Question

revisión de la investigación científica

un socio de su grupo científico quiere investigar los sedimentos en un lago y en la costa para su experimento. ¿qué paso de investigación científica debería realizar primero a continuación?

a. describir cómo presentar sus hallazgos a su maestro y compañeros de clase.
b. describir cómo recopilar datos que puedan respaldar o refutar su hipótesis.
c. describir de qué manera proporcionará una explicación de sus resultados.

🆕 New Concept Discovered: Scientific Method Steps
The ordered path scientists use to solve problems.

Step 1: Translate and analyze the problem

Let's translate the text in the image to understand what is being asked:

• Title: Revisión de la investigación científica (Review of scientific research)
• Question: Dionisio tiene una pregunta científica que quiere investigar. Ha formulado una hipótesis y ha diseñado un experimento. ¿Qué paso de investigación científica debería realizar Dionisio a continuación? (Dionisio has a scientific question he wants to investigate. He has formulated a hypothesis and designed an experiment. What step of scientific research should Dionisio perform next?)

The options are:

• A: Dionisio debe presentar sus hallazgos a su familia y compañeros de clase. (Dionisio should present his findings to his family and classmates.)
• B: Dionisio debe recopilar datos que puedan respaldar o refutar su hipótesis. (Dionisio should collect data that can support or refute his hypothesis.)
• C: Dionisio debería proporcionar una explicación de sus resultados. (Dionisio should provide an explanation of his results.)

Step 2: Identify the current stage in the Scientific Method

The scientific method follows a logical sequence of steps to find answers:

1. Observation / Question: Identify a problem or ask a question.
2. Hypothesis: Formulate a testable explanation.
3. Experiment Design: Plan a procedure to test the hypothesis.
4. Conducting the Experiment & Data Collection: Run the experiment to gather observations and measurements (data).
5. Analysis & Conclusion: Analyze the collected data to see if it supports or refutes the hypothesis.
6. Communication: Share the results with others.

Dionisio has already completed the first three steps: he has a question, a hypothesis, and an experimental design.

Step 3: Determine the next logical step

Since Dionisio has just finished designing his experiment, his next active step is to actually run the experiment and collect data (Option B).

He cannot explain his results (Option C) or present his findings (Option A) yet, because he has not actually performed the experiment to get any results or findings.

Answer:

B (Dionisio debe recopilar datos que puedan respaldar o refutar su hipótesis.)
