Robust Knowledge is the information related to any discipline, which has been proven and cannot be disproved, but is still part of the debate and criticized by others. Everyone obtains knowledge from different sources, which is known as Shared Knowledge in the Theory of Knowledge world, for example: learning a language. As time has progressed, the human brain is also evolving because of which the knowledge assembled in the past is now becoming part of the argumentation. When an academic work gets honoured, or criticized by the examiners then by proceeding …show more content…
Robert Towneley and Henry measured air pressure through different altitudes by using a barometer. They wrote a book after conducting this scientific method, but their book did not publish. Therefore, Robert shared the experiment and end draft of the book with Boyle. Boyle tested the same hypothesis by applying different method to find out the relationship between two variables (volume and pressure). The Boyle’s law was considered as a deduction because in the past this experiment was conducted by Evangelista Torricelli and it was about the barometric …show more content…
Pursuit of knowledge and imagination are directly proportional, it increases when a person is able to visualize the concept. If the scientist is not able to predict the possible outcomes of the experiment through imagination, and then the investigation could possibly be pointless. Consider a common example of Sir Issac Newton, when he was sitting under the tree an apple fell on his head and he started thinking about the concept of gravity. He imagined the concept and supported it through reasoning. If he did not visualize the concept of the gravity in reality, then the perspective would be unlike. Similarly, in IB DP Biology Individual Investigation, I assumed that one-minute jumping jack cardio exercise will have an impact on the blood composition of either male or female. The composition in natural sciences is dissimilar from the Arts. It means the change in the percentage. Terminology can also be the reason in creation of disagreement. After the experimentation, I found that the impact of the exercise is neutral in both genders. The results I imagined before the experimentation increased my pursuit of knowledge. Students learn concepts through shared knowledge in the area of natural sciences. The imagination and concepts in natural sciences arrive through shared knowledge. The concepts in the natural sciences were developed by the well-known scientists. The concepts are robust knowledge,
