1.How do scientists get their information?
Scientists get current information from other scientists, and new information by theory, tested by experiment.
2.How do scientists reach a conclusion?
Scientists never reach a conclusion if by conclusion you mean a theory that can never be challenged. Theories are promoted which explain known phenomenon and tested by developing experiments which use the theory to expand the knowledge and understanding of science in new ways.
3.If you were doing science, what would your workspace look like? Unknown
Explain.
Different sciences require differing equipment, but in general, a scientists lab will have instruments which extend the limited ability of the human body to sense the environment surrounding it. The type of extension depends upon the science being investigated. A scientific workspace will also typically contain a way to record the data as it is produced.
4.How many times a day do you feel you run into scientific work?
From time to time. I am assuming that work means journals that discuss attempts to expand our understanding of the Cosmos/world/Universe/everything. Not products that represent the expression of scientific knowledge into our lives, which I define as technology.
5.How much do you trust what scientists say?
I trust that scientists try to accurately interpret as much as they understand about what they observe. I trust that they tell the truth of what they believe they know.
6.Who does science?
People who use the scientific method to expand scientific knowledge.
7.What do you think are the differences between science and technology?
Scientific inquiry is research designed to expand the knowledge and understanding of our world. Technology is the application of science to improve our lives.
Why?
Why not??
8.What do you use to determine the trustworthiness of a new scientific study?
Wait for the next scientific study. See how well it stands up to continuing testing and independant experimentation. |
