Scientific Method Experimentation

The scientific method It is a method that allows, through observation and experimentation, to reach a logical conclusion that can become a physical or scientific law.

The scientific method must meet the following specifications:

Experimentation of the scientific method:

Capillarity experiment

1.- observation
When it rains, it can be seen that through the wires or lines of a clothesline the water is passed from one place to the other or to the center of the bow of the string, emptying the place where it is tied and filling the dry part where the string is tied. other tip

2.- Induction
You will notice that the phenomenon occurs when the water is in one point and when it slides in the thread it moves to the other side.

3.- Hypothesis
After watching it over and over again, you come to the conclusion that you can imitate it.

4.- Experimentation
You put a thread or cloth in a glass of water and you will see that after a while the water passes through the fibers of the thread or cloth and passes to the other glass.

5.- Antithesis, and / or demonstration
You seek that there is no other cause for what you have seen to happen and you repeat it with different materials.

6.- Thesis
You reach a conclusion, in which due to the characteristics of the materials and the physical reaction, this experiment will be repeated indefinitely.

7.- Law
As there is no reaction or experiment that proves the inconsistency of the experiment and there is no different reaction, a law is formulated.

School experimentation with ice, salt and wool.

The process is related to thermodynamics, in which ice melts and freezes rapidly.

Materials:

• 1 string of wool
• 1 glass with water
• 1 ice cube
• 1 plate of salt

Processes:

• First.- It is placed on ice in the glass with water
• Second.- The string is wetted and placed on the ice
• Third.- Salt is sprinkled in abundance on the string, leaving the string between the salt and the ice
• Bedroom.- Wait a minute and the string will stick because it has melted into the ice cube.

The process is that the effect of salt on ice is to accelerate its melting, independently of the temperature and subsequently the string is introduced into the melted part of the ice and fixed again at the freeze.
