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.

Differences between chemical and physical properties?
In a physical change of matter, no new substances are formed. However, physical properties such as size, shape, color, or phase may change. Dissolving, melting, evaporating and grinding are examples of physical change.
As a result of chemical change, one or more new substances with new and different properties are formed. The new substances are different from the original substance. Burning and the rusting of iron are examples of chemical change.
What are the ten steps for making a scientific method?
1. Understand the Problem
2. Collect Information
3. Form a Hypothesis
4. Test Hypothesis
5. Keep Accurate Record
6. Check Results
7. Repeat Experiment
8. Confirm Conclusion
9. Communicate Results
10. List New Problems that Arise

What is a Qualitative Inference?
Qualitative Inference is a term used to discus the idea of conceptually moving or 'inferring' between distinct cases or settings.
What did Francis Bacon help to develop?
Francis Bacon helped to develop the scientific method. The scientific method is composed of 5 different steps with the first step being to ask a question.
From the online dictionary:
1 a : to give a particular shape to : shape or mold into a certain state or after a particular model <form the dough into a ball> formed along republican lines> b :to arrange themselves in
2 : to give form or shape to :FASHION , CONSTRUCT
3 : to serve to make up or constitute : be an essential or basic element of
4 : DEVELOP , ACQUIRE<form a habit>
5 : to arrange in order : DRAW UP
6 a : to assume an inflection so as to produce (as a tense) <forms the past in -ed> b : to combine to make (a compound word) cipline formed by classical education>

What step of the scientific method immediately follows state the problem?
The following step would be to collect data and make observations, so that a hypothesis can be formed.
How is a theory different from a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a guess in what you think it is a theory is a fact and someone already proved it in the past.
What is an example of an independent variable?
a kind of example is the amount of sunlight
* * * * *
No it is not!
The amount of sunlight given out by the sun depends on solar activity. It will be hugely greater in around 4.5 billion years when the sun becomes a red giant.
The amount of sunlight incident on some point depends on the location of that point. Somewhere on Mercury will get a lot more sunlight than on Neptune! Also even if you restrict yourself to points on the earth, there are differences between latitudes, the time of year, cloud cover and so on.
Even something that is apparently as independent of everything else, such as time, is not quite that independent. Gravity affects it.
An independent variable is determined not by the variable itself but by the context of the "experiment". It is (or they are) variable(s) that affect the dependent variables but are not affected by them. An independent variable in one experiment may be the dependent variable in another.
For example:
age and height of people: I would say that age is independent and height is dependent.
height and membership of basketball team: I would say height is independent and membership is dependent.
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
How did exploration contribute to the scientific revolution?
exploration would have helped in many ways for example look at the arctic that is how scientist know about global warming plus magnetic fields after that their are many other things that help look at geographers their job is to understand the landscape that later can help many scientist
What are three types of chemical reactions?
The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.
Why does the color of light affect plant growth?
the color of light does affect plants growth because the plant absorbs certain types of wavelengths of light
