Document Summary
Goals of science: describe experiment group, predict (use known values/knowledge from previous research to predict what might. Understand (as simple as a statistic: explain (often need to manipulate something to explain its impact control vs. Verification by observation (have to see it to verify it) we do this by performing experiments: proposals are subjected to a test, perform an experiment and obtain data happen) A process of gathering knowledge about the world: asking questions about the world, making hypotheses about nature of things and testing these hypotheses, provided a systematic approach. Science is just one way of acquiring knowledge. Coffee increases test scores, therefore the more coffee you drink, the higher your scores will be. Can text this by having a control group that doesn"t drink coffee, a group that drinks 1 cup a day and a group that drinks 3-4 cups a day. Variable that has been manipulates by the experimenter.
