Question

applying rules for scientific reasoning
which procedures are examples of descartess rules for scientific reasoning? check all that apply.

• keeping a detailed record of the procedure and results of a scientific experiment
• conducting an experiment to confirm the effects of gravity on earth
• accepting all of descartess theories as truth
• answering a math problem using mental mathematics
• solving an expression in steps using the order of operations

Explanation:

Descartes' rules for scientific reasoning emphasize systematic, rational - based inquiry. Keeping records helps in verification and reproducibility. Conducting experiments to confirm natural phenomena like gravity follows a rational - empirical approach. Accepting theories without proof goes against his method. Solving math problems using mental math and order of operations is more about mathematical procedures rather than Descartes' scientific reasoning rules.

Answer:

• Keeping a detailed record of the procedure and results of a scientific experiment
• Conducting an experiment to confirm the effects of gravity on Earth
