1. Why is it important to 1. unlimited freedom of inquiry
study science? 3pts 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
2. Reason why religion religious groups oppose all research on methods for the control of
and science is on oppos- human fertility, religious groups challenge the freedom of inquiry
ing sides
3. General definition of way to generate relative knowledge, and an accurate way of gaining this
science knowledge. Need to have inductive attitude, based on human activity
4. Describe Roentgen's was holding a small lead disk between phosphar tube and cathoder ray
discovery of x rays tube, noticed the shadows of his hand
5. Kekule's discovery of - issue was the benzene does not accept any new H molecules
Benzene - had chain of carbons close in on themselves to make room for bond-
ing
- visual approach to benzene
6. discovery of energy used quantam mechanics to solve the problem, used the fact ions in a
bands in solids metal are arranged in an orderly periodic fashion
7. biogeographical stud- humbolt journeyed to south america and mexico
ies realized that there was differences between geographical location and
vegetation
developed theory of biogeography: physical conditions of an area in-
fluence the features of an ecosystem
8. Discovery of smallpox Jenner used inoculated cowpox virus collected from pustules. If you
vaccine had cowpox you wouldn't get small pox, but only if a pustules is at its
strongest.

9. four characteristics of a 1. it has depth
good question 2. it is tantalizing (hold out possibility for answer)
3. it is suggestive (almost tells how to find it)
4. it is fruitful
10. what is the link between the desire to understand (to wonder) and the desire for truth (science)
the sense of wonder
and science?
11. Three criteria for valid 1. no ans can involve a logical contradiction
answer in science 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 explana-
tions
12. Describe the stages 1. exploratory stage: initial stage, observing the facts, performing ex-
in the development periments, getting data
of a scientific idea, 2. conceptual stage: developing and selection of concepts that will help
or an entire field of the principal you're looking for
science: roland's four 3. developmental stage: examining all the possible sequences of the
stage model- ecdv principals
4. verification stage: each prediction is systematically subjected to the
test of experience
13. five questions that can 1. will this experiment interfere with the natural behaviour of the sys-
be answered in science tem?
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

15. Main question that How does cholera spread? A: Took on the hypothesis of other physicians
snow asked in his re- and answered this by comparing the groups from the water pump
search for cholera and Why did not everybody get sick who came into contact with a cholera
how we figured it out patient? Discovered washing hands was a factor
16. bottom-up approach begin with the most basic components of the system and fit together to
make the system
17. top down approach 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. i.e.. human psyiology
18. difficulty with bottom unclear how systematic properties emerge from the interaction of sys-
up tem components
19. what are the ideals of phenomena and events that are in accordance with ideals require no
natural order explanation, how we expect the world to behave
20. describe the charac- pseudoscience: beliefs mistakenly based on the scientific method. Five
teristics of "pseudo- characteristics
science," "crackpot sci- crackpot science: claim of discovery that violates all scientific discovery
ence" and "cargo cult cargocult science: type of nonsense science where the forms of scientific
science." practice are imitated with little understanding of their actual nature
21. open belief system open to criticism and can be disapproved by testing i.e. science
22. closed belief system closed to criticism ie. fundamentalism religion
