method is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, biology, physics, or other sciences. Scientists uses this organized process to do research, it provides a way for scientist to compare the work of others. There are six steps in the scientific method, these steps are not used as a check list to be done in the same order each time. However, all scientist must describe there ways the most publish there results. Key Idea II A scientific study usually…
Sam Kean, a Washington D.C. writer with works in The New York Times Magazine, Mental Floss, Slate, The Believer, Air & Space, Science, and The New Scientist, has created a user-friendly book about how to explain the periodic table and the elements that occupy it by writing the book The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love and the History of the World From the Periodic Table of Elements. He provides an insight into the world of chemistry that relates to his audience, even…
Phyllis Wright, a sixth grade student, asks Albert Einstein if scientists prayed if so what for. Einstein replies in an appropriate manner for the subject and his audience, while appealing to logos, ethos, and pathos. Although Einstein’s letter does not directly answer Phyllis’s question, it is still rhetorically effective. Einstein appeals to logos when discussing the nature of scientific research. He addresses the counter argument in saying that “scientific research is based on…
Are you a man of science? A proper scientist needs to be taught the important knowledge and values of thinking of a scientist. That knowledge being evolutionism, one organism changes slowly over time so that it may survive in the land of predators. But we cannot do so if evolutionism is abolished from school, and replaced by creationism. Let us go over why the sciences of evolutionism should stay in school, rather than creationism. A statement made on Huffing Post said, “Reports that less than…
participants. A lot of the trials did show some improvements in symptoms, but most of those did not achieve statistical significance. Some did, however.” In contrast, the language by the scientist in the scientific report is technical and obviously used to give information about the experiments and marijuana. The scientist start off by providing a few definitions, “Cannabis is a generic term used for drugs produced from plants belonging to the genus Cannabis……Medical cannabis refers to the use…
Within the last decade or two scientists started doing extensive research projects on human DNA. Scientists hoped to find ways to prevent diseases, and in some cases get rid of them all together. In recent years they have found that by genetically altering the DNA makeup of an embryo they can change characteristics and cut out entire DNA strands of diseases altogether. Science has made it possible for parents to begin choosing characteristics that they wish to have in their children. The…
Zimmer believes that scientists have to work together to create a set of steps for experiments so that other scientists can replicated the experiments; thus, allowing scientists to create a consensus (Zimmer, p.3). Then, this relates to Johnson’s article where he states that “replication…is the gold standard of science” (Johnson, p.3). Porter’s argument on the way to construct objectivity of science is weak. He discusses that what makes science unbiased is that scientists in the same field reach…
is one that is seen in the film “Contact”, where the main character, Dr. Ellie Arroway, is an incredible female scientist. Ellie plays a role in the film as a female scientist that can be closely related to women in science throughout history. Ellie and many other female scientists have played the role of an assistant and a visionary. Additionally,…
deserve to live, not to suffer, because animals provide great benefits for us humans; different test methods utilized could replace the harm to animals. Preventing animals from being tested on, scientists need to come up with different test methods to not utilize animals in their experiments. Many scientists try to compromise with each other on finding unique test methods so they do not need to experiment with animals in cosmetic development. The three reasons why cosmetic companies should…
Scientists believe that it is a good idea to bring back extinct animals like dinosaurs. This would not be a good idea because of many reasons. One reason that it would be a bad idea to bring back extinct animals is the fact that they would not be able to adapt to human life as it is now. They would be way to tall, and they would end up eating the human resources like crops and destroy trees and the wildlife. Another reason why scientists should not try to bring back extinct animals is because…
