Scientific Method Concepts

The video tutorial from New Mexico State University introduces the scientific method, emphasizing the importance of starting with known information and forming questions. It guides viewers on how to develop hypotheses and test them through experiments. The process is iterative, with each answered question leading to new inquiries. The video concludes with credits and a disclaimer about the views expressed.

What is the first step in the scientific process as mentioned in the video?

• Drawing conclusions

• Formulating a hypothesis

• Conducting experiments

• Starting with known information

What should you do after forming a question based on your observations?

• Directly conduct experiments

• Formulate a hypothesis

• Ignore the question

• Seek expert advice

What is a hypothesis?

• A proven fact

• A prediction based on questions

• An untestable idea

• A random guess

How can you test a hypothesis?

• By asking more questions

• Through experiments

• By reading books

• By making assumptions

What is the role of experiments in the scientific method?

• To avoid errors

• To create new questions

• To prove a hypothesis

• To test a hypothesis

What happens after a question is answered in the scientific process?

• The hypothesis is discarded

• New questions arise

• The experiment is repeated

• The process ends

What is reiterated about the scientific process in the conclusion?

• It is only for experts

• It is a cycle of questioning and testing

• It ends with a hypothesis

• It is a linear process
