What are the three factors needed for a question to be scientific?

1. Verification questions - These are basic data collecting questions. They are useful in building knowledge.Examples are: Is it cold today? Is the sun still out? Is a flame hottest when it is blue?2. Significant/Theory questions require an explanation and prior knowledge - Examples are: Why should you point a car's wheels toward the curb when parking on a hill? Do clouds have to be in the sky for it to rain? Why do you add acid to water instead of water to acid? These questions increase knowledge of the subject, but need prior knowledge to be asked3. Experimental questions require explanations, prior knowledge, and are testable - Example: If salt is added to water, would the solution still boil at the same temperature? or If Suntan lotion is put on ultraviolet detecting beads, will the beads still change color? Experimental questions require a more in depth answer that requires testing. Experimental questions are what researchers use.


How do you get compass headings from my house?

When reading a scale of water do you read of the tip of the water or the bottom curve?

In a graduated cylinder, the water or liquid will tend to pull its surface up the side just a bit. This curved shape is call the meniscus. You should read the level at the lowest point of the meniscus, in the center. Turn the cylinder so that the markings are toward you, so you can see the low point of the meniscus behind the markings to get your measurement. There are a few liquids which want to pull away from the edges, which will thus have an inverted meniscus. For these, you would read the high point.

Does it harm your car to park facing up hill?

No more than it would harm parking it facing downhill. Makes no difference really. Just make very certain that you do these things when parking:* always point the wheels away from the curb when facing uphill * always point the wheels toward the curb when facing downhill * always set the parking brake while your foot is on the brake and BEFORE putting into Park on automatic transmissions. Applying the parking brake should be done every time regardless of the terrain. If one gets into the habit of doing this all the time, then it will become automatic. The little pin in the transmission is all that is holding the car from rolling ... use the brake, too. It will help greatly when you are trying to get the transmission out of Park when on a hill if the parking brake has not been used.Manual transmission people always use the parking brake (handbrake) anyway, so it is something we do without thinking. A good habit for everyone.

If you are parked facing up a hill, you should turn your wheel away from the curb, so that the back of the tire is facing the curb. This way, if your car begins to roll down the hill, it will be forced to stop on the curb. Always apply your parking brake when parking on a hill.
