	Doing Science
	Recognize elements of the scientific method based on their description in your textbook.
	A skillful scientist can use a well-asked question to fashion a testable ____________.
	Place the following activities in their correct order: designing an experiment that yields data, deciding how much data to collect, running the experiment that generates the data, collecting the data, interpreting the data to validate or discredit a model
	“Whales communicate over many miles using different frequencies of sound.” Would this statement be best described as a specific numerical item of data? a large set of data items? an interpretation of many large sets of data items? an initial hypothesis regarding how whales might communicate? a conclusion reached as a result of logical thought about communication?
2.2	Rational Experimentation: Two Examples
	The Effect of Sleep on Disease Resistance

	“A sleep-deprived individual has antibody levels that are exactly 1/3 as high as those of a normal individual.” What sort of statement is this? Is it an example of data? Or is it an interpretation of data?
	Experimenting with Prayer
	Which of the following activities would not be included in the scientific method? validating information, thinking about problems, experimenting, observing results, changing data
	Prayer for a cardiac patient will reduce the severity of hospital intervention during the patient’s recovery. This statement is an example of a(n) ____________.
