Criterias of Science by Michael Ee https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj In groups, read your assigned Criteria of Science and determine which statement is a scientific one by discussing in your groups. en-us 2020-03-30 10:16:43 UTC 2020-04-03 08:17:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9d0.png Jayson, Joan, Prashant, Justin https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490437853 It's scientific to state that green plans will grow towards light and unscientific to state that walking under a ladder will cause a bad luck. The results of repeated observations and/or experiments concerning the phenoma of green plants growing towards light are reasonably the same when performed and repeated in various investigations. However, the statement regarding bad luck being caused by walking under a ladder has not been subjected to repeated observations or experiments by competent investigators. ]]> 2020-04-03 07:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490437853 Life comes from life and cannot come from non-life. https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490437902 Non scientific: The Bermuda Triangle causes ships and planes to sink and disappear.

Scientific: Life comes from life and cannot come from non-life.

We believe this statement is a scientific one. This is because the Bermuda triangle is a supernatural event and occurrence which dosnt have scientific backing and evidence. On the other hand the above statement does and has been proven from scientific experiments. ]]> 2020-04-03 07:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490437902 Joshua, Dongjun and Lynn lynnkhooweelin https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490438987 Without sunlight (or comparable artificial light), green plants will die is the scientific statement. If we use our own reasoning, we will find that this theory has a potential scientific reasoning behind it. Plants have chlorophyll, allowing them to make food in the presence of sunlight which is needed for their survival.

However, when it comes to horoscopes, it has the same basis as mere speculations. Horoscopes tend to be like fortune telling in which feel-good statements are shown to the reader. There is no scientific theory and reasoning behind the horoscopes. ]]> 2020-04-03 07:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490438987 Khoa, Siddique, Jaedon jaedon_see_jie_den https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490439385 It is scientific to say that some plants do eat meat, eg. Venus Flytrap. It has been observed that it does so.

With a rod, Moses parted the sea so his people could cross to the other side: not a scientific statement - based on superstition and belief]]> 2020-04-03 07:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490441181 The number of human chromosomes was once "known" to be 48, but is now considered to be 46. https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490441385 This is a scientific statement. This is because the previous scientific belief of humans having 48 chromosomes was disproved after tentative correction and revision, improving upon the previous mistakes to create a more solid, concrete and correct theory of humans having 46 chromosomes instead. Thus, due to the theory's ability to change, it is a scientific statement.]]> 2020-04-03 07:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490441385 Extra Terrestrial Beings jaedon_see_jie_den https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490442967 It is not a scientific statement to state that extra-terrestrial beings have visited Earth, because there is no visual proof and it has not been observed before. ]]> 2020-04-03 07:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490442967 Living things were once grouped into 2 major groups, then 3, then 4, and now 5, because the criteria used for classifying living things have changed. https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490446585 This is a scientific statement. This is because the previous scientific belief of living things being grouped into 2, 3 and 4 major groups was disproved after tentative correction and revision, improving upon the previous mistakes to create a more solid, concrete and correct theory of there being 5 major groups instead. Thus, due to the theory's ability to change, it is a scientific statement.]]> 2020-04-03 07:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490446585 We know that the world began about 6000 years ago, and nothing will change that. naishujunclara https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490447181 This is not a scientific statement as scientific theories are subject to revision and correction, however, this statement makes it seem that this information is final and cannot be subject to any change. ]]> 2020-04-03 07:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490447181 At one time, it was thought the heart pumped blood out of a large container as an "open system", but now it is known that blood "circulates" in a closed system. https://padlet.com/michael_ee/b3ompap8a5hj/wish/490447647 This is a scientific statement. This is because the previous scientific belief of blood circulating in an 'open' system was disproved after tentative correction and revision, improving upon the previous mistakes to create a more solid, concrete and correct theory of blood circulating in a 'closed' system instead.
