Question

Dillon is conducting a survey about whether or not people like a traffic law that is being passed.Can he publish his findings as a scientific study because he collected information?

Answer 1

Using the scientific method, a researcher conducts a study in five phases: asking a question, researching existing sources, formulating a hypothesis, conducting a study, and drawing conclusions. Since Dillon only took a survey, I would say that while he did some research it is limited and is not classified as scientific.
I'm not certain, I am in Chemistry myself right now so I would get a second opinion...
Hope this helps nonetheless!:)

Answer 2

The answer is: No, because his information is subjective.

Survey about whether or not people like something is not objective (fact) and cannot be published.

The laws of science are statements that describe or predict a range of phenomena as they appear in nature.

Laws explain facts determined by experiment.

Laws do not have absolute certainty and be changed by future experiments and observations.
