The scientific method is described as “curious‚ skeptical‚ and humble.” (Meyers‚ 13) The definition of curiosity is defined by Merriam-Webster as “A strong desire to know or learn something.” The definition of skeptical is “not easily convinced; having doubts or reservations.” And humble defined as “having or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance.” When it comes to the scientific attitude‚ these three qualities are crucial in order to make groundbreaking and reliable discoveries

01.03 Scientific Method Scenerio 2 1. The specific independent variable in Katherine’s investigation would be the amount of sunlight each plant will recieve‚ and the specific dependent variables would be the time of day and the water. 2. Five controlled variables in this investigation would be where she would place the plants‚ the type of plant she will use‚ the type of water she uses for each plant‚ the amount of water she uses per plant and the exact times she waters the plants in a day.

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

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

| 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

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
