Introduction To The Scientific Method
1) Why Is The Scientific Method Used?
A) To Test Ideas About How The Natural World Works
B) To Memorize Scientific Facts About Experiments
C) To Determine Legal Responsibilities For Scientists
D) To Establish Economic Policies For The World
ANS: A
The Scientific Method Is A Structured Process Used By Scientists To Investigate
Observations, Answer Questions, And Test Hypotheses. Its Main Goal Is To Gain A
Better Understanding Of How The Natural World Functions Through Observation,
Experimentation, And Analysis.
Section: 1.1
Skill: Remembering/Understanding
Learning Outcome: 1.1
2) Which Feature Is Necessary For A Scientific Hypothesis?
A) It Can Be Proven True
B) It Is Falsifiable.
C) It Is A Theory About Supernatural Events.
D) It Is Not Based On Observations.
ANS: B
A Scientific Hypothesis Must Be Falsifiable, Meaning It Can Be Tested And Potentially
Proven Wrong. This Criterion Is Essential Because Science Progresses By Ruling Out
Incorrect Ideas And Refining Our Understanding Of Natural Phenomena
,Section: 1.1
Skill: Remembering/Understanding)
Learning Outcome: 1.1
3) Which Of The Following Is An Appropriate Scientific Hypothesis?
A) Rude People Catch More Colds Than Polite People.
B) Cold Viruses Should Be Allowed To Reproduce Just Like Anything Else.
C) Going To School When You Have A Cold Is Unethical.
D) People Protected From Chilly Temperatures Catch Fewer Colds.
ANS: D
A Good Hypothesis Must Be Testable And Based On Observable Phenomena. Option D
Is A Scientifically Testable Idea About A Possible Cause-And-Effect Relationship,
Making It An Appropriate Hypothesis.
Section: 1.1
Skill: Remembering/Understanding
Learning Outcome: 1.1
4) What Is A Scientific Theory?
A) An Explanation Supported By Large Amounts Of Experimental Evidence
B) An Explanation That Cannot Be Modified With New Experimental Evidence
C) A Logical Opinion Proposed By One Person
D) Any Testable Explanation For A Question Or Problem
ANS: A
A Scientific Theory Is A Well-Substantiated Explanation Of An Aspect Of The Natural
World That Is Supported By A Large Body Of Evidence Gathered Through Repeated
Experimentation And Observation.
Section: 1.1
Skill: Remembering/Understanding
, Learning Outcome: 1.2
5) Deductive Reasoning Is Used To Make ____Based On A Hypothesis.
A) Correlations
B) Data
C) Predictions
D) Statistical Tests
ANS: C
Deductive Reasoning Moves From General Principles (Like A Hypothesis) To Specific
Predictions. Scientists Use It To Predict What Results They Should Observe If A
Hypothesis Is Correct.
Section: 1.1
Skill: Remembering/Understanding)
Learning Outcome: 1.3
6) Which Hypothesis Was Tested By Warren And Marshall During Their Research
Involving Helicobacter Pylori Bacteria And Stomach Ulcers?
A) Eating Spicy Food Increases Populations Of H. Pylori In The Stomachs Of People
Susceptible To Ulcers.
B) The Cause Of Many Stomach Ulcers Is The Bacterium H. Pylori, Not Spicy Food.
C) Stomach Acid Production Is Decreased By H. Pylori Bacteria In The Stomachs Of
People With Ulcers.
D) Acute Stomach Pain Is Often Caused By H. Pylori Bacteria, Not Ulcers.
ANS: B
Warren And Marshall Discovered That H. Pylori Is The Primary Cause Of Many
Stomach Ulcers, Challenging The Prevailing Belief That Spicy Food And Stress Were
The Main Culprits.
