Assignment 1.03 Scientific Method
Answer the following questions about science, pseudoscience, and the scientific method.
Part I: Scientific Method
1 What is the difference between science and pseudoscience? Real science looks at all available data makes theories and tests them. Pseudoscience is where determinations of what we want or desire is made and we take leftover information to prove this conclusion
2 What is the scientific method? a method of procedure that has made natural science
Part II: Science or Pseudoscience
Answer the following questions about the balancing video. They will guide you and help you determine if the balancing egg is science or pseudoscience. You may need to go back to the introduction page of this lesson and watch the video again to help you answer these questions.
3 Describe the observation/question that was used in the egg balancing video. If there is not one, write an observation/question that could be used.
Will the egg balance during the equinox?
4 Describe the hypothesis that was used in the egg balancing video. If there is not one, write a hypothesis that could be used.
Can the egg balance during this equinox without falling over?
5 Describe the experiment that was used in the egg balancing video. If there is not one, write an experiment that could be used.
The experiment was to try and see if the egg would balance during the equinox without tipping over which worked.
6 Describe the data that was analyzed in the egg balancing video. If there is not any, describe how this could be done.
The data analyzed was that the egg could be balanced during the equinox.
7 Describe the conclusion that was used in the egg balancing video. If there is not one, write a conclusion that could be used.
The conclusion was that the egg was able to balance during the equinox.
8 Did the balancing egg video retest the experiment? If it did, describe the retest.
Yes each of them retested it three times.
