GNED 1103 - Chapter 04 - The Scientific method - Part 2

Jordan Kidney's GNED 1103

Ready to dive into the fascinating world of scientific exploration and inquiry? We promise to keep it light, relatable, and engaging as we navigate through key scientific concepts like variables, cause and effect, correlation, and causality. Picture yourself baking a cake while learning how tweaking a variable can create a ripple effect on the result. Just like adding a pinch of sugar or altering the baking time can change the cake's taste and texture, you'll discover how the interplay between independent and dependent variables can influence the outcome of a scientific experiment. So, be sure to put on your detective hat as we embark on this fun and enlightening journey!
Moving on, we'll be cracking the code of correlation and causation, debunking myths and unearthing hidden truths. Ever wondered if ice cream sales and sunglasses purchases are connected? Well, we're going to delve into that, highlighting that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. As we play around with independent, dependent, and controlled variables, you'll unfold how these elements construct cause and effect relationships in scientific experiments. So, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to deepen your understanding of the scientific method. This podcast promises to be a thrilling ride into the intriguing world of scientific research and inquiry!
