Scientific Method

problems to solve. Maybe this belief I have is too far out of reach to be true.

As said before, deductive reasoning is known as reaching a conclusion by starting with a general principle and applying it to a specific case, a minor premise. This is seen in Stanton’s stand as she starts with generalizations, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal…” and “Let facts be submitted to a candid world.” She then proceed to apply this to specific instances such as, “He has compelled her to submit to laws…”, “He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.”

The development of the scientific method in the late 1500’s to the early 1600’s was a crucial stepping-stone in the science community. The scientific method is based upon observations, hypotheses and experimentation. The concept is rather simple, and can be applied to many areas of study. Once an observation is made, the observer can make a hypothesis as to why that phenomenon occurs and can then design an experiment to prove whether or not that hypotheses is valid. Although the scientific method has been extremely useful in the discovery of various things from usages of medications to studying animal behavior, there are still those who question the usage of this tool. These critics claim that since

Define the Problem: Describe the type of case and what problem(s) or issue(s) should be the focus for

Inductive reasoning stands for the arguments that do not preserve the truth, unlike the deductive reasoning. There is no guarantee in inductive reasoning even if the premises are true that the conclusion will be true. The premises bring forth the probability most in life situations. In inductive reasoning, the premises are described to be weak, implausible or cogent, and they form the basis for the drawn conclusion as the evidence available determines whether the argument is strong or weak.

3) Deductive Reasoning- Reasoning in which ideas are at the beginning and proof follows. Essays, textual commentary, and loose sentences are deductive.

Addressing problems means more than quick fixes; it means dealing with conditions that create problems.

Primarily deductive process used to test pre-specified concepts, constructs, and hypotheses that make up a theory

In order for any problem to be solve first a person or persons have to know the root of the cause. According to

The Scientific Method is the approach that scientists use to investigate some phenomena. It’s a standard technique to find cause and effect of a particular problem.

22.  A ________________ is a fundamental form of reasoning where one proposition is inferred from two others.

The Scientific Method is the standardized procedure that scientists are supposed to follow when conducting experiments, in order to try to construct a reliable, consistent, and non-arbitrary representation of our surroundings. To follow the Scientific Method is to stick very tightly to a order of experimentation. First, the scientist must observe the phenomenon of interest. Next, the scientist must propose a hypothesis, or idea in which the experiments will be based around. Then, through repeated experimentation, the hypothesis can either be proven false or become a theory. If the hypothesis is proven to be false, the scientist must reformulate his or her ideas and come up with another hypothesis, and the experimentation begins again. This

Problem Analysis is basically the concept of understanding the problem at hand, what the root

To fix the problem you need to identify the cause of the problem. One of the ways of fixing the

One of Aristotle’s contributions that is heavily taught in logic classes today is syllogisms. Syllogism, in layman’s terms, is an argument with two premises and a conclusion. It is valid and deductive, basically meaning that it started out as a generalization but condensed to a specification of an idea. To
