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 can the scientific method help in solving malaria problems?

Is it true that there are people out there who can look exactly like you but you guys wont like the same things you guys just look alike?

... 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.

What are two parts of a scientific name?

The first part of the scientific name is the genus name. The second part is the species name. If there is a third part, it refers to the subspecies name.

Here's an example:

Canis lupus familiaris

"Canis" is the name of the genus that the domestic dog belongs to, along with wolves and coyotes. "lupus" refers to the species within the Canis genus that wolves and domestic dogs belong to. "familiaris" refers to the subspecies that only domestic dogs, and not wolves, belong to. Note that only the genus name in a scientific name starts with a capital letter.

What is the working principle of the kaleidoscope?

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.

What is the difference between hypothesis and inference?

Why is the snorg hypothesis not scientific?

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.

How is the scientific method used to study the Bible?

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.

Can the scientific method be used to deny or prove the existence of God?

Not conclusively; at least not yet. Otherwise, either atheism or religion would have been universally accepted among people who have learned the relevant topics.

However, if someone claims that the answer is No because no evidence is out there (or has been found), his statement would be misleading. The scientific method is used to seekevidence, not to deny its existence. Such seeking can certainly be attempted.

What steps of the sientific method did Oswald Avery and his associates use in their transformation experiments?

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.

How do i go about doing a brief secondary investigation of a question of interest to me related to organizational culture?

Organizational culture is a pretty hard thing to define, much less assess it's current problems, issues and opportunities. Let's start with a definition: Organizational culture consists of the actions, behaviors, systems, values and beliefs that persist over time. Please note that "persistent" also implies hard to change. There are volumes and volumes written on assessing (or diagnosing) organizational culture. Some of those references are below. There are three main methods of assessing organizational culture: archival methods, that use historical data, such as absenteeism, turnover, customer relations and retention, productivity records, etc.; The second is to gather information via surveys, whether they be numerical surveys, open-ended surveys, or some combination of both; and observation, where a consultant systematically observes meetings, discussions, individuals, etc. Usually a combination of all three will allow you to "triangulate" and come up with a thorough assessment of culture. Some of the books below will help. In addition, there are a couple of articles on websites that summarize much of the information. They are included in the web link to this article. Some references: Organizational Dynamics: Diagnosis and Intervention (Addison-Wesley Series on Organization Development) by John P.

What is Natural Approach Method in TESL?

A friend went to a class for Teaching English as a Second Language and she told me that, during the class they teach you to think like the native speakers do. For example, teaching groups of people who grew up in poor, hot, desert areas, finding and preserving potable water would be very important to them and their society. They might now even know what 'snow' is or "Christmas" songs.

There is a website that you can go to find out more info:
