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.

In which step of the SQ4R method would you take notes to further renforce information in your mind?

In the SQ4R method, you would take notes during the "Recite" step. After reading and understanding the material, this step involves summarizing the key points in your own words, which reinforces your comprehension and retention of the information. By actively engaging with the content through note-taking, you enhance your memory and understanding of the subject matter.

The scientific method uses odservation and which other process to answer questions?

Observation, forming of a hypothesis, testing this hypothesis and verification/repeatability. Any where along that line that breaks down may necessitate starting over again.

Why might a scientist need to repeat a step in scientific method?

So he/she could look at the data again if something goes wrong.

How do you use the word scientific method in a sentence?

You just did. Just change "the word scientific method..." to "the TERM scientific method".

Or you could say "That's not following the scientific method."

What variables changes in an experiment?

The dependent variable changes, also known as the one that changes because of the changes you make. Say you wanted to see if a plant grew faster if you watered it with soda. So the controlled variable would be the plant with water in it and the dependent variable (the one that's being changed) would be the plant being watered with the soda.

How mongo seed grow?

Mango seeds grow when sufficient moisture and nutrients enter the seed. This triggers a response inside the seed which begins the growing process.

What is an experiment using the steps of the scientific method?

an experiment is:

How many students at your school like Doritos and Cheetos? Which is preferred ?

Different ways to use scientific method?

1. Ask a question

2.develop hypothesis

3.make predictions

4.experiment

5.Critique and improve

6.confirmation from other data/experiments

Example of activity using observation as scientific method?

Observing a change in state of matter is a observation that could be made and recorded.

Can a hypothesis be wrong?

Absolutely yes, an hypothesis can be wrong. Here are some examples:

  • Lack of accurate information can influence an hypothesis. Example: Christopher Columbus's hypothesis was that he would reach the Far East. He didn't know the Americas existed. His hypothesis was wrong.
  • Personal biases can influence an hypothesis. Example: If I was mugged by a Caucasian Middle-Aged Woman, I could later form an hypothesis in a professional study that Caucasian Middle-Aged Women are more angry than other ages of Caucasian Women. A bias can also be racial discrimination.
  • Lack of a large enough group or cohort to study. Example: If I want to study male sexuality, but only 2 males join the study, how can I make any correct hypothesis about "most men" if I only study 2 men? However, if I study 10,000 men, it provides a larger group with more diversity and gives me a greater chance of making a correct hypothesis.

The best scientists and researchers know that questions lead to an hypothesis, and an hypothesis leads to more questions, which often means changing the working hypothesis. As an example, the study of cancer and its causes have been going on for years. Every study has an hypothesis, but, many hypotheses may have crumbled away in the studies and results. Hypothesis can be proven or disproven ... therefore can be accurate/right, or inaccurate/wrong.

Why should the scientific method of research be followed?
