Scientific approach Two forms: Discovery science (descriptive) Hypothesis-driven science (specific)

Discovery science Finds general patterns (behavior, structure). Makes correlations (climate to adaptations). Describes Life (human genome project, mammals). INDUCTIVE REASONING: From a large number of observations to a specific conclusion. Happens before a particular question is asked

Examples of Discovery Science: DNA analysis Human genome project Climate Models Nuclear Reactions Impacts of a volcano

Hypothesis-driven science Is a formal process of inquiry that isolates variables (control, independent variable, response, dependent variable). The question is asked first. Hypothesis is based on previous knowledge. Hypothesis comes BEFORE the actual experiment and observation. DEDUCTIVE REASONING: From general observations to a specific expected results. Follows a formal process.
