1.1 Application
Application refers to the process of putting theoretical knowledge into practical
use. It involves taking learned concepts, skills, or principles and applying them to
real-world situations, problems, or scenarios. In essence, application is about
using what you've learned to achieve a specific goal, solve a problem, or
demonstrate understanding.
Ref: 1.4.2 p.3
1.2 Learning the scientific approach
The scientific approach is a way of learning about the world around us. It's like
being a detective, trying to figure out answers to questions or solve mysteries.
First, you ask a question about something that interests you. Then, you do some
research to learn more about it. Next, you make a guess, called a hypothesis, to
try to answer your question.
After that, you test your guess with an experiment. This is where you try to find
out if your guess is right or not. When you're done, you look at the results and
think about what they mean.
