What is a forensic scientists?

A forensic scientist is a scientist who analyzes biological, chemical, or physical samples taken into evidence during a criminal investigation. It's their work to provide the proof the police need to bring the case to court.


Also Forensic scientists examine contact trace materials associated with crimes in order to provide evidence for criminal investigations. The work is usually dealt with under three sections: biology, chemistry and drugs/toxicology.


They can use parts of the victim's body, usually the bones, to identify: the cause of death; the gender, ethnicity, age, height of the victim; and, how long the victim has been dead.

Why did many Scientists believe science and religion could exist the same time?

There are scientists who still believe this to be possible. There has really been no clear evidence to indicate that they are mutually exclusive. Only opinions, assumptions and conjecture that varies depending on the scientist you are talking to. There has been nothing discovered by science that would indicate there not being an intelligent designer. There have, however, been many discoveries that do point convincingly to intelligent design.

How big is lake Volta?

The Lake Volta is a man-made lake. Created after the River Volta was dammed at the Akosombo gorge.

Lake Volta from space....

The lake is in Ghana and is the biggest in the world but the forth biggest by water volume.

The lake was formed by the Akosombo Dam, which began in 1961 and completed in 1965.

Because of the formation of Lake Volta, about 78,000 people were forced to move to new towns and villages, along with 200,000 animals belonging to them. About 120

buildings were destroyed.

It has a storage space of 124,000,000 acre-feet of water, Lake Volta It is about 250 miles (400 km) long and covers 3,283 square miles (8,502 square km), or 3.6 percent of Ghana's area....

All i can say is damnn!! lool x :P leaning bout it in humanities so i should know....

How can you think and act like a scientist?

Here are some ways that scientists think and act:

  • Observe - pay attention to what's going on around you, both nearby and far away
  • Be mindful - notice what your senses are telling you about the world
  • Ask questions - be curious about what's going on and why it's happening
  • Make guesses - imagine what the answers to your questions might be
  • Experiment - try to get information that would show you whether your guesses are right or not
  • Keep an open mind - let the information speak for itself instead of deciding ahead of time what the "right" answer is going to be and ignoring the information

Two of them would be the Nobel laureates, Norman Borlaug and Thomas Cech, agricultural scientist and chemist respectively, from the wikipedia list of people from Iowa.

Why is it important to test predictions?

What distinguishes science from irrational belief is that scientific theories must be falsifiable. Falsifiability requires testing predictions which are made using scientific theory. A prediction that checks out adds support to the theory whereas a prediction that does not check out means that either the theory is faulty and needs modification (or scrapping), or that the theory was not used properly in making the prediction.

List of theoretical physicists with their contributions?

The list of theoretical physicists throughout history is countless. Robert Oppenheimer helped develop the atomic bomb. A few of the most notable are listed. Albert Einstein developed the Theory of Relativity. Blaise Pascal did important work in the areas of fluids, pressure, and vacuums. Sir Isaac Newton developed theories in motion and mechanics. Max Planck developed the quantum theory. Werner Heisenberg developed the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

What are the differences between a forensic scientist and a CSI forensic scientist?

A Forensic Scientist and A Csi Forensic scientist are the same there is no change in what you do. The only change is where you work.

How did Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla improve the design of dynamos for streetcar lines?

Tesla's design varied from that of Faraday in two major ways. First, he used a magnet that was bigger in diameter than the disk so that the magnet completely covered the disk. Second, he divided the disk into sections with spiral curves radiating out from the center to the outside edge. Edison had nothing to do with this invention and in the other side of the coin, Frank Julian Sprague improved designs for a spring-loaded trolley pole.

How do you memorize science lessons about scientists?

An easy way to memorize any subject is to make it meaningful and, well, memorable! For example, think back to the first day of school. You didn't know anyone, but had to learn names, what they liked/disliked, what they enjoyed/hated, etc.

It's the same with learning biographical (life) information about any famous person. Like your best friend at school, at first you only know the famous person's name. But, information can include a birth date (and death date), where the person lived, what they did in life (their likes), and whether they got any awards for their work.

Try to have an imaginary conversation with the "subject", in this example a famous scientist. Ask him/her questions (hint: use questions for the facts you must learn). Imagine the scientist telling you about his newest discovery and when he made that discovery.

Write a (pretend) letter to the scientist-- you won't mail the letter, it's just a learning method. Ask him all the same questions for the facts you need to remember. Now, pretend that you are the scientist who just received this letter full of questions. As you pretend to be the scientist, write a reply that answers all the questions! Use your book or notes to look up the right answer so you (playing the scientist) can answer the letter. Now, you have a letter with the specific questions, and a letter with the answers. Use both to study for tests.

An important key to learning is to make it fun! Think of different ways you (or you with your friends) can learn facts without it being boring. For example, two or three friends can write and act out a play about a famous person or events in history.

Did Albert Einstein go to a Catholic elementary school?

Albert Einstein received three years of Catholic schooling as a child at the Petersschule in Munich (1885-1888). He must have been present at Holy Mass at least 30 times. His whole life was consumed with the study of the mystery of light and its role in a grand unifying theory. He never found it! Or did he?

E = MCC

or

E = MC^2

Eucharist (energeia)= Mass (on the day of rest) x (Mystery of Light-Consecration of the Body) x (Mystery of Light -Consecration of the Blood)

yes, but not for a long time. He only attended a Catholic school when he lived his childhood in Germany

Who was the famous Hungarian scientist why?

Edward Teller, the physicist, is the one that springs to my mind because he is associated with the hydrogen bomb. For others see the wikipedia list of physicists or various other lists of scientists.

Why did Aristotle's classification system become less useful?

Aristotle's classification of animals grouped together animals with similar characters into genera and then distinguished the species within the genera. He also divided animals in a 2-group and 3-group system. The 2 group system was blood and bloodless and the three group system was in terms of their movement: walking, flying and swimming (land, air or water). As can be seen such a system is too simple to classify the amount of animals we have today and so Aristotle's system became less useful. Just think for a moment, with a system so simple how would the millions of microorganisms found today be classified?
