Scientific Method Concepts and Applications

What should students pay attention to during the classes for their project?

• The topics that interest them most for their work development

• The number of assignments given

• The classroom rules

• The final exam date

Which of the following is an example of Pure Science (Ciência Pura)?

• Development of GPS

• Study of relativity

• Development of diagnostic equipment

• Development of medications

Which step in the scientific method involves making a record of the results?

• Registrar (Record)

• Executar (Execute)

• Formular uma hipótese (Formulate a hypothesis)

• Observar (Observe)

If a researcher observes a phenomenon and then asks questions about it, which step should come next according to the scientific method?

• Formulate a hypothesis

• Execute the experiment

• Record the results

• Repeat the process

Why is it important to register (record) the results during the scientific method process?

• To have evidence for confirming or refuting the hypothesis

• To make the experiment more complicated

• To skip unnecessary steps

• To avoid asking questions

What is the first step in the scientific method according to the material?

• Experimenting

• Observing

• Concluding

• Hypothesizing

What does the step "Questionar" (Questioning) involve in the scientific method?

• Making random guesses

• Formulating a series of specific questions to address the problems to be investigated

• Ignoring previous observations

• Drawing conclusions without evidence

What is the purpose of formulating hypotheses in the scientific method?

• To provide possible answers to questions and a basis for experimentation

• To collect data from experiments

• To write a scientific report

• To publish results in a journal

Why are experiments conducted in the scientific method?

• To test hypotheses and analyze their validity or falsity

• To entertain the scientists

• To create new laws

• To avoid using theory

According to the text, what should students do in pairs based on what they have studied?

• Use the scientific method and its steps to address a practical everyday problem

• Write a poem about science

• Memorize the periodic table

• Draw a picture of a scientist
