Biology questions!?

Question

1) What is the scientific method?

2)Distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning.

3)Explain how science and technology are interdependent.

Answer 1

google the first one....it's a lengthy process..but really simple

Deductive is when you remove choices or options to find what the answer should be...inductive is when the answer is known.

Science is found and learned through by technology while technology was formed by means of science. (electricity, magnetism...etc.)

Answer 2

wanna tution class ??????

Answer 3

before scientist approved something they test it in different ways.

scintific method is a procedure in which the reality comes out.

Answer 4

A. The Scientific Method

is an organized way of figuring something out.

There are usually six parts to it.

1. Purpose- What do you want to learn? An example would be, "Do plants grow better under different colored lights?" or "Do girls have faster reflexes than boys?"

2. Research- Find out as much as you can. Look for information in books, on the internet, and by talking with teachers to get the most information you can before you start experimenting.

3. Hypothesis- After doing your research, try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is 'educated guess'. This is usually stated like " If I...(do something) then...(this will occur)"

An example would be, "If I grow plants under green lightbulbs, then they will grow better than plants growing under red lightbulbs"

4. Experiment- The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. In our example, you would set up a plant under a green lightbulb and a plant under a red light and observe then for a couple of weeks. Also set up a plant under regular white light to compare the others to. If you are doing this for a science fair, you will probably have to write down exactly what you did for your experiment step by step.

5. Analysis- Record what happened during the experiment. Also known as 'data'.

6. Conclusion- Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct. If the plant under the green lightbulb grew better, you proved your hypothesis, if not, your hypothesis was wrong. It is not "bad" if your hypothesis was wrong, because you still learned something!

B.Inductive reasoning moves from specific details and observations (typically of nature) to the more general underlying principles or process that explains them (e.g., Newton's Law of Gravity). It is open-ended and exploratory, especially at the beginning. The premises of an inductive argument are believed to support the conclusion, but do not ensure it. Thus, the conclusion of an induction is regarded as a hypothesis. In the Inductive method, also called the scientific method, observation of nature is the authority.

Deductive reasoning typically moves from general truths to specific conclusions. It opens with an expansive explanation (statements known or believed to be true) and continues with predictions for specific observations supporting it. Deductive reasoning is narrow in nature and is concerned with testing or confirming a hypothesis. It is dependent on its premises. For example, a false premise can lead to a false result, and inconclusive premises will also yield an inconclusive conclusion. Deductive reasoning leads to a confirmation (or not) of our original theories. It guarantees the correctness of a conclusion. Logic is the authority in the deductive method.

C. Science snd technology are interdependent because they use eachother to go with the way of life.

Technology uses the life of science to make new things and science uses the life of technology to observe new things with those new instruments and devices they use.

Technology uses the life of science to make new things and science uses the life of technology to observe new things with those new instruments and devices they use.
