What are five ways to collect data?

Observation, Experiment, Surveys, Interviews, Questionaires


What type of data is collected using observation?

The word empirical denotes information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment.


What are the steps to Scientific Inquiry?

Scientific Inquiry is the ongoing process of discovery in Science. There are 8 steps to Scientific Inquiry.Observations - An observation is the process of using one or more of your sences to gather information. There are 2 types of observations. Qualitative observations and quantitative observations. A qualitative obervation is an observation that deals with characteristics that cannot be expressed in numbers. A quantitative is an observation that deals with a number, size, or amount and have a unit.Investigative Question (Scientific Question) - Pose a question for your observation.Hypothesis - a hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question that is testable. A hypothesis must be testable. This means scientists must be able to carry out investigations and gather evidence that will either support or disapprove a hypothesis.Organize experiment - create your experiment to test your hypothesis. Identify the Manipulated, Responding, and Controlled variables. Also make sure you have atleast 1 Operational Definition.Test your experiment - test your experiment to see if your hypothesis is true.Collect Data - Now you see what happens. Make a table or graph to record the data collected. Analyze the data after they have been collected.Conclusion - Consider if there are enough data to support or dis approve the hypothesis. It is also a summary of what you have learned from the experiment.Communicate - Share your ideas and experimental findings wiht others through writing or speaking.


How should data be collected and displayed in the scientific method?

The scientific method does not detail how you do an experiment, only the method used in general terms.


Did Albert Einstein use the scientific method?

Yes. Einstein was certainly a proper scientist. There are many versions of the "Scientific Method". But they have several Greek notions of logic and reasonableness, despite the details. # Observation # Hypothesis # Experimental Data # Analysis # Conclusion # Publish # Retest (frequently done by others) See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method Usuallly the "Scientific Method" addresses a problem that seems to be unanswered or unanswerable by the current orthodoxy, possibly posed by an observation that does not fit the present model. An hypothesis is crafted that explains the observation. The hypothesis is tested and analyzed. Conclusion are drawn consistent with the results of the experiment. The data and experimental details are published so that others may redo the experiment or comment on the test. This technique has variations from one field to another and one situation to another. Some experiments are never re-done, but the experimental data is reanalyzed carefully. Sometimes results are never openly published for security reasons. A good way to see how the Scientific Method works is to imagine leaving out key parts, and then judging whether or not you can depend on the answer....Probably not!
