Experimental process essential to science

 

The physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed quoted in Scientific American states that ”Despite all this, I don’t want scientists to abandon their talk of beauty. Anything that inspires scientific thinking is valuable…”  Let’s take part in some of that valuable thinking. Do some research and discuss one aspect of nature that you find beautiful. How is the science in this enhance its beauty?
Take a moment today to look outside and notice the nature that is around you.  Find one aspect that is beautiful and inspires awe. In what ways is science and the art of nature compatible? What thoughts do you have as you take      notice of the nature’s beauty around you?
Does the beauty of nature motivate a desire to conserve its biodiversity? What are some other reasons we should seek to steward the vast variety we see on planet earth?” 9 https://www.homeworkmarket.com/fields/biology?page=9

“A manager has many tools available to analyze the financial condition of the organization. The four most common tools are the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flow, and ratios. Each one tells a different story. These stories will be the focus of this week’s discussion question.
You are the financial manager for LazyRiver Regional Hospital. You have been asked by senior leadership to provide a primer to the newest managers on financial reporting tools. You will prepare a 5-slide, narrated presentation on the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow. You want to discuss what each one contains and how we can use it to make financial decisions. For example, what does the balance sheet illustrate? What types of decisions would a manager make using it?” 3 https://www.homeworkmarket.com/fields/biology?page=3

Consider the question posed by the Chapter 1 title of Biology: Science for Life: “Can Science Cure the Common Cold?” Think of a few additional questions science could answer. How do you think science might find answers to these questions?
Review Chapter 1, “Can Science Cure the Common Cold?” in Biology: Science for Life, and consider how the scientific method tests ideas and attempts to find answers to questions. For example,

What is a hypothesis?
How does an experiment test a hypothesis?
Why is the experimental process essential to science?

Review the articles in this week’s Required Resources.

In the article “The Nature of Science,” note the characteristics of scientific inquiry—that is, how scientists study phenomena to arrive at evidence-based conclusions.
Pay special attention to the Reality Check activity in the article “How Can We Tell Science from Non-Science?” Consider what distinguishes the scientific statements from the non-scientific ones.
