a- Why would it be a problem to use only on resource when conducting research for a scientific experiment?
b- A food scientist bakes one cookie dough sample at 350F for 13 minutes and a second sample at 375F for 11 minutes. What is the problem with the scientist's procedure?
c- What would happen if a researcher failed to realize a thermometer he was using has both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?
d- Explain how the measurements for length and volume are related
a- Why would it be a problem to use only on resource when conducting research for a scientific experiment?
In this context, it is important to take in consideration more the one resources because you need all the information that you can in order to conduct a scientific experiment. You must visit different authors in order to know how the establish similar methodologies and then apply it to your necessities.
b- A food scientist bakes one cookie dough sample at 350F for 13 minutes and a second sample at 375F for 11 minutes. What is the problem with the scientist's procedure?
In this case, the scientist must maintain at least one constant variable that will be our independent variable. Here, the scientist is changing the time of cooking and the temperature. He must maintain constant one of these variables
c- What would happen if a researcher failed to realize a thermometer he was using has both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?
The results of the scientist would be inconclusive since he does not know at which scale he is working. Both scales a totally different.
d- Explain how the measurements for length and volume are related
The volume is the amount of space (dimensions) that a determined object occupies. The length allow us to know the extension of an object. Thanks to the length we are actually able to calculate the volume of an object.
