STS MIDTERM REVIEWER ‧₊˚ ⋅ 1ST SEMESTER 🍒 ASSUMPTIONS WHEN USING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD ★ There are specific causes for events observed in nature. ★ These causes can be identified. ★ There are general rules or principles that Science Technology can be used to describe what happens in nature. Scientia --> KNOWLEDGE ★ An event that occurs repeatedly probably Explains the phenomena we encounter in has the same cause. nature and the univers ★ What one person perceives can also be Used in solving problems perceived by others. || ★ The same fundamental rule of nature apply Through a systematic process = Scientific regardless of where and when they occur.
