  • I think it's important to say, that the "truth" is something very dynamic. Even if we think we know how something is working (proven with experiments), we can always be proven wrong (keep in mind that our truth has often a p value of 0.05-0.01 and technology improves constantly to discover new thing). Our knowledge of science is just a snapshot, and it will advance in the future. I think it's very importent to think critically and also keep questioning the "thinks we know".

  • What you said about Galilio is half right and half wrong... Somethings don't always fall at the same rate. An example is when you drop a piece of paper and a 3 pound weight, the weight would drop first because of air resistance. So, somethings don't fall at the same rate.

  • so cool :D thank you...

  • I was just explaining this to a 4th grader in my after school program and her study sheet did not make it easy to understand the differences and importance of independent and dependent variables. I showed her using the classic balls of different sizes and hitting a ball with a foam hockey stick and a plastic bat...I hope I made it easier and didn't confuse her.

    I wasn't thinking how the hypothesis itself reveals your variables so it seems I neglected the easiest explanation, thanks for that.
