Understanding the Scientific Process: Inquiry, Experiments, and the Role of Technology

Chapter Three delves into the scientific process, emphasizing inquiry and the scientific method as foundational elements of scientific exploration. It explains how experiments are conducted, the importance of understanding variables, and the ethical obligation to report findings truthfully. The chapter also explores the relationship between science and technology, highlighting how technology emerges as a solution to human needs. Engineers play a crucial role in this process, utilizing the engineering cycle to develop, test, and refine prototypes through iterative improvements.

  1. THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS

  2. Chapter Three: The ScientificProcess • 3.1 Inquiry and the Scientific Method • 3.2 Experiments and Variables • 3.3 The Nature of Science and Technology

  3. Truthful reporting is the most important tradition of science. Scientists often write a report of their experiments and submit it to a scientific journal. 3.3 The Nature of Science and Technology

  4. Technology is the application of science to meet human needs and solve problems. Technology arises from a need for things to be done better. 3.3 The Nature of Science and Technology

  5. People who design technology to solve problems are called engineers. 3.3 Science and Technology

  6. The engineering cycle consists of: designing a prototype building a prototype, testing a prototype, and evaluating a prototype. The best inventions go through the cycle many times, being improved each cycle until all the problems are worked out. 3.3 The Nature of Science and Technology
