Scientific Method

Developing a plan

2 Psychology

Do you instruct family and associates not to give strangers information about you or your family? Do you avoid giving unnecessary personal details to anyone? Do you only give out information about family travel plans or security measures and procedures to those with a need to know? Do you closely monitor family internet acquaintances?

my gess is analyze data or support a hypothesis probly support Ifk

This refers to the Scientific Method, a several-step method used to intentionally search for an answer.

Although details vary, one version of the method is the following:

1. Find a problem.

2. Reseach the problem.

3. Suggest a solution (also called a hypothesis).

4. Test the solution/hypothesis.

5. Look at the results (meaning, ask yourself, 'Did I solve the problem?')

6. Adjust your solution, and retest as necessary.

A. Gasoline is the best fuel for transportation needs.

B. Smell of gasoline is very unpleasant.

C. gasoline and diesel fuel release the same amount of energy as they are burned.

D. Will I get better mileage with premium gasoline than with regular gasoline

ok

hehehe

Never Ever use personal pronouns in a essay or a hypothesis :)

Beaker tongs allow you to transport a hot beaker from one location to another. They are frequently used in chemistry. They are a grasping device consisting of two arms that are joined, often at one end, as by a pivot or a scissor like hinge.

Right now the scientific method is the most accurate, reliable and understandable way we have of examining the physical universe. There may be parts of it that cannot account for certain phenomenon, but until we come up with something better there's no way to identify and eliminate any flaws. To date the only drawback that's been identified in the scientific method is that it has shown no justification for the existence of religious fundamentalists.

Some ideas for science fair projects are:

Experiment:

You can get 4 bottles and 4 balloons. Put yeast, sugar, and water in one bottle. In the second bottle, put yeast and sugar. In the third, put yeast and water. In the fourth, put just yeast. Then, put a balloon on the top of each bottle.

This is an experiment to see which balloon will go up higher. The more the balloon inflates, the better the yeast is working.

Experiment:

This experiment is about the bone matrix in a bone. This matrix is composed of principally of two things: collagen (kahl' uh jin) and minerals.

What the vinegar does is break down the minerals so that there is only collagen left. This makes the bone very bendy almost like rubber.

If this was what humans were made of you would be a giant rubber human!

But if you had only minerals in your bone, your bones would break even with the slightest bump!

Supplies:

An uncooked chicken bone (preferably a wishbone or wing)

A jar with a lid

Vinegar (preferably white)

Procedure:

1.Clean the bone of all the meat and tendons. Make it as bare as possible

2. Allow the bone to dry overnight.

3. The next day, test the bone by trying to gently bend it. But don't break it.

4. Fill the jar with enough white vinegar to cover the top of the bone.

5. Gently put the bone in the jar.

6. After about 1 day pull the bone out of the vinegar and test it. Do this for 7 days. Please take some pictures for your presentation. (use some water proof gloves if you don't want to touch it.)

7. Write down the difference you observe each time in a note book. With a picture if you want.

8. Put the bone back in the jar

9. Once the 7 days are done pour the vinegar out of the jar and into the drain. and clean up your mess.

Experiment:

You will need:

five friends: Choose ones who don't have diabetes for this

sugar solution (sugar dissolved in water). There is a premade solution doctors use when they test people to see if they have diabetes, but in your case you can just use Kool-Aid. Make it from the kind you add your own sugar to, and use one cup of sugar per two quart pitcher. Give each person one eight-ounce glass of it.

away to do glucose testing.If you have lots of money, get a blood testing machine, lancets, and alcohol swabs. You can also get a couple bottles of Clinistix urine test strips and paper cups: They're less expensive and you don't have to jab yourself in the fingers over and over to get blood samples. If you have a friend who is diabetic and will let you borrow her machine, all you'll need is the little test strips that go in it, plus the lancets and swabs.

rubber gloves, because you should never do medical testing unless you wear gloves.

a television

Before you start, go to the doctor with your testing method and ask her how to use it right because you're doing a science project about blood glucose testing. She will teach you to use it.

Google "oral glucose tolerance test" and perform that twice on two separate days. On the first day, after you drink the Kool-Aid everyone sits and watches television. On the second, you drink the Kool-Aid, take one test, then everyone walks around the block for an hour and takes another test.

Inductive reasoning was used in the development of evolutionary theory.

give each criterion a weight

by reviewing whats is already known

The Scientific Method is a method followed to make experiment results repeatable, as multiple people can do the same experiment and get the same answer, making the experiment reliable. It is a base for proving the results are correct. If it was not used, people would go back to less organized science, like Aristotalian science (he claimed the sun revolved around the earth, and was believed over other scientists with the correct view because he was popular, before the scientific method's creation).

1. State the problem

2. Propose an outcome

3. Gather Data

4. Make a Conclusion

being able to evaluate scientific information

The steps to the scientific method as it is today. 1) Ask a scientific question.

What is that growing in the yard?

2) Make observations. -For example: Your 5 senses. Hearing, feeling, tasting, sight, and smell.

3) Gather information. -Make a list of all the places you could gather information for a scientific question.

4) Form a Hypothesis. -What you think the outcome of the Experiment will be.

5)Experiment. -Controlled experiment: only one variable is being changed/ manipulated at a time.

-Control: is the part of an experiment that is standard against which results are compared.

-Dependent Variable: is the condition in the experiment that is being tested. (is the variable that you would be measuring)

-Independent Variable: is the variable that is being changed/ manipulated in the experiment.

-Constant: any variable that remains the same for all experimental groups.

6) Collect Data. -Numerical data is often displayed in a chart.

7) Analyze Data. -Graph your results.

8) Draw a conclusion. -Compare your results to your Hypothesis.
