The Scientific Method
A method used to gain, organize, and apply new knowledge
![Page 2: The Scientific Method A method used to gain, organize, and apply new knowledge.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56649ec45503460f94bcdcc8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Beliefs and Values vs Scientific Method
• Personal decisions vs measurable , physical characteristics

Typical Steps in The Scientific Method
• Question– Observe & recognize a
problem
• Research the problem• Hypothesis
– A testable proposed solution to the problem
• Experiment/test– Independent/dependent
variables– Control
• Analyze the Data• Conclusion
– No!! Yes!! I Don’t Know!

Parts of an experiment
• Independent variable– The thing the experimenter changes
• Dependent variable– The thing that is observed changing– Changes as a result of the changes to
the independent variable
• Control group– The standard in which all conditions
are kept the same
• Experimental group– The test group in which all conditions
are kept the same except for one (the independent variable

Types of data
• Quantitative data– Exact measurements– Numbers with units– Example: 100O C, 1.5 grams
• Qualitative data– Descriptions– Example: red liquid, hot, heavy

If your conclusion supports your hypothesis, it can become a . . .• Law (Principle)
– Hypothesis tested many times and never disproved• Example: Law of Gravity
• Fact– Something about which competent observers agree
• Example: Eating more calories than you burn off will result in weight gain.
• Theory– The simplest rule that organizes the hypothesis,
prediction, and experimental outcome.– Theory is not the end!
• Example: Theory of evolution

Abiogenesis Read chapter 14 sec. 2 pages 401-407
• The Spontaneous Generation hypothesis
• Earlier notions of abiogenesis, now more commonly known as spontaneous generation, held that complex, living organisms are generated by decaying organic substances, e.g. that mice spontaneously appear in stored grain or maggots spontaneously appear in meat.

Miller & Urey 1953
• Organic Evolution• Experimented w/ gases
thought to be in the early atmosphere and created amino acids and other organic compounds.
• Since then, other scientists have refined the process and have produced amino acids, sugars, and nucleic acids (DNA)

Pasteur pg 402
• Emperor Napoleon III asked Pasteur to investigate the diseases afflicting wine which were causing considerable economic losses to the wine industry. Pasteur went to a vineyard in Arbois in 1864 to study this problem. He demonstrated that wine diseases are caused by microorganisms that can be killed by heating the wine to 55deg.C for several minutes. Applied to beer and milk, this process, called "pasteurization", soon came into use throughout the world.

Louis Pasteur
• . His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs, known as the "germ theory of disease",
• (is one of the most important in medical history. His work became the foundation for the science of microbiology, and a cornerstone of modern medicine. )
