The History of the Discovery of Radiation and Radioactivity Introduction: Radiation can be defined as the propagation of energy through matter or space. It can be in the form of electromagnetic waves or energetic particles. Ionizing radiation has the ability to knock an electron from an atom‚ i.e. to ionize. Examples of ionizing radiation include: • alpha particles • beta particles • neutrons • gamma rays • x-rays Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize atoms in the material

The Scientific Method Introduction: In performing this experiment‚ students apprehend and grasp the concept of the “scientific method” and its segments. The scientific method is analytically preceded by researchers to answer a question(s). First‚ the analyst states the problem based on contemplations. Next‚ a hypothesis is formed‚ which means the analyst made an educated guess (solution) to the problem. Before an experiment is performed the analyst has to make a prediction. A prediction is what

Describe the scientific method of research. Be sure to identify the key components‚ providing examples of each. Use external sources to support your answer. The methods of science are the methods of all correct thinking. In all thinking we are concerned with getting and organizing knowledge‚ or with testing‚ applying‚ and developing the knowledge we have already acquired (Jones‚ 1909).

The Scientific Method This experiment was performed by using a systematic approach to identify six unknown substances. In the first half of the experiment six unknown substances were observed than measured by determining volume‚ mass and density. The second half of the experiment the unknown were placed in a test tube and tested for solubility. It was determined that the six tubes contained coffee‚ potting soil‚ brown sugar‚ baby powder‚ baking soda‚ and powdered sugar. By the use of the scientific

The Discovery of the Structure of DNA Determining the structure for DNA was one of the outstanding science achievements of the 20th century. It started in the late 1940’s‚ when scientists were aware that DNA was most likely the molecule of life‚ even though many were sceptical since it was so "simple." They also knew that DNA included different amounts of the four bases: adenine‚ thymine‚ guanine and cytosine (usually abbreviated A‚ T‚ G and C)‚ but nobody knew what the molecule might look like
