Study Notes
Scientific Method
Question
- A clear and concise question that defines the problem or phenomenon to be investigated
- Should be specific, testable, and relevant to the problem or phenomenon
- Examples:
- What is the effect of pH on the growth of radish seeds?
- How does the amount of sunlight affect the growth of a plant?
Research
- Gathering information and resources to answer the question
- Involves:
- Reviewing existing literature and research
- Conducting experiments and collecting data
- Analyzing and interpreting data
- Types of research:
- Qualitative: focuses on descriptive data, often through observations and interviews
- Quantitative: focuses on numerical data, often through experiments and surveys
Report
- A clear and concise presentation of the research findings
- Should include:
- Introduction: background information and research question
- Methods: description of the research design and procedures
- Results: presentation of the data collected
- Discussion: interpretation of the results and implications
- Should be:
- Organized and easy to follow
- Free of bias and error
- Supported by evidence and data
Conclusion
- A summary of the findings and implications of the research
- Should:
- Answer the research question
- State the significance and implications of the findings
- Suggest avenues for future research
- Should not:
- Introduce new information not discussed in the report
- Make unsubstantiated claims or assumptions
