Document Summary
They are study guides only: she will ask questions that combine understanding of several tutorial questions to test your ability to see the connections, she will also as completely different questions to test your higher order reasoning. Discovery science is mostly about using our senses: smelling milk to conclude that it is expired. Inductive reasoning=you have different facts that ultimately support the result of the research. If you are making a hypothesis it needs to be testable, refutable, and consistent with whatever observation you are making. We cannot have many different variables in an experiment=deductive. Standardized: plant growth: people say that by singing to a plant it grows faster, you need to think what other factors affect plant growth, give same amount of water, same amount of co2, same amount of sunlight, etc. You do not eat because you are hungry, you eat because you need energy. Good experiment designs will save money and time.
