Document Summary

Isb 202 week 1: methods and overview: why evolution matters: evolution is the process by which species change over time. Understanding evolution is important because it helps us to understand the diversity of life on earth and how different species are related to one another. Observation: scientists observe the natural world and identify a question or problem that they want to answer. Hypothesis: scientists form a hypothesis, which is a testable explanation for their observation. A hypothesis must be based on previous knowledge and should be able to be supported or refuted through experimentation. Experiment: scientists design and conduct experiments to test their hypothesis. Analysis: scientists analyze the results of their experiments and draw conclusions based on the data collected. It is based on previous knowledge and observations, and is testable through experimentation. Questions are the starting point for scientific inquiry, and hypotheses are used to attempt to answer these questions.

Uncommon" or "emerging" pathogens are ones that are rarely seen in a clinical setting or are new to a geographic area. As a scientist, you will need to follow a logical pattern to determine what the unknown virus is. This logical process is one that all scientists are familiar with the scientific method. The scientific method is a process of determining what natural phenomenon is to be studied and developing a series of experiments to determine what is occurring. Order the steps of the scientific method as a virologist would implement them on the job.

Put the following steps of the scientific method in order (from left to right) that should be followed to identify the virus that is causing this disease
