When you make important decisions about life, do you use any of the steps in scientific method? Compare a person's typical decision‐making process to the scientific method. Which of the steps in the scientific method do we typically use and which do we omit?
The scientific method is the process that scientists use to find out new information. It involves a question, a hypothesis, a prediction, collecting data, and analyzing that data to make a conclusion. How would you use the scientific method to answer this question: Do mice live longer when they are fed high-sugar diets?

Which pre-Socratic philosopher asserted the existence of a single supreme god, but was skeptical about knowledge claims (including his own claim that earth and water are the elements of all things)? Anaxagoras of Clazomenae Leucippus of Miletus Democritus of Abdera Xenophanes of Elea Empedocles of Acragas
Write a hypothesis that answers our scientific question: How does the solution change the volume of an egg cell? Be sure to be specific about the parts of the experiment. Include the variables in your response. How does the concentration of the syrup solution change the volume of an egg cell? Use this sentence starter for a guide: If the [independent variable] [increases/decreases] then the [dependent variable] will [increase, decrease, stay the same] because [insert what you think you understand about biology].
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. If something is wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won’t work when plugged into it. My toaster doesn’t toast my bread. I plug my coffee maker into the outlet. My coffeemaker works. Why doesn't my toaster work?
