nature, not facts or explanations.
3. Hypotheses
tentative explanations designed to guide experimentation
a useful hypothesis must be testable
must be rejected or corrected when they conflict with experiment.
4.Theories
a well-tested explanation for experimental data based on a set of hypotheses.must be discarded or refined when they can't explain new experimental results
scientific theories have three aspects: philosophical, mathematical, and empirical.
Understand all three, or risk misusing the theory!
a good theory...
explains currently available data
is as simple as possible (but no simpler!)
accurately predicts results of future experiments
suggests new lines of work and new ways to think
clearly shows underlying connections.

How do scientists analyze DNA?
Scientists analyze DNA by first isolating it from a sample, then using techniques like PCR to amplify specific regions of interest. They can then sequence the DNA to determine the order of nucleotides, which can provide information on genetic variations and mutations. This information is used to study genetic relationships, identify genetic markers, and understand the underlying causes of diseases.
Which scientist developed the idea that microorganisms can cause diseases A.Paul Ehrlich B.Anton van Leeuwenhoek C.Louis Pasteur D.Alexander Fleming?
There were many people who first thought about of the Germ Theory of Disease. Louis Pasteur was the first to officially publish work showing that microbes cause disease not "bad air" which many felt was the cause.
What do Alexander Fleming and Jonas Salk have in common?
Both Alexander Fleming and Jonas Salk were renowned scientists who made significant contributions to the field of medicine. Fleming discovered penicillin, the first antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine, preventing the disease that had caused widespread paralysis and death.
What is the second leading cause of death for teenagers?
Homicide, far behind the leading cause of teen death, accidents.
What was the name of the lady Alois Alzheimer first diagnosed with the disease?
The lady's name was Auguste Deter. She was Alois Alzheimer's patient at the Frankfurt Asylum, and her case study became the first published account of what later came to be known as Alzheimer's disease.
After an experiment what do the scientists do with the data?
After the experiment, scientists organize and analyze the data. Which therefore means that the scientists will create something to tell what is going on with there experiment and how long it goes for and if anything improved or something changed.
What are immediate causes of a disease?
Immediate cause is the first cause identified when a person is suffering from a disease. For example, if a baby is suffering from loose motions,we can say that the cause of the loose motions is an infection with a virus. So, the immediate cause of the disease is virus.
What was The first disease proven to be bacterial in origin?
B. anthracis was the first bacterium conclusively demonstrated to cause disease, by Robert Koch in 1876
What are the two general ways that bacteria causes disease?
The two general ways that bacteria cause disease ...... First is the body immunity as it decrease the bacteria easily cause disease. Second is the favorable environment for the bacterial growth.
How do scientists analyze DNA?

They can then sequence the DNA to determine the order of nucleotides, which can provide information on genetic variations and mutations. This information is used to study genetic relationships, identify genetic markers, and understand the underlying causes of diseases.
When the patient is being treated for a condition that has an underlying cause?
code first the underlying disease
What do scientists do to test a hypothesis?
This is called scientific method. First; you start off with a question, and then you try to guess an answer to your question with a hypothesis, then you run an experiment and analyze the results and come to a conclusion.
Most virus have been named for the disease they cause or?
Or the scientist who discovered it, or the first patient to come down with it.
Why do scientists analyze the difference between the arrival times of P and S waves?
Scientists analyze the difference between the arrival times of P (primary) and S (secondary) waves to determine the distance to an earthquake's epicenter. P waves, which are faster, arrive first, followed by the slower S waves. By measuring the time difference between their arrivals at seismic stations, scientists can calculate how far the waves traveled, helping to pinpoint the earthquake's location. This information is crucial for understanding seismic events and assessing potential impacts.
Who first to show micro organisms and not poisonous gases or bad air are the real cause infectious disease?
Louis Pasteur
Who first reported Parkinson's disease?
Researchers don't know exactly when Parkinson's disease was first "discovered," but there is evidence that medical scientists have been treating Parkinson's for thousands of years.We know a lot more about Parkinson's disease now than when it was first described in medical literature in 1817 by James Parkinson
How do you analyze black stuff in ocean on My Sims Agents?
You have to talk to Justice first, then you can analyze the goo in the ocean.
