1. a) 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 pumpkins grow bigger when fed milk? (Use each of the steps of the scientific method in your answer.) (15 points)
















b) State one scientific question. (2 points)

Respuesta :

We ask the question: does milk make pumpkins grow bigger? We make the hypothesis that it does, and predict that watering pumpkins with milk will make them grow bigger, compared to those that aren't watered with milk. We take a sample of pumpkins (at least 30 or so) and water them normally, and another sample (also 30 or so) and water them with milk. After the pumpkins are grown, we collect them and measure their weight, and perform statistical analysis to see if there is any significant difference between pumpkins that are watered normally and those that are watered with milk.

Do plant stems still grow upwards when you suspend the plant upside down? would be a very good scientific question.

Answer:

a) The question "Do pumpkins grow bigger when fed milk?" it is already a hypothesis, which means that to apply the scientific method, we should establish an experiment, where we would select a squash squash, feed some with milk and some without milk and wait a certain period of time. After that time, we could move on to the stage of the scientific method called "evaluation of results" where we would evaluate the differences in development and size between the pumpkins that were fed with milk and those that were not. After that we would go to the phase called "conclusion" where based on the comparison of the results we would answer the hypothesis shown above.

b) A scientific question could be "Can bean seeds germinate in sterile soil?"

Explanation:

Scientific method is a set of steps that must be followed when someone wants to prove a hypothesis based on experimental and scientific data. These steps are: visualization of something questionable, formulation of the hypothesis about it, establishment of a scientific experiment to test the hypothesis, evaluation of the results of the experiment and conclusion.

A scientific question is every question that you can perform a scientific experiment to answer it. This scientific experiment is carried out with the steps of the scientific method.
