One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin.
It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate, and provoke study, and when you follow the lame, uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly … plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard-of contradictions.
The color is repellant, almost revolting; a smouldering, unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight.

Which scenario represents a scientific investigation?
a) A measurement of growth patterns of crystals in space.
b) A selection of favorite songs in a survey.
c) A questionnaire on the quality of care in a hospital.
d) A survey on the best options for reducing air pollution.
The scenario that represents a scientific investigation is a) A measurement of growth patterns of crystals in space. Scientific investigations involve systematic and empirical study to answer questions or test hypotheses using scientific methods. In this scenario, measuring growth patterns of crystals in space involves gathering data, conducting controlled experiments, and analyzing results to understand and explain phenomenon.
What is empirical evidence?
a) A prediction of test results before experiment.
b) A retest of experimental results to make them reliable.
c) A conclusion derived from evidence and logical reasoning.
d) Knowledge gained by observation or measurement.
Empirical evidence refers to d) knowledge gained by observation or measurement. It involves using direct or indirect observation, experimentation, or other forms of data collection to support or refute a hypothesis or claim. Empirical evidence is rooted in real-world observations and is considered crucial in scientific research and inquiry.
A magazine advertises a protein shake that claims it can help you gain muscle. The fine print at the bottom of the screen says "results are not typical."
Why is this claim considered pseudoscience?
a) Pictures should be included in their results.
b) The information was delivered in a magazine.
c) The shake contents were not listed in the advertisement.
d) The results do not support the claim's conclusion.
The claim is considered pseudoscience because d) the results do not support the claim's conclusion. The statement that "results are not typical" suggests that the advertised protein shake may not actually deliver the promised results of helping one gain muscle. In pseudoscience, claims are not supported by empirical evidence or scientific research, and instead rely on unsubstantiated or exaggerated claims. By including the disclaimer "results are not typical," it implies that the actual outcomes may be significantly different from what is being promoted, thereby undermining the scientific validity of the claim.
Which step of the scientific method involves making an inference?
a) retest by other scientists
b) do background research
c) test with an experiment
d) draw a conclusion
The step of the scientific method that involves making an inference is d) draw a conclusion. During this step, scientists analyze and interpret the data collected from experiments or observations to draw conclusions about the phenomena being studied. Inferences are made based on the evidence and observations to form logical explanations or predictions.
A student wants to know which part of his local beach contains the most turtle nests during nesting season. He researches turtle nesting and plans his experiment. Once his experiment is completed, he gathers his evidence and analyzes it to form a conclusion.
What part of the scientific method is he missing from this investigation?
a) ask a question.
b) construct a hypothesis.
c) do background research.
d) analyze the evidence.
Based on the given information, it appears that the student is missing the step of b) construct a hypothesis in their investigation. The scientific method typically involves formulating a hypothesis, which is a testable explanation or prediction based on prior knowledge or observations. A hypothesis serves as the basis for designing an experiment and gathering data to either support or refute it. While the student is conducting research and analyzing evidence, the information doesn't indicate a clear formulation of a hypothesis as part
