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.

OH- (note the negative charge) is the hydroxide ion. This ion consists of a deprotonated water molecule; it acts as a base.
OH (typically denoted ROH) can also denote a hydroxyl group, which is a common functional group in organic chemistry. For example MeOH is methanol, CH3OH.
What observation method would you use to observe gross motor skills in a child?
I would watch the child as they play, run, walk, and move about a yard or play area. Might throw a ball at them to see how they catch the ball and balance themselves. I would look for right/left lateral movements and how well they move arms/legs and if they are in sync . I might set up an obstacle course to see if they can move through it and how they used their body in relationship to the objects/ space. I would make a check off sheet for myself with a scale of 1-10 for each movement and action.
What is the process of developing a hypothesis?
To develop a hypothesis you need to observe and make an educated guess, by starting the sentence with "If...then.....because...."
How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?
That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.
yes that is the correct answer
After scientist make a hypothesis they perform a?
Answer
According to the scientific method, scientists perform an experiment.
Answer
I suppose you could say scientists perform an experiment next, but that is skipping some crucial points. How can you perform an experiment when all you have are ideas? Before you test out your hypothesis, you need to gather materials and draw up your procedure. Scientists just don't jump into something; they need a step-by-step plan of how they will carry out their test. In addition, they will also make predictions given their hypothesis. They need to know what result(s) will support or falsify the initial hypothesis.Ambient temperature and water temperature difference?
Ambient refers to the temperature of the surrounding air, i.e not at parking lot level etc. Ambient means the temperature not being effected by mechanical means, like AC or any heat source. example, if you serve a wine at ambient temperature, it is not a specific number it is what ever the room is at the time.
Why is there no single set of a streps in the scientific method?
the scientific method is not a series of exact steps but rather a strategy for drawing sound conclusions. :)
If you can get the correct value then amend the record. But it may be too late for that - you may not be able "to go back in time" to obtain the correct value. In that case, make a note of the faulty data point and either exclude it from analyses. If the data are multivariate you may be able to estimate the "true" value but will have to give up a degree of freedom in any statistical analyses.
What is the first step in the scientific method that scientist take when they begin their work?
Well it all kind of depends on what kind of scientists you want to become... but first you start by studying whatever you want to study so say you were an animal scientists you find an animal like uh... spider you could study that animal & find out it's mysterieslike what's the most poisinous spider?? That answer would be a black widow.
In science what distinguishes a hypothesis from a theory?
A Hypothesis is a statement or objective one has set out to test or query.
eg An unsupported object will fall when dropped.
This can be proved or disproved through experimentation. After testing the above hypothesis multiple times (with a scientific method) one can deduce the statement that all unsupported objects fall when dropped.
Through more study one can form a scientific theory to explain the happenings in the experimentation. Using the about example the theory of Gravity and its effect on objects can be formed. A scientific theory can be disproven after formation.
TLDR: first comes unproven hypothesis, then after experimentation a scientific theory is formed.
What is a tripod and how it is used?
A tripod is a general term for a stand or support
with three legs. It is often used to support a camera
gun, or to place above the Bunsen burner in the science lab
to heat/boil anything.
In the science laboratory, a metal gauze is placed on top of it to
give support to the beaker (An iron ring clamp with a ring stand
can often be used instead and an iron ring allows for easy height adjustment).

1. Choose a problem
2. Research your problem
3. Develop a hypothesis
4. Write your hypothesis
5. Test your hypothesis
6. Organize your data
7. Write your conclusion
What is the terminal velocity of body in a freely falling system?
Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.
What do you need to have a valid scientific hypothesis?
It must be testable, and must be falsify-able

Is guessing at what you think will happen - based on what you have read - or observed?
Only if you have read or observed something similar in the past.
All guesses of future events is based on the sum total of your own past experiences, and is the major function of the brain.
Note that you live ONLY in the past, but that manipulating the future is an absolute requirement for survival. Think of life as driving a car with the windshield painted black ... your skill in using what you can learn from your rear view mirrors is critical for getting to your destination.
More Information:
For most, in trying to predict future events, intellectual knowledge is filtered by experientialknowledge. It is the integration of these two sources of information that forms the main resource upon which the projection of future outcomes is based.
What is a situation when scientific method can be apply?
Try to see if a paper airplane will fly farther with 5 paperclips on the nose as opposed to 0,1,or 3.
Question: Will the # of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane cause the plane to fly farther?
Hypothesis: 5 paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane will make he plane fly farther than with 3,1,or 0 paperclips on the nose.
Experiment: Make paper airplanes and fly them with 0 paperclips on the nose. Repeat this test 3 times. Record about how many meters each test flew. Repeat this with 1 paper clip, than 3 paperclips, and finally 5 paperclips.
Analyse: Record the average of the 3 tests. write down the steps you took in completing the experiment. Also write down the controlled, dependent, and independent variables of the experiment.
Conclusion: 5 paperclips on the nose of the paper airplane will make the plane fly farther than with 0,1,or 3 paperclips on the nose.
Compare: Compare the averages, variables, and steps taken along with any other data, to that of other scientists. Remember, a valid experiment can be repeated with duplicated results.
A ring shape coral island found far from land is called?
A ring shaped coral island found for from land is called an atoll.
What are the steps in a scientific conclusion?
They use the Scientific Method. The Scientific Method is made up of steps scientists take to draw a conclusion... It is simple 9the grade biology...
Step 1: Form a Question
Step 2: Research the Question
Step 3: Form a Hypothesis (educated guess)
Step 4: Conduct an Experiment (use quantitative and qualitative data)
Step 5: Form Your Conclusion Based on Results
