|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | Principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
🗑

| Hypothesis | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A phenomenon about which competent observers who have made a series of observations are in agreement.
🗑
|

| Law | show 🗑

| show | Pinhole images of the sun, where light shines through openings in the leaves that are small compared with the distance to the ground below. A round spot 5 centimeters in diameter, for example, is cast by an opening that is 110 x 5 cm above ground.

| Outline the steps of the classic scientific method. | show 🗑
|

| Scientific Method #1 Observe | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Make an educated guess--a hypothesis--that might resolve the puzzle.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Predict consequences of the hypothesis
🗑
|
||||
| show | Do experiments or make calculations to test the predictions
🗑
|
||||
| Scientific Method #5 Draw a Conclusion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A fact is a close agreement by competent observers who make a series of observations about the same phenomenon. When a hypothesis has been tested over and over again and has not been contradicted, it may become known as a law or principle
🗑
|
||||
| show | an educated guess that is only presumed to be factual until supported by experiment.
🗑
|
||||
| show | In everyday speech, , a theory is no different from a hypothesis (supposition not been verified). A scientific theory is a synthesis of a large body of info that encompasses well-tested & verified hypotheses about certain aspects of the natural world.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The refinement of theories is a strength, not weakness. Competent scientists change their minds only when confronted with solid experimental evidence or when a conceptually simpler hypothesis forces them to a new point of view.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Look to see if there is a test for proving it wrong. If there is no test for its possible wrongness, then the hypothesis is not scientific.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A discredited scientist does not get a second chance in the community of scientist. The penalty for fraud is professional excommunication.
🗑
|
||||
| show | B certain u understand objections & positions of your most articulate antagonists. Find out if your views r supported by sound knowledge of opposing ideas or by your misconceptions of opposing ideas. continued......

| Cite a reason for encouraging students of the arts to learn about science, and for encouraging science students to learn about the arts. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Why do many people believe they must choose between science and religion? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Psychological comfort is a benefit of having solid answers to religious questions. What benefit accompanies a position of not knowing the answers? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Science is concerned w gathering knowledge & organizing it. Technology lets us use that knowledge for practical purposes and provides tools neded by scientists in their further explorations.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The concepts of physics reach up to more complicated sciences.
🗑
