Experiment: At this experiment we are investigating does the temperature affect how quickly the particles diffuse to an even concentration throughout the water‚ we are going to do this experiment by using food coloring to see how quick the food coloring diffuse in hot water and cold water. Materials: • • • • • • • • One beaker Hot plate Ice Water Food coloring Thermometer Timer Eye dropper Hypothesis:I think the food coloring will spread faster‚ because the particle in the hot water have more

1–3 Methods of Research Research‚ systematic inquiry aimed at the discovery of new knowledge‚ is a central ingredient of the scientific method in psychology. It provides the key to understanding the degree to which hypotheses (and the theories behind them) are accurate. Just as we can apply different theories and hypotheses to explain the same phenomena‚ we can use a number of alternative methods to conduct research. In this exercise‚ you will learn more about several methods of research that

Due to the means of the scientific method‚ the structure of the atom and the composition of the stars‚ the mechanisms for growth‚ the cause of disease and cures or infection‚ and also the blueprint for life have all been discovered. The scientific method has many great functions that all evolve from the inquiry of a problem

NOTES BASED ON RESEARCH METHODOLOGY BY WELMAN‚ KRUGER AND MITCHELL‚ 3RD EDITION. THE AIMS OF RESEARCH Research is a process that involves obtaining scientific knowledge by means of various objective methods and procedures. The term objective indicates that these methods and procedures do not rely on personal feelings or opinions and that the specific methods are used at each stage of the research process. These methods include procedures for drawing samples (e.g. simple random sampling)‚ measuring
