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.

The Pimsleur method refers to a way of learning foreign languages. If you listen to his recordings for 30 minutes during 10 days, he claims you can learn the basics of a foreign language. He claims that studying vocabulary or grammar goes against the natural path to learning a language. Like a child, we should absorb the language, as opposed to cramming it in our brains.
What is at the heart of the scientific method in all sciences?
Experimentation is at the heart of the scientific method. Any scientist begins with the observation of natural phenomena, hypothesizes what may account for such phenomena, tests the hypotheses by manipulating some aspect of nature that can be controlled, and measures the result against the state of affairs when no such manipulation is implemented. In this way, hypotheses that do not match nature's laws are falsified when the independent variables manipulated do not account for predictable results. The falsifiability of hypotheses is the hallmark of science. Without experimentation, there is no science.
Once there is an experimental finding that seems to demonstrate some understanding of how nature works, the results are communicated so that others may confirm or deny the reliability of the hypotheses now bolstered by evidence. This limits the probability that experimental results occurred by chance or were the outcome of human error. Thus, another important feature of science is replication. Any method used in any field of science must be reproduced by independent observers in order to be useful.
What is Peer debriefing in qualitative research?
seek to understand the world through the perspectives of others.
What is the purpose of using the scientific method?
to make careful observations
(got this off a study guide at school haha)
What is a description of the sequence scientific method?
The sequence of the scientific method moves in this way: Purpose > Research > Hypothesis > Experimentation > Analysis > Conclusion

The efficient market hypothesis deals primarily with?

What is an example of Discovery Science?
Jane Goodall's study of wild chimpanzees is a example of discovery science
What are two reasons why density is a useful property for identifying substances?
Density is specific for each substance. Also the measurement is generally simple.
What skills are needed to use the scientific method?
1) A little knowledge in your area of interest, and the resources to get more knowledge as you need it; 2) A great deal of curiosity. Then, it's a matter of getting the hang of thinking in terms of dependent and independent variables, and how you are going to set up your investigation. Just GO with it; mistakes and wrong turns are part of the process (within reason... you don't want to spend time and fortunes attempting to prove that the earth is a globe...)
Substances that dissolve in water?
substances that dissolve in water include, sugar, salt and others.
Can a scientific law have an exception?
No. No exceptions whatsoever. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a Law.
The position of the stimulating electrode is what contributes to the latent period. The further away the stimulus is from the Central Nervous System, the longer the latent period will be.
a prediction about outcome that is predited. Such as weather forecast
