Scientific Method

The scientific method is the basis of scientific investigation. A scientist will pose a question and formulate a hypothesis as a potential explanation or answer to the question. The hypothesis will be tested through a series of experiments. The results of the experiments will either prove or disprove the hypothesis. This category should contain questions and answers regarding the scientific method.

What is the last step to conducting an experiment?

conducting means controlling so controlling the experiment is find the result of the data plan.

Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?

- The slope and length of the ramp.

- The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground.

- The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car).

- The direction and speed of the wind.

- The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).

What five skills do scientists use in scientific inquiry?

What is the factor in an experiment that you measure and that may change because of what you are testing

What does a slaughter house look like?

Well, slaughter houses depend on size and what they slaughter.

You can use the following link to see pictures of slaughter houses.

Anyways, slaughter houses again, depend on what they slaughter, where they are located, and how many customers they get.

I personally have been to a slaughter house where you bring in the animal, they slaughter it for you, and you get all the meat. There are other slaughter houses that catch there own animals and kill them for sale. If they kill sheep and goats it will look alot different than one that slaughters cows, chickens, horses, and pigs.

Also, slaughter houses could be small if they are in a small town. So basically slaughter houses depend on the answers above.^

But my personal experience with slaughter houses looked like this:

You walked into a large door and you were in the lobby area. They have meat on sale and people in aprons working the counter and walking in and out of revolving doors. When you entered the revolving doors, there was a LARGE room with all sorts of machinery used to cut the cooked meat. There were 4 other doors. One was all the bacon being cooked in strips in a large oven. The other was a LARGE door that, when opened, was a LARGE freezer with the skeletons/bones of all the animals. The other door was to go out to the back where all the animals were held until being slaughtered. The last door was where they killed and drained the blood of the slaughtered animals.

How can you find the perfect science fair project?

To find the perfect science fair project, you have to find what you are interested in. Then add your own idea and BOOM, you have a project.

Step down method and reciprocal method?

Both step-down method and reciprocal method belongs to the allocation metods which can be used to allocate support department costs to opertating department.

(Now, I wanna tell you the three allocation methods are direct method, step-down method and reciprocal method.)

First of all, the step-down method allocates some (but not all) support department costs to other support departments. Secondly, the first support department's costs are allocated to all operating and support departments that use its services. Then, each subsequent support department's costs are allocated to all operating and support departments that use its services, except any support department whose costs were already allocated. What's more, allocation order must be determined.

For reciprocal method, first and foremost, the reciprocal method allocates all support department costs to other support departments. Secondly, the first step is to compute the total costs of each support department when its usage of other support department services is taken into consideration. In addition, support department costs are then allocated to all other operating and support departments that consume its services.

I hope my answer can help your work. If I have some grammar mistakes, please point out, coz I am a Chinese adolescent. Thank you very much.

How does the scientific method work if your hypothesis is wrong?

You make a new hypothesis and then start over from the research.

Is there enough evidence to validate evolution as a theory?

For any hypothesis to be considered a theory, a scientific journal must be written and submitted to undergo rigorous peer evaluation. The theory of evolution has sufficient evidence and support to withstand the dissection from biologists around the world. However, keep in mind that the theory of evolution is not "proven" as nothing in the realm of science can be confirmed with absolute certainty.

Evolution is widely accepted among the scientifically literate. It is broadly rejected among those who hold religious objections. The theory has enjoyed tremendous success over the years, and is now considered to be the foundational theory of biology. Theodosius Dobzhansky once said, "nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." I would consider that a pretty strong validation.

What types of variables are used by scientist in a scientific study?

That are the German variables.....
Also called Metric System.....
They used that because it is world-wide known....
For example: Inch is getting Millimeter, Centimeter, Decimeter, Meter or Kilometer
Pounds getting Milligramm, Gramm, Kilogramm or Tonns

What is the last step in conducting an experiment?

Of the experiment, Observation. Of the entire process, conclusion.

Why isn't a luck-based hypothesis considered to be science?

"Luck" is actually a core element of science. Although, perhaps written in a different light.

Everything is based on statistics. For any occurrence, there is a statistical probability that it will and will not occur. In many senses, a toss of a coin.

In a sense, this is akin to luck.

People create a confidence interval to describe this aspect. Something doesn't have to happen all the time. In fact an occurrence can be quite rare. One just has to have a 95% confidence that one's experimental variable is related to confirm a hypothesis.

Consider smoking for example.
Not all smokers develop lung cancer. Actually those that develop lung cancer are in the minority.
And, some non-smokers will develop lung cancer.
However, smokers develop lung cancer at a higher rate than non-smokers. And, this is a statistical difference.
One can isolate some genes that will predispose one to develop lung cancer, in effect increasing the risk. And, these genes plus smoking will make it more likely to occur.

But, when it comes down to it... it all hinges on luck. A coin toss... A roll of the dice... on whether or not one gets the cancer. One may take actions to weight the dice against oneself, but it still hinges on a roll of the dice.

What does results mean for science projects?

This is the outcome, the data you got from your project. For instance, if you did a project comparing different fertilizers for use in growing flowers, your results would be how high (on average) your flowers grew in each different fertilizer.

Discuss why experimental results must be reproducible in order to be considered valid?

If the experiment is not reproducible, no one can perform the experiment independently to confirm the results.

The scientific method uses observations and wich other process to answer questions?

Observations, erecting a hypothesis, and then experimentation to answer questions in science.

What makes a good hypothesis for science fair?

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This is the first step to any good scientific experiment.

P.S. Fluttershy is best pony.
