scientist use a thermometer to read temperature

Who studies crystals?

A person who studies crystals is known as a crystallographer. The study of crystal is known as crystallography which looks at the formation and development of crystals.

What information can scientists get by studying seismographs from different locations?

Each of a pair of seismic stations can determine the direction a seismic wave came from, and if that data is plotted on a map, the location where the lines cross will be the epicenter of the quake.

What technique did James Watson and Francis Crick use to find DNA's?

They figured out it was a double helix in a formation consisting of molecules made up of Nitrogen Bases, Adenine(A) Thymine(T) Guanine(G), and Cytosine(C).

They got information from Rosalind Franklin's research on DNA. The data gave Watson and Francis clues they needed for the double helix thing.

What can scientist infer from the similarties between these two structures?

We would need to know what the two structures are to respond to this question.

How many names did Carl Linnaeus give to each organism?

Two, one for the genus and one for the species. The genus is always capitalized and comes first followed by the species (not capitalized).

Why is there a need for a scientist to know the limitations of science and does it affect their credibility as a scientist?

Understanding practical and theoretical limitations can allow a scholar to carefully limit their area of expertise and research. Acknowledging limitations also allows for isolating sources of error.

How did Louis Pasteur disprove the spontaneous generation theory?

Louis broiled broth for 15 min. He then let it sit for one year in a swan neck flask. He noticed that some dust had accumulated in the top part of the flask. So he took a sample, form the broth inside the flask. He noticed that nothing was inside of growing in it. So he then preceded to shake the broth in the flask in such a way, that it would touch the dust at the top. He then took a sample from that and it was highly bacteria ridden.

The scientist must have lots of patience and the willingness to never give up to solve these problems

Why do scientists try to test large groups of subject?

To be more sure of their results. Say you are testing the effects of aspirin on heart disease. If you only tested two people (one that got aspirin and one that got a placebo) there are an enormous number of reasons why the two people could be different BESIDES getting aspirin or placebo. If you tested 1000 that got aspirin and 1000 that got placebo and the two groups differed, it should be because of the aspirin (the other possible explanations should cancel-out in such a large sample, why would all the people with the worst heart health or all the men end-up in one group?). The larger the "sample size" the more sure we will be that the effect was actually due to the aspirin. This also enables us to look not at the effect of aspirin on an individual (something that is very unstable and varies a lot from person to person) but the effect of aspirin on a GROUP. An effect that is far more stable. In general, the more variable the effects, the larger the sample you will need. Physics and Chemistry usually deal with very stable effects, so they need a small sample. Psychology, Sociology and other Social Sciences usually deal with very variable effects, so they need LOTS of people to be sure the effects they see are real. In general, the larger the sample is, the more accurate our results are. Large samples also ensure a normal distribution and other advantages for statistical testing, but these samples must be RANDOM samples or they do not mean what we think they do.

Why do all scientists all over the world use the SI unit system?

Part of the structure of science is the means to communicate unambiguously so that others can test and replicate ones work.

A single common set of units is far less likely to create confusion and error compared to a miscellany of units.

A classic of how NOT to do something is the airlines where, for political reasons, heights are in feet, distances in km, speed in knots.

None of the units are compatible with the others and there have been crashes where people have misunderstood which units the figures are being quoted in.

In any case,there is the problem of having a standard.

i.e what is a "foot" for example.

The difficulty of defining and maintaining standards is such that I believe that there is now only one set of standards in the world . SI

All other units are derived from those using conversion factors.

eg and inch is EXACTLY 2.54 cm by definition.

And a pound is EXACTLY 454 g by definition.

Thus no one needs to worry about holding standards for an inch or a pound etc.

Describe one reason why scientist might conduct research?

Because they might have to make sure they are correct

How do scientists name each type of living thing?

Every living thing gets their 'scientific name' by roots of Latin words. For example, the animal 'cat' is Felis Catus, which moth mean 'cat'.

The names are classified by the 'class' each animal is in.
