- New things to investigate are continually being discovered. For example, modern medical imaging technology allowed biologists to discover structures called the "interstitium" that are now being evaluated as a new organ because of their importance in the physiology of the human body. Although they have different approaches for investigating scientific phenomena, the three types of scientific inquiry work together to help scientists understand phenomena. When something new is discovered, the first types of scientific inquiry will be [ Select ] ["hypothesis-driven experiments", "develop models/theory", "observational descriptive studies"] . Once these initial studies lay a foundation of knowledge about the new discovery, [ Select ] ["hypothesis-driven experiments", "observational descriptive studies", "develop models/theory"] can begin to test various aspects related to it. Finally,…arrow_forwardThe Scientific Revolution, starting with Copernicus in the 15th century and ending with Newton in the early 18th century, would have profound impact as it heralded the birth of modern science and the scientific method. The result was important advances in the basic sciences as well as medicine itself in Europe during this period (15th through the 18th century) that would make possible the prevention and cure of diseases. Define the Scientific Method and discuss how it relates to advances in medicine ((hint: microscopy, anatomy, chemistry and the study of specific diseases).arrow_forwardYou have learned the process of the Scientific Method since elementary school science lessons.
