How does Society influence Science?
i think it make the plant produce more energy so it can grow
How do you find the average in a trial?
Assuming a scientific trial, with 8 experiments resulting in 8 numerical results. As with all averages, total the 8 results and divide by the number of 8 experiments.
What is the difference between a scientific theory and established scientific knowledge?
In many ways there are no differences. I am not a scientist, but an interested and informed 'layman'. We should make some distinctions among different kinds of 'knowledge'. At one time in history, probably no person ever seriously thought that we would walk on another world (the moon) or be able to directly observe the planets. There were some interesting theories about how the planets moved in the skies long before we had a grasp of gravity. Some of these old planetary theories (mathematical systems rather than theories, really) had amazingly accurate predictive value. You could show where a planet would be at a given future time, and always be right. According to those earth-centered systems, though, the planets were moving in all kinds of swirling, eccenric ways (resulting from the obligatory geo-centric starting point). Those models of planetary motion were completely off base, even though the systems could make excellent predictions. The models were theoretical, and the thinkers who developed them had every reason to believe they would always be theoretical. We know now, not just because much better models were developed, but by direct observation, that the sun is at the center. We can make predictions too, but have irrefutable evidence about the basic, gross movement of planets. Some might argue that this means the geocentric 'theory' is now proven, and that the geocentric 'theory' is now 'established knowledge'. After all, no person in his/her right mind will seriously rush to the telescope tonight hoping to find Jupiter orbiting clockwise now, instead of anticlockwise. I think it is closer to the truth to say that what was once considered theoretical regarding gross planetary motion has now left the realm of theory altogether and has become a simple, common observation that would not be denied by any informed competent person. A great deal of scientific knowledge fits into this picture; many of the more immediately observable realities of the world do not require knowledge of a deeper theory in order to believe them and to consider them 'established'. However, there is another level of theory that is not so easily written off. Given the obvious gross motion of the planets, there is the awesome reality that something is maintaining this motion. We know (for the time being, at any rate) that this something is gravity, and there are some fascinating theories about how it works, and what it is. You can see that this kind of theory is different in nature from the 'theories' of planetary motion that the ancient thinkers developed. We are not likely to ever 'see' gravity, or the quantum, string and m-theories that are being studied along with it. Relativity and Quantum theory have strong predictive power, and each has inspired fascinating research. Are we ready to say that these 'theories' are 'established' scientific knowledge? I say no, we are not. I would come to the same conclusion about what we call the 'Big Bang', and Evolution, and a few others. These deep, invisible theoretical frameworks are and will forever remain theoretical, because the process of science itself (the heuristic we call the scientific method) does NOT contain any end-point, a way of testing a theory to indicate that absolute, forever irrefutable truth has been revealed. The theories that hold up to the test of time (and armies of scientists who would destroy them) usually end up enjoying a measure of stability; some of them even become 'laws'. But if the work of a scientist of Newton's mythical stature can be challenged and shown to be in many ways fundamentally wrong after centuries of dominance, then what theory can ever be demonstrated to be beyond challenge? Whatever scientific knowledge that is dependent upon a deep theoretical structure, even if it is considered 'established' today, may become the center of the next world-changing scientific revolution tomorrow.
How do you use resulting in a sentence?
an example is.... peter killed the fox resulting in his father reporting him for animal cruelty
What is the science of when you study animals?
Biology: The study of living organisms. Science: Any systematic knowledge base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a correct prediciton.
What is the term for explanation based on scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations and experiments?
Scientific theory
What is an explanation based scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations and experiments?
a conclusion
What explanation is based on scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations and experiments?
a conclusion
Explanation based on scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations experiments?
Scientific Theory! ------- Induction.. also it is made up of a... claim ,data ,and science knowledge
Explanation based on scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations and experiements?
Scientific knowledge is a body of information that has been generated through systematic observations, experiments, and analysis in order to better understand the natural world. This knowledge is based on evidence gathered through the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing results. Through this rigorous process, scientists can make predictions about natural phenomena and continuously refine their understanding of the world around us.
What is the word that's definition is-Explanation based on on scientific knowledge resulting from numerous observations an experiments?
The answer is clearly theory, I'm doing a science paper right now, process of elimination.
How is science like religion?
They both seek to explain mysteries of life and the physical world. Religion does so by presenting secret knowledge purported to originate from an unverifiable authority and prohibiting all dissent. Science does this by observation and experimentation, resulting in hypotheses that can be verified by repetition. If a scientific theory is proven false, a new theory is developed.
How can scientific activity be attributed to serendipity?
It is rare that true scientific achievement or advancement can be attributed solely to chance. Scientific knowledge is gained through careful testing and experimentation; repeated many times. There are some events, such as the discovery of penicillin, which begin with a random event but the resulting scientific discoveries are by and large the result of hard work and careful analysis.
What is evolutionary theary?
The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. It posits that species change over time through genetic mutations and natural selection, resulting in the emergence of new species. This theory was proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century and is supported by a large body of scientific evidence.
Time-tested explanation of a phenomenon that occurs in the natural world?
The phenomenon of tides is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, resulting in the regular rise and fall of sea levels. This cycle occurs approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes, affecting coastal regions worldwide. The interaction between these celestial bodies has been observed and understood for centuries, making it a time-tested explanation in the natural world.
What is anthropometric data?
onthropometric data is information resulting from scientific study of measurements of the human body
When you see lightning strike you hear thunder first is this statement a scientific theory or a scientific law?
This statement is an observation or a phenomenon, not a scientific theory or law. It describes the sequence of events that occur when lightning strikes and the resulting sound of thunder that is heard.
