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 are the five major steps of the scientific method of solving problems?

The five(5) steps to the Scientific Method:-

*Problem:Stated as a question/

*Hypotesis:- a scientific or educational guess.

*Materials:- list all the materials that are used in the experiment.

*Procedures:- list step by step directions needed to be followed for this experiment.

*Results/Conclusion:-re- state your problem/question. Answer your hypothesis(was it correct or not.)Gather together all your information.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of aluminum?

well they are used for your mom when i did her and then you came in and i said what the hell get out of here werid o and take that aluminum can with you that's my hor and your pratice toy get it out of here

What is the melting point of polypropylene?

The softening temperature of polypropylene is 150 degrees Celsius. Its melting point is between 160 and 170 degrees Celsius.

Where was the scientific method created?

Yes, it has a scientific method.Actually, there are 5 steps of scientific method. First, Identify the problem. Second, Gathering Information and Data. Third Formulate Hypothesis. Fourth, Experimentation. and Fifth, Conclusion. Scientific method is a logical way solving problem scientifically. I hope this will help. :)

Does scientific method ensure objectivity in research?

Scientific method does ensure objectivity in research. It also ensures that personal bias and emotional involvement do not factor into the results of the research.

What are reactant substances?

reactant substances usually come from groups 1 and 7 on the periodic table as it is easy to gain or lose 1 electron

What is the Function of the Measuring Cylinder?

A measuring cylinder also called graduated cylinder is laboratory glassware used to measure the volume of liquids. Some of its functions are the following: it is used at home when there is a need to measure volume of liquid ingredients required for a recipe and itÕs also used to accurately measure liquids used in chemistry or biology laboratories.

What is the difference of relative density versus density?

Absolute versus relative densityDensity is mass per unit volume. To determine an object's density (absolute), simply divide its mass by its volume. For example, 1000 kilograms of water occupies one cubic meter. We can therefore say that water's density is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3), which equals one kilogram per liter (kg/L), which also equals one gram per milliliter (g/mL).

Now, let's say you have some other substance that also occupies one cubic meter but weighs 2000 kilograms. It has a density of 2000 kg/m3. In other words, relative to water, the substance is twice as dense as water. Now you have an idea of what relative density is.

If we use water as a reference, we can compare other substances' densities to the density of water. Simply divide the substance's absolute density by the absolute density of water to get the relative density of the substance (relative to water). Relative density is a unit-less quantity; it is just a number. If a substance is denser than water, its relative density will be greater than one. If it's less dense than water, it will have a relative density less than one.

Relative density is also known as Specific Gravity.

In what ways does koch's procedure demonstrate the use of scientific methods?

Koch's Postulates (Procedures):

Step 1. ASSOCIATION: The suspected pathogen must be consistently associated with the diseased plant (or animal).

Step 2. ISOLATION: The pathogen must be isolated and grown in pure culture and its characteristics described.

Step 3. INOCULATION: The pathogen from pure culture is inoculated into a healthy plant of the same species or variety and it must produce the same symptoms and signs.

Step 4. RE-ISOLATION: The pathogen is re-isolated from the inoculated plant and its characteristics must be the same as the organism initially isolated in step 2.

Ask a question- Is this a pathogen

Do Research- find the suspected pathogen and isolate it and grow a pure culture

Construct a Hypothesis-

Test- Inject suspected pathogen into healthy organisms

Analyze and Conclude- If suspected pathogen has produced same signs and symptoms in multiple tests on same organisms then it is indeed a pathogen

Does salt effect the freezing process of water?

Salt molecules bond with water molecules, making it more difficult forr icce to form. The results is a lower freezing temperture. For example, a 10% salt solution freezes at 20'F (-6'C) , while a 20% salt solution freezes at 2'F (- 16'C).

What is the method of solving scientific problems based mostly on observations?

im not exactly sure what it is but i think it might be a 11 letter word second letter is e

Why are glass tubings rotated while being heated?

Since glass is a poor conductor of heat, it may crack on uneven heating. Therefore, in order to heat it evenly, you have to rotate the glass tubing.

What bias is in an scientific experiment?

If for example, some of the measuring equipment were incorrectly calibrated. For example a cloth measuring tape will over time, stretch, and thus underestimate the true length. If a beam balance were not correctly leveled, then the balance point would be wrongly shown, and the weighings would be in error. These errors would be bias. In addition, there are some operator errors. A well known one is for a particular operator, when estimating the fine graduations of a scale, to have a bias towards even numbers.

What is the Hypothesis about the apple turning brown?

That the lime was going to help the apple from turning brown.

How is Hypothesis different from scientific law?

A hypothesis is a guess when a scientific law has been answered and proven.

Eratosthenes determined the circumference of Earth by conducting an experiment Put his steps in order as they correlate to the scientific method?

  1. State the problem: How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?

  2. Make a hypothesis: If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.

  3. Make observations and collect data: In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.

What is the steps of the scientific method?

1). identify the problem

2). collect information

3). make a hypothesis

4). test your hypothesis

5). record and analyze

6). draw a conclusion

What is a collection of atoms called?

A large collection of neutral atoms with the same atomic number is a sample of an element. Elements include include lithium, hydrogen, neon, and oxygen. Note that different isotopes of elements exist; these are atoms with the same atomic number but having a different number of neutrons.

What does a hypothesis have to do with a science project?

In short, a hypothesis is a statement believed to be true - because of observation or reasoning, for example - but one not yet tested by experiment, or, in mathematics, not formally proven to be true. Hypotheses in science are often predictive, and their predictions can form the basis of experiments to prove or refute them.
That really captuers the spirit of it. Thanks for posting.
