31、odKeys to the ExercisesApproaching the Topic 1. 1) The Scientific Method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena and acquiring knowledge, as well as correcting/integrating previous knowledge. It involves gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence, the collection of data thro

32、ugh observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. 2) Scientists put forward hypotheses to explain what is observed. They then conduct experiments to test these hypotheses. The steps taken in the experiment must be capable of replication and the results emerge as the

33、 same. What is discovered may lead to a new hypothesis. 3) Scientists are human and can be unintentionally biased; total objectivity is impossible. 4) Scientists are human and can be unintentionally biased. Science uses our senses and our senses can be mistaken. We can never understand something as

34、it really is because our very presence affects what is being studied. 5) Science is both a body of knowledge and a process. Science is exciting. Science is useful. Science is ongoing. Science is reliable. Science is a community endeavor. 2. 1) c2) g3) e4) f5) a6) d7) h8) k9) b10) i11) j 4. (1) aspec

36、 on. 3) Science can discover the laws to understand the order of nature. 4) Because it relies on a systems of checks and balances, which helps ensure that science moves towards greater accuracy and understanding, and this system is facilitated by diversity within the scientific community, which offe

37、rs a range of perspectives on scientific ideas. 5) Open. Reading about the Topic 3. 1) The modern scientific method is characterized by confirmations and observations which “verified”the theories in question, but some genuinely testable theories, when found to be false, are still upheld by their adm

38、irers, which rescues the theory from refutation only at the price of destroying, or at least lowering, its scientific status. 2) A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. 3) Their theories were constantly verified by their clinical observations. They always fitted a

39、nd were always confirmed. 4) Light must be attracted by heavy bodies (such as the sun). 5) There is the risk involved in a prediction: the theory is incompatible with certain possible results of observation in fact with results which everybody before Einstein would have expected. 4.

F (d) 6. 1) Observations, hypotheses, and deductions, then conclusions. 2) You will need to research everything that you can f ind about the problem. 3) You shouldnt c

41、hange the hypothesis. Instead, try to explain what might have been wrong with your original hypothesis. 4) An important thing to remember during this stage of the scientific method is that once you develop a hypothesis and a prediction, you shouldnt change it, even if the results of your experiment

42、show that you were wrong. 5) Because there is a chance that you made a miscue somewhere along the way. 7. Set 1: 1) c2) a3) d4) b5) f6) e7) h8) g Set 2: 1) e2) g3) a4) f5) c6) b7) d8) h 8. 1) Observation, as the f irst stage of the scientific method, is a way of collecting information from any possi

43、ble sources, which can serve as a foundation in verifying a theory. In this process, one should expect an event which could refute the theory. Only through beingrefuted by new observations which are incompatible with the theory could it be falsified, which ref lects its true scientific virtue. 2) A

44、hypothesis is a possible solution to a problem, based on knowledge and research, while a theory is a hypothesis confirmed by the research findings. Every theory cannot be applied to every situation; otherwise, it is not a good theory. 3) It is always possible to verify nearly every theory, but that

45、would rescue the theory from refutation at the price of destroying, or at least lowering its scientific status. 4) To falsify a theory is more valuable, because a theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. 9. 1) Because of this personal experience and an interest in th

46、e problem, you decide to learn more about what makes plants grow. (Para. B) 2) The experiment that you will design is done to test the hypothesis. (Para. D) 3) Through informal, exploratory observations of plants in a garden, those with more sunlight appear to grow bigger. (Para. H) 4) The judges at your science fair will not take points off simply because your results dont match up with your hypothesis. (Para. K) 5) You cannot prove the hypothesis with a single experiment, because there is a chance that you made a miscue somewhere along the way. (Para. Q) 10. Observatio
