CORRECT ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED
Why is it important to study science? - Answer 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 - Answer religious groups oppose
all research on methods for the control of human fertility, religious groups challenge the
freedom of inquiry
General definition of science - Answer 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 - Answer was holding a small lead disk between
phosphar tube and cathoder ray tube, noticed the shadows of his hand
Kekule's discovery of Benzene - Answer - 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 by the use of quantam mechanics, used the fact that
ions in a metal are arranged in an orderly, periodic fashion
Biogeographical studies by the Answer humbolt journeyed to south america and
mexico,
realized that there was differences between geographical location and vegetation
developed the theory of biogreography: the physical condition of an area dictate
,characteristics of an ecosystem
Discovery of smallpox vaccine - Answer 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 - Answer 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 relation between the sense of wonder and science? - The desire to
understand (to wonder) and the desire for truth (science)
Three criteria for valid answer in science - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer 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 -
Answer How does cholera spread? A: Took on the hypothesis of other physicians and
answered this by comparing the groups from the water pump
Why didn't everybody get sick who came into contact with a cholera patient?
Discovered washing hands was a factor
bottom-up approach - Answers start with the most basic components of the system and
fit together to make the system
top down approach - Answer 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
difficulty with bottom up - Answer unclear how systematic properties emerge from the
interaction of system components
what are the ideals of natural order - Answer phenomena and events that are in
accordance with ideals require no explanation, how we expect the world to behave
describe the characteristics of "pseudoscience," "crackpot science" and "cargo cult
science." - Answer pseudoscience: beliefs mistakenly based on the scientific method.
