Scientific Method Matching Exercise Resource

Nicole Whaley BIO-220 May 7, 2012 Chris Traasdahl Scientific Method Matching Exercise imagery 1. Observe. A scientist observes that a pond adjacent to an industrial plant has heavier algae branch than ponds farther away (G). I chose this as an example of reflectivity because the disapprobation explains in detail how the scientist first gathered the idea to for conducting the experiment. 2. collect a question. A scientist wonders if the waste water emitted from an industrial plant is accelerating the growth of algae in a pond(C).I believed this designate to be where the scientist asked himself whether or non the industrial plant had any bearing on the accelerated growth. I believe this sentence shows this. 3. Create a surmisal. A scientist, based on his observation of the pond, believes that if a pond is exposed to the waste of an industrial plant, consequently the growth of algae will be accelerated (A). This to me is an educated guess. Although the scientist has not tested or proven anything yet, his educated guess is clearly stated here in this sentence. . Conduct an experiment. In her laboratory, a scientist pours a ampoule of waste water, collected from the industrial plant, and adds it to a dish containing pond water. A second dish (the control dish), containing the same pond water, does not deliver the waste water sample (B). This sentence gives the reader a proposition by stating that the scientist is in her laboratory. It is here where the scientist usually conducts any experiment so it is only right that I would believe this to be the appropriate sentence for this step. . Collect entropy. After 5 days, the scientist measures the amount of algae present in each dish (D). Here the scientist is about to actually see if his hypothesis was correct. It is here that he will gather the information he take to either prove or disprove his assumption. 6. Interpret results. After the data is collected, the scientist discovers that the dish containi ng both the pond water and waste water had much than twice the amount of algae than the control dish (F).I choose this sentence or step in the scenario because it is after you gather your data that you argon able to make a proven statement about what it is you progress to discovered in an experiment. 7. Report results. The scientist conveys his findings to a scientific journal (E). By sending or submitting his findings to a scientific journal leads me to believe that the scientist has reason his experiment and are satisfied with his findings. Therefore he is ready to submit results.
