What is the difference between scientific law and state law?
Scientific Law is proven by the demoonstration of an irrefutable fact - for instance The Law of Gravity.
Legal law refers to the body of man-made statutes passed by mankind in order to govern and control civilization and humanity.
Examples of renewable and nonrenewable energy?
renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight,rain,tides,and geothermal heat,which are renewable 2008 ,about 19%of global energy consumtion came from renewables with 13% coming from traditional biomass
Why are scientific method steps important?

Scientific investigation identify the steps of the scientific method?
1.Problem.
2.Hypothesis-suggested explanation for an observation.
3.Experiment-an organized produce.
4.Procedure-detailed steps of an experiment.
5.Observation.
6.Condusion.
Did the scientific method influence European societies beginning in the 16th century?
it gave scientists a way to repeat others' work to make sure it was correct
Is it true that science rarely develops absolute truths that apply to all living things?
No, because science is based off of observation. Scientists use experimentation and observation to explain the world around us. However, the scientific theories they come up with are only as good as the experiments and observations they make.
When something is proven over and over again, people usually accept it as true (like the existence of gravity). However, many scientific theories have been disproven later on throughout history, meaning science isn't always 'true'.
How can you avoid getting a shock from static electricity when you touch a metal doorknob?
When the humidity is low, static charge will build up no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The only thing I have found is to touch metal object with something else before touching my hand.
What are the 3 parts of a conclusion in the scientific method?
The three parts to a conclusion: 1. Restates the main premise 2. Presents one or two general sentences which accurately summarise your arguments which support the main premise 3. Provides a general warning of the consequences of not following the premise that you put forward and/or a general statement of how the community will benefit from following that premise
How many dependent variables do you want in an experiment?
In a controlled experiment only 1 variable is being tested.
Why mercury is used in hydrometer?
A hydrometer consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. Mercury has a higher density, thus a lower volume for the same weight than lead. It is a toxic liquid metal, but also more dangerous and difficult to clear up the mess when a glass hydrometer is broken
How many manipulated variables does a controlled experiment have?
It can have as many as it needs. You can even change different variables at the same time and study their individual influence with proper statistical tools in many type of experiments.
What conducting an experiment using the scientific method the scientific should?
He should relax, try not to hover over the apparatus or worry about the results, and
try to manage his stress and conserve his energy, perhaps by having a warm drink or
some light refreshments, reading the newspaper, going to a movie, singing a song, or
taking a nap. That way, when the experiment has finished conducting, he will still be
fresh and alert enough to record the data accurately, and interpret it correctly.
What are some of the steps scientist take to perform experiments?
1. ask questions,
2. make observations,
3. form a hypothesis,
4. test the hypothesis,
5. analyze results,
6. draw a conclusion,
7. communicate results.
A method for conducting and analyzing an experiment?
Scientific Method: Asking a question - the main reason for your experiment is to find something out. Ask it here. Forming a hypothesis - the format of If..., then..., because... Which states what you think will happen and why. Testing the hypothesis - this is the actual experiment or test. Analyze data to form a conclusion - interpret the results and then come up with your final statement on what happened. This should answer the original question unless your experiment was unsuccessful. Analyzing data may also include making a chart, table, or graph.
Is data an indispensable part of the scientific method?
Yes, collecting and organizing data is an indispensable part of the scientific method. Also, analyzing the data accurately and without bias is also indispensable in order to draw accurate conclusions.
Why does black absorb more heat than silver?
black absorbs more heat because the color black absorbs all colors of the color spectrum. White absorbs less heat then black because is reflects all the colors of the spectrum. Black is a non exsistant color that is the disappearence of light therefore it absorbs heat and light.
What is the control and the variable in a science fair project?
Controls are used to show that the test, equipment, procedure...are working properly. One would expect negative controls to give negative results and positive controls to give positive results. Controls used would depend on the experiment.
