- Consider the steps involved in an experiment that uses the scientific method. Arrange the six given steps in the order in which they occur. One of the steps will not be used. First step of investigation Final step of investigation Answer Bank Share the results and conclusions of the experiment. Choose the data that are most likely to support the hypothesis and ignore the rest of the data. Conduct the experiment and collect the resulting data. Make observations that raise a question about some aspect of a natural phenomenon. Analyze the data collected in the experiment. Form a hypothesis that can answer the question about the natural phenomenon. Design an experiment that tests the hypothesis.arrow_forwardGive one example of a theory and explain why such theory is considered as scientific. What are the criteria considered in determining whether the theory is scientific or not?arrow_forward(1 question with multiple steps please answer) Identify the component characteristics of a scientific investigation Suggest alternative hypotheses that could be tested by the design Evaluate the validity of conclusions based on the given results Suggest ways to improve the experimental design Define and recognize examples of the experimental group, experimental variable, control group, control variable, independent variable, and dependent variable, and dataarrow_forward
- research uses data collected for some other purpose to test a new hypothesis. Many archives exist but obtaining access to these collections may be difficult. For example, hospitals and schools collect a great deal of information about patients and students, but privacy regulations prevent researchers from getting access to these data sets. studies strive to establish a relationship between two variablesarrow_forwardDefine and distinguish between: a. a hypothesis and a scientific theory b. an experimental group and a control grouparrow_forwardA related set of hypotheses that collectively explain some aspect of the natural world makes up a scientific _________. a. prediction b. test c. theory d. authority e. observationarrow_forward
