FALSIFIABLE coins, roulette wheel/ball.
Dragonflies that cross oceans: simple observations lead to breathtaking discoveries
4:30-5:30 Maldives island chain: hundreds of Globe Skimmers, no fresh water
7:20 against monsoon, but up in
NE monsoon.
9:40 to Africa 16000 km circuit, 4 generations.
Pradaxa commercial: "in a clinical trial... proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke"
Moderate alcohol? Resveratrol.
EMPIRICAL=based on observation/experience; rational=reason/logic
experiment
placebo: filler starch/lactose in tablets, 100 viruses (rhinovirus, adenovirus) cause cold
Treatments are also divided
BEFORE and
AFTER exposure to virus. The
BEFORE also had no treatment!
predictions
DoQ "if ... then" hypo -> predictions
What's

TRIAL & error.
Bring
ECHINACEA common name Coneflower!
SEEDS where?
COMPASS sunflower face sun?
placebo
GASTRIC freezing: need control group (no treatment)
Or larger sample:
SIZE matters; e.g. males in bio class.
controls
1 variable, e.g. cancer drug, groups should be same age.
WHY: another variable: before & after cold?
placebo: filler like starch/lactose for tablets, 100 viruses (rhinovirus, adenoviruses) can cause cold
hypothesis
or chicken soup/ginseng
theory
Evo
JUST a theory? climate?
correlation
Drink water before death; sit in front of class:
SUPERSTITION flu shot!
Graph: the proportion here is dependent varaible. Or use bar graph.
Rat superstition/correlation (1.3): push lever, 10 sec, backflip -> food!
