How did Lavoisier help to transform chemistry? [1.3] |
Lavoisier helped to transform chemistry from a science of observation of the science of measurement that it is today |
|
|
What procedures are at the core of scientific methodology? [1.3] |
Scientific methodology involves making observations, proposing and testing hypotheses, and developing theories |
|
|
What role do collaboration and communication play in science? [1.3] |
When scientists collaborate and communicate with one another, they increase the likelihood of a successful outcome |
