As you learn to view the world as an environmental scientist, it will become important that you learn to use the language of environmental science. There are some challenges
associated with science vocabulary because many of the words that are used in a technical sense might also be used in everyday language. This week, consider the terms
flame test
and
metal ions

Good day everyone, As a student of science over the course of time science itself has not really changed it was more of how we get from point A to point B and the research availability. Qualitative analysis relies on thick description and deep understanding of the subject being researched, obtained from in-depth interviews, observations, and/or close readings of text. This type of research typically looks at case studies and can be used to understand local phenomena. However, hypothesis is the crucial part to determine scientific facts. This is conducted through Quantitative thinking to where science is proven through statistical analysis with use of proven theories conducted. I have notice through my years of college in science some students including myself in the beginning that both are the same when they are not. Some people that may understand science or has used the word in other non-
science jobs including business projections studies. As an environmental scientist to prove anything to anyone even if they don’t have full
understanding a hypothesis and quantitative analyzing is crucial. The reprt can be written in a qualitative means to which most people may understand the terms conducted.
