A person who has been honored by being awarded the Nobel Prize.What is empirical data, knowledge, or evidence and why is it considered to be objective data, knowledge, or evidence?Empirical data, knowledge, or evidence is gained through direct observation. It is objective because it does not depend on the view of the observer.How is qualitative data, knowledge, or evidence different from quantitative data, knowledge, or data?Qualitative data, knowledge, or evidence is gained without benefit of measurements whereas quantitative data is always based on measurements.List the 4 steps of the scientific method and give a BRIEF description of each.Observation = notice the details of a particular phenomenonHypothesis = ask a testable question about the phenomenonExperiment = collect data based on testable questionTheory = attempt to explain phenomenon based on collected dataWrite a formalized hypothesis for the following statement. Temperature may cause leaves to change color.If leaf color change is related to temperature, then exposing a leaf to different temperatures will cause the leaf to change color.B Level:List the empirical and non-empirical data in the following: The white, crystalline solid melted at 750C.Non-empirical: white, crystalline Empirical: melted at 75oCIdentify the objective and subjective information in the following: Sally said the test was difficult and that the average score was 72%.Subjective: the test was difficultObjective: average score was 72%A Level:Give an example of a scientific theory and a scientific law.THEORY: Galaxies may be moving away from each other due to momentum imparted to the universe during the Big Bang.Hubble's LAW: Hubble's law provides a concise method for measuring a galaxy's velocity in relation to our own. The movement of those galaxies can be traced backed to the Big Bang. ................
