Designing an Experiment
How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be
tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time. All other variables should be kept unchanged, or controlled.

Designing an Experiment Designing an Experiment
The process of testing a hypothesis includes: Asking a question Forming a hypothesis Setting up a controlled experiment Recording and analyzing results Drawing a conclusion

Designing an Experiment Asking a Question
Many years ago, people wanted to know how living things came into existence. They asked:
How do organisms come into being?
![Page 5: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Designing an Experiment Forming a Hypothesis
One early hypothesis was spontaneous generation, or the idea that life could come from nonliving matter. For example, most people thought that maggots spontaneously appeared on meat.
In 1668, Redi proposed a different hypothesis: that maggots came from eggs that flies laid on meat.
![Page 6: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Designing an Experiment Setting Up a Controlled Experiment The variable that is deliberately
changed is called the manipulated variable.
The variable that is observed and that changes in response to the manipulated variable is called the responding variable.

Designing an Experiment Recording and Analyzing Results
Scientists keep written records of their observations, or data.
Sometimes drawings are used to record certain kinds of observations.
![Page 10: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Designing an Experiment Today, researchers use computers to
record their work. Online storage makes it easier for
researchers to review the data.
![Page 11: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Designing an Experiment Drawing a Conclusion
Scientists use the data from an experiment to evaluate a hypothesis and draw a valid conclusion.
Redi’s results supported the hypothesis that maggots were produced by flies, not spontaneous generation.

Repeating Investigations Repeating Investigations
Scientists repeat experiments to be sure that the results match those already obtained.

Repeating Investigations Needham's Test of Redi's Findings Needham challenged Redi’s results by
claiming that spontaneous generation could occur under the right conditions.
![Page 14: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Repeating Investigations Needham’s Test of Redi’s Findings
Needham sealed a bottle of gravy and heated it.
After several days, the gravy was swarming with microorganisms.
Needham concluded that these organisms came from the gravy by spontaneous generation.

Repeating Investigations Pasteur's Test of Spontaneous Generation
Louis Pasteur conclusively disproved the hypothesis of spontaneous generation.
Pasteur showed that all living things come from other living things.

Repeating Investigations The Impact of Pasteur’s Work
Pasteur saved the French wine industry, which was troubled by unexplained souring of wine.
He saved the silk industry, which was endangered by a silkworm disease.
He began to uncover the nature of infectious diseases, showing that they were the result of microorganisms.
![Page 21: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It is not always possible to do an experiment to test a hypothesis. For example:
Wild animals must be observed without disturbing them. Ethical considerations prevent some experiments.
By carefully planning alternative investigations, scientists can discover reliable patterns that add to scientific understanding.
When Experiments Are Not Possible

How a Theory Develops
How does a scientific theory develop?

How a Theory Develops How a Theory Develops
As evidence from numerous investigations builds up, a hypothesis may become so well supported that scientists consider it a theory.
In science, the word theory applies to a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.
![Page 24: 1-2 How Scientists Work. Designing an Experiment How do scientists test hypotheses? Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649ef05503460f94c00fd1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How a Theory Develops No theory is considered absolute truth. As new evidence is uncovered, a theory
may be revised or replaced by a more useful explanation.
