Scientific Method Post

1. It is possible that the student keeps falling asleep from the lack of caffeine in his system.

2. Test:

a. To test the hypothesis out I would bring in a cup of Cold Brew iced coffee from Starbucks as it is a high caffeine item from the store. I am altering conditions by introducing caffeine into the student's system.

b. If the students stays awake then the hypothesis would be supported.

c. If the student fell asleep after the introduction of caffeine in his system then the hypothesis would be proven false.

3. To provide an untestable, unfalsifiable example I would say that 5th-dimensional beings with untrackable technology were undetectably putting the student to sleep through the use of unreadable. untrackable, invisible sleeping darts causing the student to go to sleep.

    Hello,
    I feel like your hypothesis was a strong one. The student could very well have a lack of caffeine in his system and your method of testing it out would definitely show if your hypothesis was falsifiable. The only thing that I would change is using the word "proven" because there is no proof in science as professor spoke of. Great post otherwise.

    I dig your approach. What if the student, however, needed even more caffeine than Starbucks could offer? So, your hypothesis still stands, he could just need a LOT of caffeine.

    Good hypothesis thinking the student needs caffeine, But caffeine would only keep the student awake and alert for a period of time what happens when the caffeine then wares off?

    Good hypothesis and test. I think your untestable example is great! Very creative way to make something unfalsiable and untestable.

    Testable Hypothesis (5/5) - Good. Straight-forward.
    Test (5/5)
    Support (5/5)
    Falsify (5/5)
    Untestable Hypothesis (10/10) - :-) Good! You obviously got the point on being "undetectable".

    Great hypothesis, using caffeine to test weather or not the student will stay awake during class. Altering the hypothesis with caffeine can also support your hypothesis. The untestable and unfalsifiable explanation was creative.

1. Heat. This environmental stress negatively impacts survival by causing dehydration to the human body. It disrupts homeostasis as too much heat can cause permanent brain damage, and the shutting down of vital body parts. This is why internally humans search for shade when it is too hot outside as to cool down, and why water is so important in hot temperatures. We can see this with areas like Africa and areas that are close to the Earth's equator. In Africa for example the average temperature in a country like Ethiopia is around 93 degrees. And Africa has also seen some of the most extreme records in heat at 136 degrees in Libya. Heat can be seen as the environmental stress into why the African race has slim tall bodies, reducing their surface area in order to escape heat. Short Term 2. A. Short Term: For short term humans have the ability to adapt by releasing sweat or perspiration across ones body in order to cool it down. Facultative B. Facultative: For facult...
