WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS: A hypothesis is "a proposed explanation for a set of observations. A prediction would occur after you form a hypothesis. You would make a prediction regarding your hypothesis and then work to gather more information, test the hypothesis through experiments and this will help you determine if your hypothesis is correct and make a conclusion. An example of this might be my phone continues to die quickly despite being fully charged. My hypothesis is that my phone is dying quickly because I have a defective battery. My prediction is that replacing the battery will solve the problem. I can then test that hypothesis by replacing the battery and determine if that solves the problem.

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: DR. SEMMELWEIS’ CASE STUDY An example of the scientific method in action can be found in the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who lived in the early-to-mid-1800s. He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr.…
Based on the results depicted above, what do you conclude about your hypothesis? Give specific explanations for this conclusion. This should read like part of a discussion in a lab report, with analysis of the results and comparison back to the hypothesis.
Which of these statements are true about predictions and hypotheses? (4 are true) □ If the results of the experiment are NOT consistent with a given prediction then that hypothesis is false. O Hypotheses and predotions are the same as theories. A predictions is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. Predictions and hypotheses are the same thing. Predictions are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." O The prediction step comes before the hypothesis. Hypotheses are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." A hypothesis is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. O The prediction step comes after the hypothesis.
a) Does the data support your hypothesis? b) How could you improve this experiment? Consider the other factors you could have / should have controlled in this experiment.
The 'control group' is an essential component of an experiment. This is because 1. A control group allows one to determine if a particular result is due to the experimental variable. 2. No, it's not essential in experimentation. A control group is not always necessary it depends on the experiment. 3. A control group allows for multiple variables to be tested at the same time. 4. A control group is required for the development of a prediction.
Dr. Vanier’s daughter Lexy thinks that the snacking habit alone does not cause weight loss. She believes that one needs to combine no snacking with the elimination of carbohydrates in their meals. Please explain how Dr. Vanier may test this hypothesis by describing the research design. Specify the independent variable(s), dependent variable(s), and the name of the design. Finally, describe what she needs to find (i.e., what type of effect and what it looks like) in the experiment to support her hypothesis. ( name the IV(s); 1name the DV(s); name the design; then explain the effect that will support the hypothesis)
Figure 1.6 In the example below, the scientific method is used to solve an everyday problem. Order the scientific method steps (numbered items) with the process of solving the everyday problem (lettered items). Based on the results of the experiment, is the hypothesis correct? If it is incorrect, propose some alternative hypotheses. Observation Question Hypothesis (answer) Prediction Experiment Result There is something wrong with the electrical outlet. If something is wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won’t work when plugged into it. My toaster doesn’t toast my bread. I plug my coffee maker into the outlet. My coffeemaker works. Why doesn't my toaster work?
How could you make a prediction in Science?
I am trying to figure out these four things. What is the independent variable, what is the dependent variable, what are the controlled variables and why this experiment doesn’t use a control.
