With Discovery Science, scientist observe and describe objects, and with Hypothesis based Science, scientist make a hypothesis, make deductions and then test the predictions. In our everyday lives we use Hypothesis based science to solve many different problems.
There is a criterion that is needed in order to have a hypothesis-based scientific study. To start you must have an observation and generalizations from discovery science. You must have questions and tentative answers to the questions. You must also have deductions that will lead you to predictions. And lastly be able to test the predictions …show more content…
A case study of hypothesis-based science is both different from and similar to a case study from every day life. The two are similar in many ways. Both studies require that you make an observation as well as make a hypothesis from the observation. They are also similar in the fact that they both need a prediction, and both predictions needed to be tested in order to see if they are falsiable. The two are also very different from each other in other aspects. A hypothesis based science study needs to have two different groups of subjects; an example would be an experimental group and a control group. Hypothesis based science also needs to factor in sample size.
With a case study from every day life there are a lot less factors that you have to be concerned with. The basic differences between the two are as follows:
Everyday Life
-Hypothesize using testable and falsifiable hypotheses
-are predicted by using If-Then statements
-Test predictions
-Conclude the findings
Hypothesis Based Science
-The above steps but with tighter regulations
-Experimental and control groups are required
-Sample size must be large enough to generalize results
-Must be an experimental
