[Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] Richards, Paul Strayer University [Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] Scientists use a scientific method to investigate phenomena and acquire knowledge. They base the method on verifiable observation for an example, on replicable empirical evidence rather than on pure logic or supposition and on the principles of reasoning. (Newton) When I was in school many years ago, we were taught that scientists go through a series of steps

The scientific method is a standardized way of making observations, gathering data, forming theories, testing predictions, and interpreting results. The general process of the scientific method goes as followed: Creating a hypothesis, executing an experiment, evaluating data, refining a theory, and developing a theory. The observations the researcher has made using the scientific method of thing is

Scientific Method Activity Erin Whjpple SCI 230 Mitzie Sowell In the first scientific method activity I chose the experiment with tomato plant growth in a garden. In this experiment I observed that the tomatoes in the small garden haven’t been growing as full producing fewer tomatoes each summer. The last four years the tomatoes have been grown in the same garden in the same soil as the summers past without replenishing the soil. This caused me to question whether or not the plants need

The Scientific Method Observation: I have noticed that when a plant develops, it will develop in the direction of an origin of light rather than developing straight or far from the light origin. Question: Is it the light which causes the plant to develop at an angle rather than straight up? Is it only a fluke produced by that plant? Is it the breeze or might be heat which causes this? Theory: A plant will develop in the direction of a light origin as it aims to create photosynthesis

Application of Scientific Methodology on Two Sample Case Studies Student Name Institution Introduction Scientific method is one of the most reliable methods that are used to convey information and knowledge among researchers. In 18th century there were difficulties in the ways in which scientists could verify the works of other colleagues (Achinstein, 2004). Thus there was agreed upon a method to be used when conducting research which became the scientific method. This method is relied upon
