Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 13BS
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).

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
Create an experiment. Point out problem/questions, hypothesis, controlled variables, independent variables, and dependent variables
which of the following best describes the logic of scientific inquiry?
a. If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it.
b. If my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis
c. If my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis.
d. if my prediction is correct, my hypothesis is supported.

- Figure 1.6 In the example below, the scientific method is used to solve an everyday problem. Order the scientific method steps (numbered items) with the process of solving the everyday problem (lettered items). Based on the results of the experiment, is the hypothesis correct? If it is incorrect, propose some alternative hypotheses. Observation Question Hypothesis (answer) Prediction Experiment Result There is something wrong with the electrical outlet.

- WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS: A hypothesis is "a proposed explanation for a set of observations. A prediction would occur after you form a hypothesis. You would make a prediction regarding your hypothesis and then work to gather more information, test the hypothesis through experiments and this will help you determine if your hypothesis is correct and make a conclusion. An example of this might be my phone continues to die quickly despite being fully charged. My hypothesis is that my phone is dying quickly because I have a defective battery. My prediction is that replacing the battery will solve the problem. I can then test that hypothesis by replacing the battery and determine if that solves the problem.arrow_forwardHow could you make a prediction in Science?arrow_forwardWhat did Thomas Kuhn propose?
