Lesson 01 Write up Student Name: Nayeli Montenegro Instructions: The following questions are the same questions that you were to answer as you completed each section of Lesson 01 Laboratory. Therefore, place the answers (results) derived from conducting the experiments and completing the questions in Lesson 01 to the corresponding question list below on the write up form. (Note, since the questions are the same as those within the Laboratory Lesson the instruction used to complete each question within the Lesson also applies to following questions.) The number of points each question is worth is listed at the end of the question. Student may condense the write-up by removing unused lines or space but do not remove the questions. If you have to use a word processor other than word, save the write-up as a .pdf file (See Syllabus for more information) NOTICE QUESTION NUMBER ONE (OBSERVATION) IS ALREADY ANSWERED FOR YOU JUST AS IT WAS IN THE UNIT SO AN ANSWER IS NOT REQUIRED. A Process for Seeking Truth: Scientific Approach 1. Observation: Answer: You switch your flashlight on but it does not work. 2. List your hypothesis for the observation. 2 Points a. Explanation - The batteries in the flashlight are dead. Which is important, the battery on a flashlight is the primary power source of mostly all flashlights. b. Test - To test out if the batteries are the problem, just simply replace the old batteries with new ones. c. Prediction - Most of the time the batteries are just old and will need to be replaced. It must be the problem on the flashlight. d. Combine a. – c. into one statement as the Hypothesis. - The flashlight does not turn on; we simply replace the batteries with a new pair. Which now replacing the batteries the flashlight will most likely work now.
3. List and describe your Experimental Design used to test the hypothesis. (Be specific and include all parts of the design.) This is the instructions to the experiment and should contain materials, method, data, control and results. 3 Points      a. materials - Flashlight. - New batteries. - A replacement bulb just in case. - Screwdriver to open the flashlight. - Possibly a replacement switch.      b. method - Make sure flashlight is turned off. - Get all materials needed together. - Open battery compartment with screwdriver if it's needed. - Remove the old, defected batteries. - Insert new batteries into the flashlight. - Close the battery compartment. - Turn the flashlight on. - Make sure the flashlight is showing light and working correctly.      c. data - Record data on the flashlight. Rather it turned on with new batteries installed or if there may be a different issue with the flashlight.      d.  control - Make sure the batteries are not the problem. If the old batteries are dead, then the new batteries should resolve the issue. If the flashlight still does not work, test the bulb or look for loose connections or faulty wiring.       e. results - If the flashlight works after replacing the batteries, then the old batteries were indeed dead.
4. List your Conclusion. 1 Point - In conclusion, because of the batteries being dead there were a few issues with the flashlight. Once the batteries have been replaced flashlight works perfectly fine. 5 List the varible(s) in the experiment. Why are these designated a variable(s)? 2 Points - Been a lose bulb. (possibly been dropped a few times) - Defected wires. (water damaged could have caused defected wires) - Defected switch button. (possibly pressed in too hard or broken piece) 6. List the Invariable(s) in the experiment. Why are these designated as invariable(s)? 2 Points - If there was completely damaged due to falls, water damage etc. The can be no changes done at times. Part II: Data: Collecting; Processing; Presenting; Interpreting Record and Process Data (Record each bean length in the groups raking them form shortest to longest.) 1. List the data collected for the following groups. 1 Point Group 1:  bean name Coffee Beans length of each bean - 1cm - 2cm - 2cm Group 2:  bean name: Jelly Beans length each of bean
