The table has 3 columns and 4 rows. The columns are headed: Nature of Science Characteristic, Sample Student Friendly Definition, and Sample Doctor Snow and slash or Evidence! example. The row-wise entries are as follows: Row 1: Nature of Science Characteristic: Hash 1 Scientific Investigations Use a Variety of Methods. Sample Student Friendly Definition: We use questions and more than one way to answer questions to do science. Sample Doctor Snow and slash or Evidence! example: Doctor Snow’s question: What is causing cholera and how to stop it. Doctor Snow finding clues through maps, observations, interviews. Doctor Snow deciding to interview people when he doesn’t see anything under his microscope. Row 2: Nature of Science Characteristic: Hash 2 Scientific Knowledge is Based on Empirical Evidence. Sample Student Friendly Definition: Scientists look for clues and patterns with tools. Sample Doctor Snow and slash or Evidence! example: Doctor Snow uses maps to track who got sick. Doctor Snow looking at the water under the microscope. Row 3: Nature of Science Characteristic: Hash 3 Scientific Knowledge is Open to Revision in Light of New Evidence. Sample Student Friendly Definition: We can change how we explain things in science if we want when we get new information or evidence. Sample Doctor Snow and slash or Evidence! example: Cholera being caused by bad air changes to being caused by bad water. Row 4: Nature of Science Characteristic: Hash 7 Science is a Human Endeavor. Sample Student Friendly Definition: Anyone can become a scientist. Science is teamwork and it is everywhere. Scientists think outside the box. Sample Doctor Snow and slash or Evidence! example: Doctor Snow grew up poor in a big family. Doctor Snow worked with Rev. Henry Whitehead page 38 to find cholera’s cause. Doctor Snow interviewed people when the microscope didn’t show anything. Doctor Snow suggested taking the handle off the pump to prevent people from drinking the water.Sample Nature of Science Responses. Source. Figure is the creation of the author
