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.

Are Trial and error is discouraged in science because it wastes time?

Yes. Blind (without hypothesis) experimenting, while occasionally producing useful data, is normally a real time waster. This is because data obtained from blind experimenting almost always requires a rigorous confirmation process anyway, before it can be used in scientific work.

What is a controlled experimental group in a controlled experiment and why is it important?

Any scientific experiment you undertake should include a 'control group' and an 'experimental group'. The control group is used to compare the affect on the experimental group after the experiment has ended.

Say for example you wish to test the physical affect of a new moisturizer you recently invented on your dry skin. You may apply the moisturizer to your left leg once daily. This makes your left leg the 'experimental group' [of cells], while your right leg, which has not received any of the new moisturizer is the 'control group' [of cells]. After some period of time you compare your left leg to your right leg and draw a conclusion about how well your product worked. If you applied the moisturizer to both legs it would be more difficult to compare the affect of the treatment.

How is energy manufactured?

Right now, coal and nuclear plants are the main sources of power. There are currently many efforts to shift this to renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy, solar energy, etc.

The main reason for why renewable energy sources are currently not the main source is because their output cannot be adjusted during peak hours or other times of higher demand. In many cases, renewable energy plants are more expensive to operate as well. As for non-renewable energy sources, coal and nuclear plants can simply adjust their output during peak hours. The wind may die down or a storm may block the sun during peak hours, reducing the effectiveness of renewable power.

Why Should Scientists Use the Scientific Method?

2. Create a hypothesis

3. Create an experiment/collect data

4. Analyze Data

5. Conclusion

What is hypithesis?

A Hypothesis is the part of the scientific method, in which you would commonly use the If......then.....formula to project a statement that you will be testing/proving throughout any experiment.

How does science relate to things people do everyday?

you use a computer right? and paper, and cars, and planes, and so on? without science we would still be grubbing in the mud. even simple things like spears are really a technology. science and engineering create our world.
