If my car didn't start I would make sure the wheel is not in lock and it's in park. If it's turning over I would give it a little gas to see if that would help being that it's really cold out. If it didn't turn over I would then call my dad and do what he tells me. If I really had to be somewhere I would call up one of my guy friends who live on campus and they could come take a look at it. If I really had to be somewhere I would either walk or not go.
What is the Scientific Method, explain the process and steps?
The steps of the scientific method are to:
The scientific method consists of collecting data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
- Ask a Question - observation and description of a phenomenon or phenomena. Ask a question you are trying to answer
- Do Background Research - some research on how you think the answer to your question may be
- Construct a Hypothesis - formulate a hypothesis to explain the phenomena.
- Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment - performance of experiemental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.
- Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion - what happened in your experiment? Did it go with or against your hypothesis? What could you do different next time?
- Communicate your results
Relate the scientific process to the experiment that you performed on surfaces and liquids
When thinking about the experiment that I did last night, it aligned with the scientific method very well. When I was putting liquids and surfaces together I thought I wonder what would happen if I added, say, water and soap together. So before I did that I thought of a hypothesis... either the soap will create bubbles and dissolve or it will just sink to the bottom and slowly disolve. I then tried the expereiment and watched to see what happened. I observed and took notes and noticed that the soap just sunk to the bottom and slowly began to dissolve. I then drew my conclusion and reflected. This was the same with all of the other experiements. It aligned with the scientfic method very well.
