SECTION 13.3- Biology and Scientific Investigation
Section 13.3
52
the Scriptures provide us with
1. true account of origin of all things 2. interpretive framework by which to view life and the world
53
two biblical presuppositions that science would be impossible without
1. there is a cause for every effect or event in creation 2. there is something real to be discovered and understood about creation
54
special process scientists use to solve scientific problems
scientific method
55
the scientific method is a form of reasoning from specific events in nature to their general causes
inductive reasoning
56
three main activities of the scientific method are
theorizing observing hypothesizing
57
steps of scientific method
1. State the problem 2. Think of possible solutions (hypotheses) 3. Test the hypotheses 4. Reach conclusion 5. Keep open mind 6. Test conclusion with additional experiments
58
tentative solutions to a sceintific problem
hypotheses
59
T/F: Hypotheses are the answer to the problem

60
what biologists use which are experiments in which all factors are identical except the one being tested
controlled experiments
61
one factor being tested is called the
variable
62
group of substance that is tested upon
experimental group
63
group of substance that is not experimented on
control group
64
every good experiment must have a ________________ to prove that the variable produced the results of the experiment
control group
65
the repeating of experimental work
replication
66
when a hypothesis has passed the test of many well-designed experiments and has the support of other scientists, it is referred to as
theory
67
if theory stands the test of time and is verified by experiment after experiment, it may eventually be referred to as
scientific law
68

75

scientific method
76
true science is limited to what is
