Date: August 27, 2010 Reading Report no: 1What is Theory?
Important Points:
The scientific method of theory is a broad explanation of a fact that is testable and has a lot of evidence. Theories can be made false. Hypothesis and theories are part of the scientific method. We learnt a little about the scientific method, while learning about it, we discussed about experiments. Experiments are performed to test our hypothesis, hypothesis support theories.
Reaction:
Scientists define theory as a broad explanation of a fact that is testable. Scientists do experiments to find hypothesis to support their theories. Very few theories are made into laws, because theories can never be proven, and can always be revised. I feel my thoughts and doubts about theory, I had before are cleared. My doubts about scientific method are still not clear.

I think that the "We learnt a little about the scientific method, while learning about it, we discussed about experiments" sentence does not belong to the Important Points section. I think it should go to the Reaction section(showing your feelings and doubts).
ReplyDeleteYou also somehow put some mainpoint sentences in the reaction section.
ReplyDeleteI think the same as Chris that the sentance [We learnt a little about the scientific method, while learning about it, we discussed about experiments] should not be in important point becouse its not related to the topic
