notes about science method

in the incredible day, the physical fairness, mental development, social kindness, spiritual meaning are crucial for your life. to do - to be - to have

moreover, i read a article on "how stuff works" about the scientific method, here is my notes following:
dark age -> renaissance. came a period of awakening, extend scientific community, inspire creativity of problem solving

roger bacon, francis bacon, galileo galilei, isaac newton, leeuwenhoek, robert hooke, schwann

fundamentally, all science incorporate all same concepts and principles:
make an observation - ask a question - form a hypothesis - conduct an experiment - accept the hypothesis or reject it

deductive reasoning or inductive reasoning. quantitative or qualitative method; microscopic or microcosmic - marcography or marcoscope

independent variable or dependent variable; control group/experimental group
analyze the data and draw conclusion
idealized methodology, obligate to follow, interpretation and modification of work. a great deal of doing

theory of natural selection and evolution. strictly = stringently
do not require such formality - a logical approach and progression of thinking that resulted in tested hypothesis. so the scientifc method is closely/intimately assoicated with ...

the importance the science method is minimizing the bias or prejudice objective and standard. review and duplicate result but sometimes preconceive intentioned notions.

e.g conceive the notion of being more active

mendel for genetics. supernatural enties/proponent for creationism -> cannot refute -> intelligent design
