Model 6 - notes Flashcards
How does technology enhance and/or limit scientific investigation?
-
– temperature on reaction rate
-
– temperature on volume of gas
-
– speed on distance travelled
-
– pressure on volume of gas
-
● Random and systematic errors and the devices’ degree of accuracy
-
● using specific examples, compare the accuracy of analogue and digital technologies in making observations
-
● assess the safety of technologies selected for the practical investigation by using chemical safety data and Work Health and Safety guidelines as appropriate
-
assess the impact that developments in technologies
– computerised simulations and models of the Earth’s geological history
-
assess the impact that developments in technologies
– X-ray diffraction and the discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
-
assess the impact that developments in technologies
– technology to detect radioactivity and the development of atomic theory
-
assess the impact that developments in technologies
– the Hadron collider and discovery of the Higgs boson
-
Technology role in delevloping:
– the laws of refraction and reflection on the development of microscopes and telescopes
-
Technology role in delevloping:
– radioactivity and radioactive decay on the development of radiotherapy and nuclear bombs
