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 types of information can be collected through qualitative observation?

Qualitative observations are the reactions that you see occuring. They mey be melting,bubbles, fizzing,smoke, the colour of the solution,and anything change you see that occurs. Don't talk about anyhting you can not see.

What is a hypothesis for length of string telephone responding variable clairity of sound?

A hypothesis is a prediction or proposed explanation for something. A hypothesis for the length of string telephone with a clarity of sound responding variable can be about the string length affecting the quality of the sound.

What does observation mean?

it means like when your looking at the project your looking at whats happening every day... =]]

it means by watching something and seeing whats going on around it so that if someone ask you, you can be able tell them what happen...
It means to take notice of things around you. To learn by watching. For example, I observe that you spelled the word 'does' wrong in your question.

What would be a sound hypothesis?

Many people recommend using a simple format.

- If... then...because... &

- include manipulating variable and a controlled variable of some sort Example: IF I put two clover plants into 3" pots and water one with soda and then other with water, THEN the one with soda will not grow taller BECAUSE of the sugar content in the soda.

What is the velocity of hurricanes categories 1-6?

Hurricane categories are determined by a storm's maximum 1-minute sustained wind speed.

Category 1: 75-95 mph

Category 2: 96-110 mph

Category 3: 111-129 mph

Category 4: 130-156 mph

Category 5: 157 mph or greater.

There is no Category 6.

What is the relationship between resistivity and circumference?

The relationship between resistivity and circumference is inverse.

The resistance of a substance decreases as the surface area of that substance increases. The greater circumference presents a greater conduction surface.

Answer

The original answer describes resistance, NOT resistivity. Additionally, it is incorrect because resistance is inversely-proportional to cross-sectional area NOT circumference!

There is NO relationship between resistivity and the circumference of a material. Resisitivity is a constant at any given temperature and is completely unaffected by the dimensions of a material.

When determining your options you will gather information and make?

Determining your options means, by inference, that you will make decisions based on the information you gather. Note that even if you decide to do nothing, it is still a decision.

What is a valid hypothesis?

A valid hypothesis is one that is testable and rejectable, can be proven true as well as verified without external evidence. It also needs to be accepted by public opinion.

What is slope over distortion?

i believe you mean that the question is to do with the gradient of a line

the gradient of a line is the change in height divided by the change in distance

which is the same as slope divided by distortion

if a man goes up a hill and his height cahnges by 1 metres vertically and he walks horizontally 10 metres then the slope is 1 metre and the distortion is 10 metres.

Gradiend is 1 -10th or 10%.....

What was the effect of the condemnations of 1210-1277?

The Condemnations of 1210 to 1277 allowed scientists to pursue science empirically.

With the beginnings of the university system, standards on education were introduced to Europe. This happened in the 11th and 12th centuries.

In the 12th century, texts of ancient and medieval scientific words were translated into Latin and made available. These included both ancient Greek texts and Arabic. For whatever reason, the universities and their professors decided that they were going to teach strict conformance to Aristotelian science.

The implications of strict Aristotelian science included a halt to scientific advancement beyond what Aristotle knew, and that Aristotle was infallible. The second of these was found unacceptable by the Church, which began investigating into what to do about the situation.

The Condemnations of 1210 to 1277 condemned the teaching that Aristotle was infallible. This freed scientists to go beyond Aristotle. There are historians who believe this was the beginning of modern science.
