Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 16BS
If you pay attention, you will find yourself conducting many hypothesis-driven experiments each day. Over the next day, try to think of a good example where you performed a simple experiment to test a hypothesis about some observation. Write the experience out as a story, and then rewrite it using the steps of the process of science (observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, and so on).

What are three important thing you will consider when settting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon? Explain why?
Design a (hypothetical) experiment that adheres to the Scientific Method. Be sure to include all the necessary requirements at each step and give examples at all of the steps. Start with an observation, whether it's real or made up, state the null hypothesis, and design an experiment (including an experimental and control group, random sampling, sample size, and reproducibility) that will allow the student to reject or fail to reject the hypothesis, and state (hypothetical) 'actual' results and the appropriate conclusion to draw from those results.
You observe that every time your neighbor, who always wears a yellow hat, walks out his front door, he gets dive bombed by a crow. From this observation, what is a testable hypothesis? What is your prediction based on your hypothesis? Please design an experiment to test this hypothesis and prediction. You must identify the independent and dependent variables, as well as at least 2 control variables, and your experiment must contain an experimental group and a control group

- How could you make a prediction in Science?arrow_forwardA useful hypothesis typically accomplishes these two things: Group of answer choices it is falsifiable and clear it clearly establishes a null hypothesis and it generates a testable prediction it can be easily disproved and will be considered a theory if not disproved it frames an experiment that can shed light on the observation and guides design of the experimentarrow_forwardAccording to this experiment, summarize it and be sure to address the following questions: What hypothesis was being tested? How did you test your hypothesis? What independent and dependent variables were being investigated? What controls did you use? What were possible sources of error in your experiment? Please explain how the experiment you conducted supported or failed to support the original hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Explain the process of science in your own words using 3-4 complete sentences. What is the difference between the experiment's control group and controlling for confounding variables?arrow_forwardDesign a SI modeled, detailed , yet hypothetical, biology experiment of your choice. In clear terms lay out all parameters of the experiment, including all controls and variables. Make sure that you clearly indicate where each step of the SI process applies(observation, question, hypothesis, analysis etcarrow_forwardWhy empirical evidence will benefit in completing your research project?arrow_forward
- When presenting a slide that shows experimental data you should explain the experiment that gave that data you should discuss the hypothesis being tested O you should discuss whether or not the results support or refute the hypothesis all of the abovearrow_forwardIn way science is limited in its ability to gain knowledge? What is a hypothesis? What is a theory? Why is a scientific law? What are methods of logical thinking are applied in science? What are the two important characteristics of a hypothesis? What types of variables are included in an experiment? What is the importance of including a control group in an experiment? What is the main difference between basic and applied science? How are the two related? Why is critiquing important in science? Why must scientists publish their work?arrow_forwardThe hypothetico-deductive method in science includes all of the following components except: logical deduction (from a universal rule to particular predictions), as emphasized by Aristotle designing a critical test for the hypothesis, as exemplified by Galileo’s test of falling objects unquestioning acceptance of Aristotle’s authority, as practiced by late medieval scholastics continuous testing of the hypothesis by further inquiry, as emphasized by Socrates logical induction (from particulars to universals), as emphasized by Platoarrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct order of steps of the scientific method?
