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.
4,392 Questions
What can you write when your hypothesis is correct?
You write that the data supported your hypothesis.
What is the Tomatis method used for?
The Tomatis method is used for conditions including dyslexia , attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome , autism, depression, and behavioral problems.
What is difference between a hypothesis and a scientific hypothesis?
A scientific hypothesis has to be testable.
How do you make a bow from a fishing rod?
To make a bow from a fishing rod, remove the fishing line and reel from the rod. Curve the fishing rod into a bow shape, making sure it has enough flexibility. You can then attach a string to the ends of the rod to complete your makeshift bow. Remember that a fishing rod may not be as effective as a traditional bow for archery purposes.
What is the discussion in an Experiment?
An Experiment has no use without its documentation. Regarding this: The Lab Book; it contains - Protocol; Equipment; chemicals this and procedures that, compression of the results occurs in the Conclusion, while The Discussion is the Section of the Report that follows the Conclusion.

What is the latest scientific developments?
This could be a tough one, but the BIGGEST recent one would have to be the 'water on the moon' test. NASA crashed a probe (on purpose) to see if there is water on the moon. The data's come back, but we still don't know!
Which dissolves better in water salt or baking soda?
if you add baking soda to warm or cold water it will dissolve better and faster than salt!
Why brown spot is formed while preparing chappati?
it can be due to burning or dehydration, i am not sure
What is gathering information by measuring or counting is called?
Quantification, although the collection process could be called data collection (just a guess :)
Why is probability important to a scientist?
Some but not all scientific models are based on the ability to determine the likelihood that a given experimental outcome has happened by chance alone. If you have an accurate understanding of how the variables in the experiment change when nothing in particular is affecting them, then you have a way to establish some confidence that your outcome is the result of your experimental procedure and not the result of purely random events. The experimental 'lingo' is that the researcher has to determine if the 'Null Hypothesis' can be rejected. The Null Hypothesis is that the experimental outcome is not significantly different from what you would expect if the experiment had no effect at all.
As an example, if the probability in the natural world is that some event will happen by chance only one tenth of one percent of the time, then when I observe that event as my experimental outcome, I can be reasonably sure that my procedure has brought about the event; it is so unlikely that it happened by chance. It is not perfect, but few scientific procedures are. This also highlights the importance of replicating studies or of doing meta-analyses of experimental data gathered in many experiments to further reduce the likelihood that observed outcomes are nothing more than chance events.
Why are umbrellas mostly black in color?
It's just because black colour has an advanced ability to absorb heat radiations much better and faster than any other colour. Then you might ask why does then we use it at sunshine to prevent body from heat. No surprise to your question it's because at the same time black is able to liberate back the absorbed heat at a faster rate. If you doubts this then you doubt about one more thing that why does most of the umbrellas are made silverish inside it. The answer to this is that black expells heat in all directions so in order to prevent heat entering inside the umbrella it is painted silverish inside as silver acts as a mirror, so it just reflects the heat back out to the umbrella. So we finds much cool inside with a silver coated umbrella than a black one.
What is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over again?
A scientific theory is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and still seems to be valid. These theories are tested by using the scientific method.
What are the steps to Scientific Inquiry?
Scientific Inquiry is the ongoing process of discovery in Science. There are 8 steps to Scientific Inquiry.
- Observations - An observation is the process of using one or more of your sences to gather information. There are 2 types of observations. Qualitative observations and quantitative observations. A qualitative obervation is an observation that deals with characteristics that cannot be expressed in numbers. A quantitative is an observation that deals with a number, size, or amount and have a unit.
- Investigative Question (Scientific Question) - Pose a question for your observation.
- Hypothesis - a hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question that is testable. A hypothesis must be testable. This means scientists must be able to carry out investigations and gather evidence that will either support or disapprove a hypothesis.
- Organize experiment - create your experiment to test your hypothesis. Identify the Manipulated, Responding, and Controlled variables. Also make sure you have atleast 1 Operational Definition.
- Test your experiment - test your experiment to see if your hypothesis is true.
- Collect Data - Now you see what happens. Make a table or graph to record the data collected. Analyze the data after they have been collected.
- Conclusion - Consider if there are enough data to support or dis approve the hypothesis. It is also a summary of what you have learned from the experiment.
- Communicate - Share your ideas and experimental findings wiht others through writing or speaking.
What is hypothesis of difference?
The alternativehypothesis (Ha or H1) describes the population parameters that the sample data represent, if the predicted relationship exists. It is always the hypothesis of difference. That is as opposed to the null hypothesis (H0) that describes the population parameters that the sample data represent if the predicted relationship does not exist. See Basic Statistics of the Behavioral Sciences by Heiman.

What are the problems can be solved in scientific method?
you can solve many things by doing the scientific method all you have to do is take your time it helps many people
Gathering of data and information to test the hypothesis?
The gathering of scientific information is called research.
Is it possible for all data collection to be made using the same method?
For one particular study, yes. But it is not possible for all data collection across the whole world for all purposes.
Whose work is the link between a scientific discovery and the way science is used in the world?
engineer
What was wrong with Hannah greener?
Let No Patient be Harmed by AnesthesiaBy J.S. Gravenstein, M.D.
On October 16, 1846, Dr. Morton, a dentist, gave the first public and successful anesthetic. He used diethyl ether. The operation took place in the Massachusetts General Hospital. In a matter of months, the idea of rendering patients unresponsive through the use of inhaled drugs had spread to Europe and beyond.
On January 18, 1848, Hannah Greener required the removal of a toenail, a simple operation probably performed in the "office" of the surgeon. Hannah was a 15-year-old English girl. We do not know what her surgeon told her about the hazards of anesthesia. Maybe he said nothing about anesthetic mortality because there were no statistics he might have quoted. Had he said that she had a 99% chance of surviving the anesthetic, she might have considered anesthesia extraordinarily safe. She would have had a vivid image of the excruciating pain she would have experienced during an operation without anesthesia. Alas, she was unlucky. She inhaled chloroform from a cloth. In 1/2 minute her arm became rigid. The operation started. She gave a kick and sputtered at the mouth. Breathing continued for another 1/2 minute. Two minutes from the commencement of the operation she was quite dead (Snow, J: Edinburgh Medical Journal 1849,72; 75-87). The physician administering the anesthetic had no monitors other than perhaps a finger on the pulse and whatever information he could gather by inspection of the patient. He also had little knowledge about the pharmacology of the anesthetic nor of effective methods and drugs employed for resuscitation. He had no access to experts who might have stepped in to help before it was too late.
