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.

How is Hypothesis different from scientific law?
A hypothesis is a guess when a scientific law has been answered and proven.
-
State the problem: How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?
-
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.
-
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.
Identify the scientific method in the correct sequence?
1.Observe
2. Hypothesis
3. Background
4. Materials/procedure
5. Experiment/data collection
6. Analyze data
7. Draw conclusion
8. Make a new hypthesis
9. Variables !
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.
It is spelled inference.
It means a logical deduction, but not a proof, based upon the facts at hand.
For example, if you mix two liquids together, and the resulting liquid becomes warm without the benefit of an external heat source, you can make an inference that the two liquids combined in an exothermic chemical reaction that caused the liquid to heat up.
What is an example of qualitative property?
Qualitative Properties: If you see, taste, hear, touch and/or smell something through observation, like the color, texture, state, and movement of matter, you are witnessing qualitative properties.
A characteristic of a substance that can be described, but not measured. (i.e. colour)
What type of fault caused the rat islands earthquake?
On February 4th, 1965, a reverse fault caused the Rat Islands Earthquake, Alaska, at 5:01 A.M.
The epicenter is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake. Anyone standing there would be the first to feel the vibrations.
Seismic waves can vary from a low speed of 2 to 8 kilometers per second in the earth's crust to as much as 13 kilometers per second in the deep mantle. Some waves that go downward and reflect up off the earth's core may actually arrive before the waves that go in a straight line!
A rough approximation says that someone 50 miles away would feel the vibrations between 6 and 40 seconds later.
A+ls: before the other person
What step of the scientific method involves identifying variables?
The first step of the scientific method requires scientists to observe in order to obtain information. The next step is to formulate a hypothesis.
What step of the scientific method immediately follows the hypothesis?
-_- figure it out u need to be smart -_-
In science does the hypothesis have to be testable?
A hypothesis is often used as a starting point to define the scope and objectivity of performing an experiment. A hypothesis is a statement that implies there is insufficient evidence to support an idea or an explanation of an observation or principle. It is a statement of unproven fact, sometimes just a guess that is tentatively accepted as a basis or foundation for further investigation. If a hypothesis is proven to be correct beyond reasonable doubt, it becomes a theory and is generally accepted by the scientific community. I hope this answered your question!
What are primary and secondary effects?
A primary affect is what happens during and throughout the day of the earthquake. Earthquake primary effects may include:
- landslides
- trees collapsing
- buildings collapsing
- people buried in rubble
- school children trapped under collapsed schools
- Poorly built buildings toppling over
- Limbless crying orphans impaled on twisted metal poles.
and secondary affects are the consequences of the primary effects, or the things that happen later on from the earthquake. Some secondary effects may include:
- homelessness
- need of emergency housing
- households were inaccessible by road due to landslides
- food will be lost
- Disease spread, sourced from people drinking the dirty, contaminated water
- Cracks in the ground and walls.
- buildings split in two.
- Lots of rubble that takes years to move
What is the scientific method used for and what are the steps?
Scientific method- a procedure for gathering information about the natural world, in which experimentation and observation are used to test hypotheses.
- Define a question (hypothesis)
- Gather information and resources (observe)
- Form an explanatory hypothesis
- Test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner (experiment)
- Analyze the data (analyze)
- Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis (conclusion)
- Publish results
What is the equivalent to 70 knots in mph?
1 mph = 0.868976242 knots
70 times .869 = 60.83, so just over 60mph
What is the scientific method about?
The scientific method is an objective, consistent and self-checking process for discovering the causes, effects and relationships between phenomena and properties in the physical, real, natural world, without resort to nonexplainable concepts and subjective bias.
The Scientific Method Song by Have Fun Teaching is a science song that teaches the seven steps of the scientific method. The Scientific Method Song by Have Fun Teaching teaches kids about Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Prediction, Experiment, Analyze Data, and Draw a Conclusion. This is a song for learning the steps of the Scientific Method.
1. Observe
2. Question
3. Hypothesis
4. Predict
5. Experiment
6. Analyze Data
7. Draw a Conclusion
How can a scientist test a hypothesis if its impossible to control the experiment?
To answer a specific question, scientist form a hypothesis. If the hypothesis cannot be testable or answered, they'll give you a prediction of what will most likely happen from the results of the hypothesis.
What are scientific qualities?
size, texture, smell, shape ,mass ,etc
or anything that can be measured or gauged such as magnetic force ,water pressure , or radiation etc.
the effects of and what it effects and reaction to.
can also be considered as scientific qualities as well .
in short any aspect of a subject (object , gas ,substance ,unseen force, etc) that can be measured or quantified is concidered the scientific qualities of said subject .
Another Perspective:
The following, partial list of general qualities of science, derive directly from the Scientific Method.
Purposeful: (Clearly defined purpose)
Systematic: (Good plan and it is followed)
Objective: (Freedom to follow where the evidence leads)
Logical: (rules of logic: deduction and induction are applied)
Empirical: (evidence is from observation, experience, or experiment)
Replicable: (Others must be able to repeat the research)
Honest: (Frank and truthful reporting of data and findings)
What type of eruption does Mount Cleveland have?
Mount Cleveland in Alaska is a stratovolcano that typically has explosive eruptions due to the build-up of gas pressure within its magma chamber. These eruptions can produce ash plumes, pyroclastic flows, and lava flows.
What are the six stages of scientific investigation?
If you mean the scientific method, here you go:
1. State the Problem
2. Research, Gather Information
3. Form a Hypothesis
4. Test the Hypothesis
5. Analyze Data
6. Draw Conclusions
Who was the first person to compare and contrast the scientific method?
The philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon is credited with being one of the first people to explicitly outline the principles of the scientific method in his work "Novum Organum". Bacon emphasized the importance of observation, experimentation, and inductive reasoning in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
