Scientific Method
The scientific Method 1. Scientific Method- scientific investigation involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and result that validates or modify the hypothesis.
Mechanist- Has belief that only natural forces govern living things, along with the rest of the universe.
Vitalist- believes that the universe is at least partially governed by supernatural powers.
Cause and effect- the idea that the one thing is the result of another thing.
Induction- is a logical process by which all known observations are combined and considered before producing a possible answer.
Deduction- is a logical process by which a prediction is produced from a possible answer to the question as.
Experimental group- treated with or possess the independent variable
Control group- that is not or does not
Independent variable- the treatment or condition under study
Dependent variable- event or condition that is measured or observed when the results are gathered.
Controlled Variable- are all other factors, which the investigator attempts to keep the same for all groups under study.
Correlation- a relationship between the independent and the dependent variables.
Theory- An opinion, a speculation or an assumption based on limited information or experience, not necessarily on facts.
Principle- a source, or origin; that from which anything proceeds; fundamental substance or energy.
Bioassay- establishes the quantity of a substance that results in a defined effective dose that is, the dose that produces a particular effect. 2. The nature of scientific knowledge gives the basic understanding of the nature of science that is occurring in the world and the reasons for its reliability. 3. Ask a question, do background research, construct a hypothesis, test your hypothesis by doing an experiment, analyze your data and draw a conclusion,
