 * ====Hey! So i have a facebook but other then that i don't do much on the internet. I have never used wikispaces so this is all new to me. I have a computer with internet access at home. I see this wikispace as being very useful in terms of discussions and help. I see it as a place where we can all help each other with out physics work. ==== ||

7. The role of a hypothesis in the scientific method is to give an educated guess. Theories are many positive hypothesizes that all coincide with one another. And a prediction is you best guess on what, based on the observations, you believe will be the outcome. 8. An observation is simply watching and looking at a subject. An experiment is where something is manipulated. 9. Because the scientific cycle is a better way of describing these processes. Saying the scientific cycle states that these questions and observations go around and around. You can start the cycle with an observation and you can also start with a prediction.

 * My opinion about the authors view of the scientific method is that 1. but looking around our world and observing we can learn almost anything. That's why step one is to observe. We observe not experiment. After Observation step 2. is to identify patterns and regularities. The author is stating that after we observe something and watch it in its' natural ways, we then are able to put together a pattern of how whatever we are observing acts. Step 3. is the mathematics. The example of a tree. By using the exact dimentions of the tree, a friend can better imagine the exact tree your describing. Step 4. is facts, laws, hypotheses and theories. Which is posative statements, and educated guesses. Step 5. is prediction and testing. This is where you would do an experiment and tamper with variables to try to get different outcomes. The author of this article believes that the scientific method is a cycle, that just continues reoccurring. ||

 * __ How was the process of designing and testing a clock similar to the scientific method as discussed in class? __ <span style="color: #a5456e; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The process was similar becasue my partner and i needed to come up with and idea, see what we thought would happen, try out our idea and make changes. We did this process multiple times until we got to our final version.
 * __ How did it differ? __<span style="color: #a5456e; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> It was different becasue we knew what we were trying to achieve instead of seeing what would come out of making a pendulum clock.
 * __ What "steps" in the scientific process were present and which were missing? __ <span style="color: #a5456e; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The steps of observation and prediction and experament were present in this lab. The hypothesis part was not so much because we knew what we were trying to achieve.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;"> __ Was there a part of the activity that is not a part of the scientfic process? __ <span style="color: #a5456e; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Becasue we knew what we were trying to achieve we didnt try to observe to get data that would prove anything.

Acceleration and Projection Reflection: How does the height of firing of a projectile affect the time to hit the ground? The height of an object does not affect the firing distance of an object. The height of the projectile will only affect the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. How does it affect the distance the projectile travels? The height of the projectile wont effect the distance of the projectile because the angle of the porjectile would affect the distance. How does the horizontal speed of a projectile affect the time to hit the ground? The horizontal speed affects how far the object will travel. How does it affect the distance the projectile travels? The horizontal speed of the object affects how far the object will travel becasue the speed of the object determines how far the object will go. How does the vertical speed of a projectile affect the time to hit the ground? The vertical speed affects how far the object will travel upwards, therefore affecting how long it will take to hit the ground. The faster the object is traveling upwards the longer it will take for the object to come back down. How does it affect the distance the projectile travels? The angle of the objects affects the distance of the projectile. Acceleration Lab

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">Calorimetry Reflection By heating the parifan wax, you would have a positive increase. The wax cooling down would be negative and the difference would be in the way you took the measurements of the cooling.
