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.
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.
What is another name for the scientific method?
The Null Hypothesis. May be referred to as (H0). It is a statistical test and tricky in that this Null hypothesis can never be tested, so is tested in conjunction with some other hypothesis in such a way as the testing procedure, measurements made, will be done in a way as to show which hypothesis is more likely.
An example is given in Wikipedia regarding the tossing of a coin is worth viewing.
Null Hypothesis : we have a normal coin
Alternative Hypothesis one: we have a double headed coin
alternative Hypothesis two: Some unknown influence on an not normal coin
if a coin is tossed many times, say 100, and comes up heads each time the Null hypothesis is least likely of the three and REJECTED in favour of one of the other alternatives.
if the coin flips over and over and over easily but always lands heads up, most likely hypothesis two is correct and the Null Hypothesis REJECTED.
if the coin acts real strange by not going end over end and immediately falls very quickly down to land one particular side up hypothesis three is more likely and the Null Hypothesis REJECTED.
if the coin acts normally going end over end and lands about as many times heads as it does tails the Null Hypothesis is RETAINED as most likely.
The Null Hypothesis is either retained [kept as most likely true] or it is rejected in favour of the alternative. so it can be seen choosing which alternative to test against is always best and the simplest is generally the one to look at.

Why does steam turn into water on a window?
It is absorbed into the drier air from outside the bathroom.
What are the five components of scientific methods?
A great way to get information is by doing exactly what you did to know how to get information; search it on the Internet. You can also read books or ask cultivated people about what ever you are trying to get information about. Good luck in your quest to get information!
What is the correct order of fossilization?
organism dies
sediments make layers
buried in sediment
erosion exposes fossils
minerals replace bone and shell
How can you use the scientific method to answer questions?
A scientific question is one that can be answered by making observations and gathering evidence; one that can be investigate by scientific inquiry A scientific question is a type of question concerning something that is answerable with a scientific method, explanation or scientific experiment.
Why fuse wire should have low melting point?
it has a high melting point because it does not melt until and unless the amp goes above 15( which is its bearing capacity )and getting 15 amp is impossible.It is only found in nueclear power plants
What would be the first step in the scientific method?
The first step in any scientific inquiry is pose a question.
What are the 6 steps of scientific methods in order?
The six steps to the Scientific Method is as follows:
Step 1 ask a question.
Step 2 make a hypothesis.
Step 3 design an experiment.
Step 4 carry out the procedure.
Step 5 record and analyze data.
Step 6 Draw conclusions and evaluate hypothesis.
Wegener hypothesized that, on earth, there was only one continent called Pangea, but it split into the continents we have now.
Improved Another Answer:
Wegener's hypothesis was that long 225 million years ago, there was a supercontinent called Pangaea (All the continents were all together).
Wegener saw that South America and Africa looked like they could fit together like puzzle pieces. He then found that there were fossils of animals in a warm climate and it was also in a very cold climate. He thought, "How could that be? The animal couldn't have lived in two different kinds of climates and how could it have swam across the sea?!"
What are two chemical properties of iron?
Physical Properties of Iron
1. Boils at 2750°C
2. Iron's density is 7.874g/cc
3. It is silver- white when pure
4. Its atomic mass is 55.847
5. It reflect 65% of the light that hits it
Chemical Properties of Iron
1. Oxidizes in damp air
2. It dissolves quickly in dilute acids
4. It corrodes fast in high temperatures
5.When iron is exposed to air it reacts with oxygen
to form hydrated ferric oxide on its surface (rust).
What are the steps of a scientfic method?
Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results
How has the nature of science and the scientific method changed over time?
I dunno. It has developed a lot due to experiments.
P.S I think that's right!! lol
:-D
Hope I helped!!!!
What is the metric root for length?
I'm am not sure if you mean the measurements but if yes the answer is simple. Volume is measured in the same units as length except after the measurement you add a little 3. eg. 35cm3 (a small 3 on the top on the side i put the three on!) The reason the three is there is because in volume there are three dimensions, thus the term 3D.
Here is the system I follow by:
10mm3=1cm3(or 1cc-cubic centimeter)
100cm3=1m3
1000m3=1km3
I hope I have helped.
P.S: I am a person in my 6th year of school and my name is Ray-Jean and again, I hope I helped!
Why was wegener's hypothesis not widely accepted at the time it was prospered?
Wegener was ignored for so long because no scientists believed him about his theory of continental drift. No scientists believed him because he couldn't explain how the continents had moved until the time of Harry Hess or J. Tuzo Wilson.
Your guess to what you think what will happen. The above answer is for a "HYPOTHESIS", however the true question here is an anatomy question of "What is the Hypophesis?". To begin "hypophesis" is actually spelled "hypophysis". The hypophysis is AKA the pituitary gland. Some people also mistakingly use the word hypophysis to describe premature portions of bone in relation to the "physis" (aka:growth plate), inwhich there is no such thing in relation to the bones.
