Francesco Redi, the Scientific Method I have reticently done the virtual experiment lab labeled Meats and Maggots, where in this lab I recreated Sir Francesco Redi experiment of meat rotting. He originally did this to show the life of maggots did not come from meat. That really the fly’s which arrive to the unsealed meat cussed the maggots to exist on the meat. Going throw this lab I recreated his Scientific Method step by step to see how it is he come to this discover. It was most educationally on how the method is used to prove conclusion. Francesco Redi contributed greatly to the Scientific Method by publishing step by step how he came to his conclusion and the means in which he got there. In this lab we first take observations of what it is we or studying we saw how rotting meat showed fly’s and maggots in them we the asked our self’s question obtaining to the study like why the fly’s come and what our independent verbal could be. We then later come to the idea if the meat was sealed could we stop the maggots from appearing? Next we tested this hypothesis by sealing one meat and not sealing the other. We then watched how the unsealed meat attracted fly’s and then followed by maggots; however the sealing off the flies too the other meat did not give way for thee maggots to come. Giving us or concision that maggots did not applier form the meat itself but form the fly’s having access. The scientific method proves us a solid formula for reaching concision such as these and is otherwise

    In the experiment that I performed that was based on the Redi experiment on spontaneous generation, I first observed that there were several pieces of uncovered meat. There were maggots on the pieces of meat that appeared to be older. There were flies flying around and landing on the meat. The questions that I asked about what I saw were why were there maggots on the older meat, and did the maggots have any connection with the flies. I also wondered if the meat was covered, would the flies and maggots be present.…

A hypothesis is an educated guess about how something works. These researchers then perform experiments that support the hypothesis or these experiments prove it wrong. A conclusions can be made from the investigations and experiments with the data collected and analyzed. The conclusion helps to prove or disprove validity of the hypothesis.…

    The Scientific Method

    • 364 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Scientific Method is a system devised to allow scientists to gain insight, or knowledge, on a wide range of questions about one’s behavior and other points of interest. The first step in this process is to identify a question that deserves an explanation or answer to. For example, a good indentifying question that one could use would be why did the chicken cross the road? This is a specific behavior that can be addressed and quantified. Once the individual has the question at hand, the formation of a theory is next. A theory is the best guess that one has as to why the action took place. In the example of the chicken crossing the road, a theory would be because there was food over there. Another theory would be just to get to the other side in general. Once you have the theory down, you need to create a hypothesis to test it. A hypothesis is a best guess stated in a way that you can measure the results of the claim. Referring back to the example of the chicken crossing the road, a hypothesis would be because it was hungry. A hypothesis must be restated as an Operational Definition (testable procedures that can be quantified) before testing can take place. The example of this would be: If food were visible on the other side, the chicken will cross the road to eat it.…
