What are the types of information that are collected during a scientific investigation?
I believe Qualitative and Quantitative observations?
How do you identify a variable in an experiment?
In an experiment, usually one item will cause something else to vary in an observable manner and sometimes predictable way.
A variable will be recognized as any factor, trait, or condition of the experiment that exists in varying amounts or types. There are independent variables, dependent variables, and controlled variables.
An independent variable is one that is changed in an experiment. In order to perform a fair and subjective test one should consider only one independent variable during their experiment. As changes are made in the quantities of our independent variable, changes should be apparent that make observations different from other quantities of the independent variable.
The focus of these observations is on the depenedent variable to see how it responds to the change made to the independent variable quantities. The new value of the dependent variable is caused by and depends on the value of the independent variable and is what we know as cause and effect.
Not to be forgotten, we have the controlled variable which is a quantity that is maintained at a constant in the experiment so as to eliminate any confusion with cause and effect observations.
Can the scientific method be used to test supernatural beliefs?
Depends. If you can somehow experiment on it, then Yes, it's possible. But the Scientific Method cannnot test "beliefs" of any sort. It can test hypotheses. So if your hypothesis is, for example, "There is extrasensory perception," you could develop a scientifically valid test of the hypothesis.
You would have to identify and control for variables and your experiment would have to be capable of duplication by other researchers. The results would have to be unambiguous, that is, not explainable by any alternate hypothesis. Hope we helped!
How are Aristotle's teaching related to the scientific method used by scientists today?
He urged people to use their sences to make observations, just as scientist today make observations
What methods did the chartists use to achieve their aims?
the chartists NEVER use violence to achieve their aims.
What are the science project steps that you put on the poster board?
On a typical science fair posterboard, you should have the following headings:
Introduction- introduce your topic, how this topic affects the world, etc.
Problem - the aim of the experiment
Hypothesis - educated guess on the outcome
Materials - materials used in the experiment
Procedure - list each step in your experiment in chronological order
(Pictures) - you really don't have to have a heading for this
Graphs - you should probably head this one
Results - results of the experiment
Conclusion - your conclusions. include applications of your results here.
Also, it would be a good idea to have a small note on the corner of your board stating that all pictures were taken by the experimenter.
What do scientists make to help them make an hypothesis or collect data durinf an experiment?
the method of a science project of earthquakes
What classifies a question as a scientific question?
A scientific question implies that you are inquiring about the world around you, and expecting a fairly precise answer. Also, if the subject matter of the question is such that it might normally concern one of the scientific disciplines, it will get classified as a science question.
What must a scientist do before writing a hypothesis?
he has to evaluate what he has found out before hand
What are the processess of the scientifc method?
Scientific Method:
1. Make an observation.
2. Ask a question.
3. Make a hypothesis.
4. Conduct an experiment.
5. Draw conclusions.
6. Share your results.
7. Do other experiments done by others agree?
8. Yes or no?
9. if no, do again.
What aseptic method can be used on living tissues?
Aseptic technique can be used on living tissues by ensuring that all equipment and surfaces are sterile to prevent contamination. This includes using sterile instruments, wearing gloves, and maintaining a clean environment to minimize the risk of introducing pathogens during procedures such as surgeries or tissue biopsies.
How does scientific method relate to evolution?
The theory of evolution and inheritance of traits was worked out using the scientific method. The initial work in this area was done in the 1800's by a priest named Gregor Johann Mendel who worked with peas. He worked out the laws governing the espression of dominant and recessive genes, although at the time he didn't know what was responsible.
Evolution is simply a process of natural selection of traits that have some sort of advantage. In hot climates with lots of sunshine, dark skin has an advantage. In nothern climates, light skin has an advantage because in nature, sunlight makes us manufacture vitimin D. If a dark skinned person moved from Africa to Norway, and didn't eat the correct foods, they would suffer from a vitimin D deficiency because their skin color reduced the affect of sunlight on their ability to produce vitimin D. So in a northern climate, light skin is and advantage and left undisturbed for a few centuries, the population would tend to become fair skinned blonds.
In Africa, fair skin is a problem because it sinburns easily and light skinned people tend to develop skin cancer if they do not protect themselves. So in equatorial climates, dark skin is an advantage and left undesturbed for a few centuries, a population would tend to become dark skinned and dark haired.
This is the way evolution typically works. In some cases, there are changes in the genetic makup of an individual that makes him/her more successful. This is called a mutation. Most mutations are fatal but some are advantageous. For example, humans have a mutation that reduces the strength of our muscles compared to our other primate relatives. If we had very strong muscles like chimps and gorillas, we would need a bonny crest on the top of our skull to anchor our jaw muscles. Since our jaw muscles are weak, we can anchor them to the side of our skull and this allows for a larger brain case. This is an advantage and the individual that first had that mutation now has decendants everywhere on earth. Other mutations make it possible for some groups to eat diary foods while others cannot. A mutation that provides protection from malaria to black people is also responsible for cicle cell enimia - and example of a mutation that offers both and advantage and a disadvantage.
The scientific method relates to evolution because that is how the natural laws were discovered. In the scientific method, we look at evidence and we come up with a theory to explain it. Then we look for things that the theory predicts but which we have not yet observed. If these things are found, then the confidence in the theory is strengthened. If these things are not found or if things that the theory says cannot happen are observed, then the theory is wrong and we come up with a new one that explains the new observations as well. When we come to a point where we have a theory that fits all of the data and isn't contradicted by evidence, then we use that theory as if it were true. In some cases it is and in some cases it isn't. For example, Newtons laws work for objects that are not moving very fast relative to each other but we know that the these laws are not true because they break down at high speeds approaching the speed of light. We have much better theory that explains the observations made at high speeds called relativity. The same applies to evolution.
Must the scientific method always be followed by researchers?
Yes. Nine times out of ten that is how an outcome is determined. But, sometimes they may perfer to do things in a differernt way, order, or style to see the many different outcomes. The Scientific Method is always the way to go.
What are some assumption of the scientific method?
steps: 1. ask a question 2. form a hypothesis 3 test hypothesis 4. analyze results 5. draw conclusion 6. communicate results
What are the parts of the Trager method?
The Trager method consists of two parts, a passive aspect referred to as tablework and an active aspect called Mentastics, which is a self-care exercise program.
What does the Tomatis method involve?
The Tomatis method involves the client using special headphones with bone and air conduction to listen to electronically recorded music frequencies. These are believed to open the brain to greater frequencies of sound.
Can you control inside temperature of bulb when it is glowing.?
I hope temp inside the bulb can be control by varying the input voltage and monitoring it be Infra red thermometer. But it may possible that illumination of bulb get affected.
Why does scientific method include a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is an important part of the scientific process because it is the initial generation of a proposed explanation for a natural phenomenon and can be tested by experiments.
What is a hypothesis variable?
A hypothesis is not a variable...it is something that you think will happen based on reasoning and observations, before doing an experiment.
