The Scientific Method This find out what the six unknown substances are I test each substance by using six different methods. After making my hypothesis‚ the six methods I used to see if I was correct where color‚ texture‚ shape‚ smell‚ soluble‚ and density. My results show that I was correct on three substances and unsure on the other three. The purpose of this experiment was to find out the identity of six substances by using the steps of the scientific method. This method will show me the

Algae blooms are due to a rapid increase of algae and too much nitrogen in the water. From this information‚ I can deduce that there is a runoff problem from one or more of the farms where fertilizer

1a.) WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY? The Scientific Inquiry is the route by which scientists ask questions‚ develop and carry out investigations‚ make predictions‚ gather evidence and suggest explanations. b.)NAME SOME IDEAS ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD THAT HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME BECAUSE OF NEW OBSERVATIONS. The idea of the earth being flat and that the earth was the center of the universe was proved inaccurate by one of the world’s greatest scientist: Galileo Galilei. By studying and making observations

Commentary on Cronbach’s ‘The Two Disciplines of Scientific Psychology’ In this paper Lee Cronbach delivers his visionary presidential address to the American Psychological Association (APA)‚ calling for the unification of experimental and correlational psychology in which he argued that psychology continues to this day to be limited by the dedication of its investigators to one or the other method of inquiry rather than to scientific psychology as a whole. He discusses the two streams on branches

PART I: SCIENTIFIC METHOD Scenario 1 Step 1: Observation Upon observation that the lights do not turn on when the light switch is turned to the “on” position‚ and also using the natural light coming in through the open front door‚ I observe the light switch is intact and nothing is out of place. I realize further research is necessary to determine the cause of the lights remaining off. This is an everyday situation perfect for the scientific method so after observation‚ it is on to the next

concludes that a perceived problem does not actually exist. Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literature and/or data‚ or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers‚ employees‚ management or competitors‚ and more formal approaches through in-depth interviews‚ focus groups‚ projective methods‚ case studies or pilot studies. The Internet allows for research methods that are more interactive in nature. For example‚ RSS feeds efficiently

When (if ever) should we trust our senses to give us truth? If there is an answer to this question the logical process would be to analyse the critical parts and define key area’s within the argument; and then begin the process to create a logically structured argument that can act as our response or answer (but to what level of certainty?). Our senses are based on our perception‚ our ability to use our combined senses to understand and interact with our environment. Using information from our
