What instrument is used to measure the volume of a liquid?

Cylinder

After watching the trend of bear growth for several weeks and comparing notes with other people, what generalization was the island researcher able to make about his own observations?

On Friday's peak it compromised a response by the effect of one's day of intercourse.

What change occurred in people's attitude to bring about the new age? (Renaissance 13th Century)

What is a control in a scientific experiment?

Control is the rule of observation through an explanation by observation and determine it's purpose.

How did you determine the volume of the block of wood?

Fill a cup of water to "x" milliliters, submerge the block of wood, note new level of milliliters, calculate the difference.

Why is skepticism considered desirable in the scientific community?

Forces participants to be extremely careful in the public statements of their findings. Promotes thinking and further study. "Why" welcomes study & experimentation.

What was the initial observation that triggered the curiosity of the island research scientist and led to the published paper?

His initial phenomena observation began with observing his beard clippings from his electric razor and weigh them.

Why is it important that scientists make observations over a long period of time before they make any public statement about what they have seen?

In order to be safe they wait it out to make their generalizations become explained and to determine it's hypothesis.

What is the first component of the Scientific Method?

OBSERVING

Why is skepticism a desirable characteristic in the science community?

Regarding skepticism you need to be careful while doing experiments and to be able to prove that an observation is true. Skepticism removes it's problems in the opposite method. To prove to the community or consider it rejected.

Why do scientists agree that only events that can be observed repeatedly are in the real of science?

Science is not able of making strong facts involving miracles, religion, or in God. Science is saying that they don't exist.

Three factors that contributed to the lack of scientific investigation during 500 AD-1500 AD

Three factors that were lacked were looking, thinking, and questioning all answers were found in the book.

Why would it also be important to seek other individuals in similar situations to see whether or not the same patterns were demonstrated in their cases?

To compare and contrast in order to be able to find a solution from observation.

What was the general pattern he observed in the daily growth of his beard?

To define his observation based on his beard clipping and weigh them in a sexual activity.

Measuring cup with ____ milliliters of water

Volume 50 milliliters

Did the scientist set up a controlled experiment in which variables were introduced to verify his hypothesis?

Yes, he tries to figure out a plausible explanation for what's going on. A tentative explanation or educated guess is called a Hypothesis.

What is the Scientific Method?

Scientific Method is the systematic approach to problem solving.

Why are only events that are observed repeatedly considered to be in the realm of science?

Scientific events must be measurable and naturally occurring. They must have facts to support them and be explainable and testable.

deci =

1/10 of the unit 10 times smaller

centi =

1/100 of the unit 100 times smaller

milli = centi = deci =

1/1000 of the unit 1/100 of the unit 1/10 of the unit

1 centimeter = ____ millimeters

10 millimeters

deca = hecto = kilo =

10 times the unit 100 times the unit 1000 times the unit

Define Control:

A treatment without the active ingredient (either no treatment or a placebo treatment) that is imposed on the subjects (in experiment or study)

Define Hypothesis

An idea or explanation that can then be tested with research & experimentation

Which step of the scientific method involves measurement?

Observation

Scientific Method- 5 basic principles

Observation (many) measure, study, trade, determine pattern Generalization Hypothesis Experimentation (with controls) Communication

How do science and religion differ from each other?

Science relies on facts & test results to reach a conclusion..

Why do we say that the scientific method should not be focused on questions of religion such as whether or not God exists?

Scientific Method is based from right or wrong it's hypothesis can not be experimented and science can't say anything about God. Science existence about God is not supported.

The Beard Experiment - explain

The event was measurable but lacked a control group to be considered a true and conclusive result

Explain how an experiment to test the effectiveness of Vitamin C could be set up with controls.

The experiment is set up into two groups of one that takes the Vitamin C and as the other will not.

What was the hypothesis being tested by the experiment?

The experiment was tested from the bear growth and how it's related to sexual activity.

What was the experiment?

The experiment was to observe the bear growth in a week and determine it's changes.

Define hypothesis

The explanation of hypothesis is Observation.

State the role of hypothesis formation in the scientific process.

The role of hypothesis formation is to make enough observations in order to make a statement.
