Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.ACP
Suppose you are trying to get lemon juice and you have no juicer. Some people say that you can get more juice from a lemon if you roll it on a hard surface, applying pressure with the palm of your hand before you cut it and squeeze out the juice. Others claim that you will get more juice if you first heat the lemon in a microwave and then cut and squeeze it. Apply the methods of science to arrive at a technique that will give the most juice from a lemon. Carry out experiments and draw conclusions based on them. Try to generate a hypothesis to explain your results.

The role of science is to supply accurate and subjective information related to a crime, which would reflect or link up the event(s) that had been occurred
This statement is true or false?
In the course of a conversation, you observe that three of your friends like horror movies. Horror movies happen to be your favorite type of movie as well. You also know
that all of these friends were born in the same week that you were, even in the same year.
An astrology-loving friend hypothesizes that people born in that week like horror movies more than other genres of movies. You decide to use the scientific method to test
this hypothesis.
Part A
What should you do next?
O Come up with a theory to explain why movie preference is related to birth week.
O Perform experiments to test your hypothesis.
O Propose several alternative hypotheses.
O Refine your hypothesis.

- What is meant by the statement Macroscopic observations have molecular causes? Give two examples.arrow_forwardName two halogens. Look up each of your choices in a dictionary, in a book such as The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, or on the Internet, and make a list of their properties. Also list any uses of each element that are given by the source.arrow_forwardSome scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- As stated in the text, there is no one scientific method. However, making observations, formulating hypotheses, and performing experiments are generally components of “doing science.” Read the following passage, and list any observations, hypotheses, and experiments. Support your answer. Joyce and Frank arc eating raisins and drinking ginger ale. Frank accidentally drops a raisin into his ginger ale. They both notice that (lie raisin falls to the bottom of the glass. Soon, the raisin rises Lo the surface of the ginger ale, then sinks. Within a couple of minutes, it rises and sinks again. Joyce asks. “I won der why that happened?” Frank says. I don’t know, hut let’s see if it works in water.” Joyce fills a glass with water and drops the raisin into the glass. After a few minutes, Frank says, “No, it doesn’t go up and down in the water.” Joyce closely observes the raisins in the two glasses and states, “Look, there are hubbies on the raisins in the ginger ale but not on the raisins in the water.” Frank says, ‘it must be the bubbles that make the raisin rise.” Joyce asks, “OK, hut then why do they sink again?”arrow_forwardConfronted with the box shown in the diagram, you wish to discover something about its internal workings. You have no tools and cannot open the box. You pull on rope B, and it moves rather freely. When you pull on rope A, rope C appears to be pulled slightly into the box. When you pull on rope C, rope A almost disappears into the box. a. Based on these observations, construct a model for the interior mechanism of the box. b. What further experiments could you do to refine your model?arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forward
- If all scientists use the scientific method to try to arrive at a better understanding of the world, why do so many debates arise among scientists?arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes? You curl your hair with a curling iron. You curl your hair by getting a “permanent wave” at the hair salon. Ice on your sidewalk melts when you put salt on it. A glass of water evaporates overnight when it is left on the bedside table. Your steak chars if the skillet is too hot. Alcohol feels cool when it is spilled on the skin. Alcohol ignites when a flame is brought near it. Baking powder causes biscuits to rise.arrow_forwardClassify each statement as an observation, a law, or a theory. In chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed.arrow_forward
