Question

After reading about the scientific method, explain why it's important to follow the steps outlined in the scientific method carefully. How can researchers prevent mistakes and errors in their experiments? A good answer should include the following: Importance: So that the results would be due to the specific variables tested and not due to something else So that other researchers could follow the steps and carry out the same experiments Prevent mistakes: Carefully selecting variables Following the steps outlined in the procedure Carefully and accurately measuring quantitative data

Answer 1

hope this helps. Cutting a gold bar in two pieces and then putting the pieces next to each other: It is a physical change but it is not reversible as original state is not achieved again. b) burning a match and then relighting it: This is a chemical change as new substances are formed.
