Why is it important to study science? 3pts<correct answers>1.
unlimited freedom of inquiry
2. important to know science is not static, and it evolves
3. important to study science and scientific pov for even if no one
else plans to engage
Reason why religion and science is on opposing sides<correct
answers>religious groups oppose all research on methods for the
control of human fertility, religious groups challenge the freedom
of inquiry
General definition of science<correct answers>way to generate
relative knowledge, and an accurate way of gaining this
knowledge. Need to have inductive attitude, based on human
activity
Describe Roentgen's discovery of x rays<correct answers>was
holding a small lead disk between phosphar tube and cathoder
ray tube, noticed the shadows of his hand
Kekule's discovery of Benzene<correct answers>- issue was the
benzene does not accept any new H molecules
,- had chain of carbons close in on themselves to make room for
bonding
- visual approach to benzene
discovery of energy bands in solids<correct answers>used
quantam mechanics to solve the problem, used the fact ions in a
metal are arranged in an orderly periodic fashion
biogeographical studies<correct answers>humbolt journeyed to
south america and mexico
realized that there was differences between geographical location
and vegetation
developed theory of biogeography: physical conditions of an area
influence the features of an ecosystem
Discovery of smallpox vaccine<correct answers>Jenner used
inoculated cowpox virus collected from pustules. If you had
cowpox you wouldn't get small pox, but only if a pustules is at its
strongest.
four characteristics of a good question<correct answers>1. it has
depth
2. it is tantalizing (hold out possibility for answer)
3. it is suggestive (almost tells how to find it)
4. it is fruitful
,what is the link between the sense of wonder and science?
<correct answers>the desire to understand (to wonder) and the
desire for truth (science)
Three criteria for valid answer in science<correct answers>1. no
ans can involve a logical contradiction
2. every ans must be consistent with theories or provide a good
reason for changing theories
3. no ans can be violated an established empirical fact without
explanations
Describe the stages in the development of a scientific idea, or an
entire field of science: roland's four stage model- ecdv<correct
answers>1. exploratory stage: initial stage, observing the facts,
performing experiments, getting data
2. conceptual stage: developing and selection of concepts that
will help the principal you're looking for
3. developmental stage: examining all the possible sequences of
the principals
4. verification stage: each prediction is systematically subjected
to the test of experience
five questions that can be answered in science<correct
answers>1. will this experiment interfere with the natural
behaviour of the system?
2. are the systems able to detect the expected results?
, 3. is the available equipment capable of detecting results
4. is the initial state of the system studied properly
5. will the experimental procedure destroy or disable the system
being studied
Two major pieces of evidence that led snow to the discovery of
cholera<correct answers>1. Pump handle removed and disease
went down in the area.
2. Those in the area drinking other water were fine.
Main question that snow asked in his research for cholera and
how we figured it out<correct answers>How does cholera
spread? A: Took on the hypothesis of other physicians and
answered this by comparing the groups from the water pump
Why did not everybody get sick who came into contact with a
cholera patient? Discovered washing hands was a factor
bottom-up approach<correct answers>begin with the most basic
components of the system and fit together to make the system
top down approach<correct answers>it is assumed that a system
must satisfy certain constraints, either on the basis of general
laws of nature, or in order to maintain its integrity as a system.
