Nicole Whaley BIO-220 May 7‚ 2012 Chris Traasdahl Scientific Method Matching Exercise Resource 1. Observe. A scientist observes that a pond adjacent to an industrial plant has heavier algae growth than ponds farther away (G). I chose this as an example of observation because the sentence explains in detail how the scientist first gathered the idea to for conducting the experiment. 2. Ask a question. A scientist wonders if the waste water emitted from an industrial plant is accelerating

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

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

Chapter 1 Scientific Method: (4 & 5 are combined) 1. Observe Closely observe the physical world around you. 2. Question Recognize a question or a problem. 3. Hypothesize Make an educated guess—a hypothesis—to answer the question. Must be able to be proven rright or wrong(false or true). 4. Predict Predict consequences that can be observed if the hypothesis is correct. The consequences should be absent if the hypothesis is not correct. 5. Test predictions Do experiments to see if the consequences

| Scientific Method and the Problem-Solving Approach | Writing Assignment 2 | 3/25/2012 | Scientific Method and the Problem-Solving Approach My hypothesis for the small amount of information would be the reason for the fewer fish and higher amount of algae may be due to algae blooms. 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

that unknowns #1‚ #2 and #3 are identified correctly. I am certain due to the qualitative data I collected during my observations. Sight‚ smell and texture were the determining factors. C. One of the most important and unique steps in the scientific method is the ability to create a new hypothesis if your results do not support your original ideas. What areas in your life‚ other than in science class‚ do you think this type of step would be helpful? Explain your answer. I believe that life in

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
