Scientific Method

Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light source
than what the source has without the magnifying glass.

The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...
that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no more
heat or light to work with than what enters the glass.

The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight up
and hang the pot over it.

A observation is statements that are determined by using your 5 sences

Copepods are a subclass of crustaceans called Copepoda in the class Maxillopoda. There are several orders, each with several genera, each with several species. Just to provide one example out of many species, there is a freshwater copepod found only in the US called Aglaodiaptomus kingsburyae. See http://www.answers.com/topic/copepoda-2?cat=technology

Science is useful everywhere. Having good knowledege is very importanat as it can benefit you when you need it. Like for example, you are lost in the forest and need food, shelter and water. You will know if you learned that if you are lost in the forest at dusk, the sun would be at the west. If your home is east you can go the opposite way. If you are lost at night , you can follow the north star. You might also need knowledge on poisonous fungi and plants and be alert of edible and inedible stuff.

Evidence.

trial-and-error

A parameter is an attribute that refers to the entire population. (For example, the mean price of all motor vehicles in a city). A sample is collected from this population of all motor vehicles in that city to compute a statistic (here, the statistic is the average price of the vehicles in the sample) which is representative of the true price.

Einsten was a theorist, not an experimentalist. He developed theories to explain other people's data, which doesn't really fit in with the formal scientific method taught in schools.

The common salt present in permanent hard water is calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). These salts contribute to the hardness of water by forming insoluble precipitates with soap, leading to the formation of soap scum.

Yes, the scientific method can be used to test supernatural phenomena. So far studies conducted in a scientific manner suggest that supernatural occurrences do not exist.

... Sigh. America. How ashamed i am of thee sometimes...

First of all, there are no two people who are exactly alike in looks. Its physically impossible, even for identical twins, to not have an outstanding feature from the other (One Twin may be taller, or more commonly, have freckles or moles in different places than their sibling)

Second of all, If you really think physical appearance determines intrests/activities/taste, then you are shallow. Each human being is unique in that you have a soul, whether you believe in a greater power or not (Personally, i am an athiest) you have a soul, and the decisions, the intrests, the realtionships and connections that you have shape your soul into a unique body. The Idea of Perfectly (Mentally) Identical Twins is... Orwellian. No two people on this earth are the same, whether it be by looks, intrests, taste, or any other human attribute. Its the beauty of life, that each being is in and of itself a beautiful, completly unique person.

Now, please Go to your local Library and read a book, preferably not one involving large text and pictures -_-

Coughx

it help alot otherwise the world would finish till now from disease of malaria

yes because you need to always remember the 7 rules of safety in case of a emergency

The scientific method is a way explore questions, it is not a way to 'fix' anything.

A kaleidoscope is a device made of (usually three) mirrors facing each other. In most cases, some small, sparkly matter is put in a slide on the end. Anything on the end is reflected by the mirrors, and the mirrors reflect each other, repeating the image over and over.

There is no experiment or possible evidence that could prove that invisible snorgs do not exist. So the Snorg Hypothesis is not scientific. On the other hand, the "Negative Snorg Hypothesis" (that they do not exist) is scientific. You can disprove it by catching one.

A hypothesis is a statement of fact or belief upon which further conclusions can be drawn.

An inference is the meaning that I attribute to someone else's statement or action.

Do you mean you are thinking of forming an hypothesis, gathering quantitative data, and testing it somehow? I have to say that seems like an odd approach to studying the Bible. Or do you simply mean forming questions and then looking for the answers in the Bible? I suppose that would be what the "scientific method" really is about, to state it simply. Well, a scientific approach also should keep personal bias and subjective observations out of the equation, so to speak. That would actually be very beneficial in studying the Bible, I think. You wouldn't go into it with a preconceived intent to discredit it, as it seems some scientifically-inclined individuals have done.

Something I would like to point out about the Bible is that it was obviously not written to be a science textbook. It was written to be understood by people from all levels of learning, from all cultures, all types of people. To me, that is part of its genius.

However, when it does touch on scientific matters it is actually quite factual, matching up with proven science.

Oswald Avery and his associates followed several key steps of the scientific method in their transformation experiments. They began by making observations about the effects of heat-killed pathogenic bacteria on non-pathogenic strains. They formed a hypothesis that a substance from the heat-killed bacteria was responsible for transforming the non-pathogenic bacteria into pathogenic forms. Through systematic experimentation, they isolated and purified DNA, demonstrating that it was the transforming principle, thus supporting their hypothesis with empirical evidence.
