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 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct answer ✔used quantam
mechanics to solve the problem, used the fact ions in a metal are arranged in
an orderly periodic fashion
,biogeographical studies - correct answer ✔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 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 - correct 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

✔the desire to understand (to wonder) and the desire for truth (science)
Three criteria for valid answer in science - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 -
correct 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 - correct 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 did not everybody get sick who came into contact with a cholera patient?
Discovered washing hands was a factor
bottom-up approach - correct answer ✔begin with the most basic
components of the system and fit together to make the system
