The document describes the basic steps of the scientific method as:
1) Ask a question about a problem that can be solved through experimentation.
2) Conduct research to gather information about possible explanations.
3) Form a hypothesis by making a testable prediction about the answer.
4) Design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis.
5) Analyze the results and data from the experiment.
6) Draw a conclusion about whether the results support or reject the hypothesis.
7) Communicate the results to others.

The Scientific Method
Steps in the Scientific Method
There is a great deal of variation in the specific techniques scientists use explore the natural world. However, the following steps characterize the majority of scientific investigations:
Step 1: Make observations
Step 2: Propose a hypothesis to explain observations
Step 3: Test the hypothesis with further observations or experiments
Step 4: Analyze data
Step 5: State conclusions about hypothesis based on data analysis
Each of these steps is explained briefly below, and in more detail later in this section.
Step 1: Make observations
A scientific inquiry typically starts with observations. Often, simple observations will trigger a question in the researcher's mind.
Example: A biologist frequently sees monarch caterpillars feeding on milkweed plants, but rarely sees them feeding on other types of plants. She wonders if it is because the caterpillars prefer milkweed over other food choices.
Step 2: Propose a hypothesis
The researcher develops a hypothesis (singular) or hypotheses (plural) to explain these observations. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation of a phenomenon or observation(s) that can be supported or falsified by further observations or experimentation.
Example: The researcher hypothesizes that monarch caterpillars prefer to feed on milkweed compared to other common plants. (Notice how the hypothesis is a statement, not a question as in step 1.)
Step 3: Test the hypothesis
The researcher makes further observations and/or may design an experimentto test the hypothesis. An experiment is a controlled situation created by a researcher to test the validity of a hypothesis. Whether further observations or an experiment is used to test the hypothesis will depend on the nature of the question and the practicality of manipulating the factors involved.
Example: The researcher sets up an experiment in the lab in which a number of monarch caterpillars are given a choice between milkweed and a number of other common plants to feed on.
Step 4: Analyze data
The researchersummarizes and analyzes the information, or data, generated by these further observations or experiments.
Example: In her experiment, milkweed was chosen by caterpillars 9 times out of 10 over all other plant selections.
Step 5: State conclusions
The researcher interprets the results of experiments or observations and forms conclusions about the meaning of these results. These conclusions are generally expressed as probability statements about their hypothesis.
Example: She concludes that when given a choice, 90 percent of monarch caterpillars prefer to feed on milkweed over other common plants.
Often, the results of one scientific study will raise questions that may be addressed in subsequent research. For example, the above study might lead the researcher to wonder why monarchs seem to prefer to feed on milkweed, and she may plan additional experiments to explore this question. For example, perhaps the milkweed has higher ...

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

investigate a natural occurrence.
i p!
g T As you study science you'll probably come
arnin across many different ways of describing the
Le steps of the Scientific Method. Simple versions
describe just a few steps while other versions are
very detailed and can list as many more steps.
However, they all use the same basic process.
3. Let's take a closer
look at these steps
and the vocabulary
you will need to
understand before
you start a science
project.
4. Question

5. Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Question: Identify a problem.
Question
Ask a question about the
problem that can be solved
through experimentation.
6. Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Question
EXAMPLE
You've noticed a problem – your favorite Spider plants are
looking droopy. The leaves are wilted and turning yellow.
You're curious about why this has happened. You want to
solve this mystery so you can help your plants be healthy.
You might ask a question like: “What is causing my plants
to wilt?”
7. Steps of the Scientific Method
2. Research: Spend some time
Research
making observations. Study your
subject and take notes. Research
your topic using books, searching
online, and by talking with people.
Collect information to help you
figure out the most likely solution.
8. Steps of the Scientific Method
2. Research
EXAMPLE
You study your plants and make several observations
about them. You notice they are all equally wilted. You see
that the oldest leaves have yellowed the most. You check
the soil and find that it's very dry.
You browse through a plant care book. You also search the
internet, looking for articles about “wilted yellow leaves”.
You talk to owner of a greenhouse about the condition of
your plants. Now you've collected a good amount of
information about the possible causes of wilted leaves.
9. Steps of the Scientific Method
3. Hypothesis: Review your
Hypothesis
research and use your critical
thinking skills to predict a
possible answer to your
question. Write it as an “If /
then” statement. A hypothesis
must be testable.
10. Steps of the Scientific Method
3. Hypothesis
EXAMPLE
You've learned from your research that water is very important
to plant health and you remember from your observations that
the soil around your plant was very dry. You also realize that
you've not been watering the plant regularly.
You form a hypothesis about what might be causing the plant
to wilt and write it as a testable prediction – “If my plant
receives the appropriate amount of water then it will stop
wilting.” This is a testable hypothesis – you can give the plants
water and watch what happens.
11. Steps of the Scientific Method
4. Experiment: Develop an
Experiment
experiment to test your hypothesis.
Make a list of materials and the
actions you'll perform – these
details are called the procedure, it's
the plan you'll follow. To create a
good experiment you must design it
so that the results are measurable.
12. Steps of the Scientific Method
4. Experiment
EXAMPLE
To test your hypothesis you decide to give your three plants a
different amount of water and count how many leaves are wilted
each day for two weeks. You give Plant A two cups of water a
day, Plant B one cup of water a day, and Plant C no water at all.
The amount of water they receive will be the only difference
between the plants. You keep all the other conditions the same
– sunlight, temperature, fertilizer, etc.
You water and observe the plants each day, write detailed notes
and take pictures for your records. It's important to collect
accurate data during your experiment.
13. Steps of the Scientific Method
5. Analyze: Look back through all
Analyze
of the data you've collected
during the experiment. If you
need to you can modify the
procedure and retest. You may
want to confirm the results by
repeating the experiment.
14. Steps of the Scientific Method
5. Analyze
EXAMPLE
You review all the data you've collected – a record of each
time you watered the plants, a daily journal describing how
they looked, a count of how many leaves on each plant are
wilted each day, and photographs of the plants.
You examine all of this information to see if the water has
made a difference in the health of the plant.
At this point you could repeat the experiment with another set
of plants and see if you get the same results, this is a way to
see if the experiment is valid.
15. Steps of the Scientific Method
6. Conclusion: Write a
Conclusion
statement about whether the
results of your experiment
reject or support your
hypothesis. Suggest ways to
study the problem further or
improve the experiment.
16. Steps of the Scientific Method
6. Conclusion
EXAMPLE
You've determined that Plant B, which received one cup of
water per day, has improved the most. It's leaves are no longer
wilted and the yellowing has stopped. Plant A, which received
two cups, improved some. Although its leaves are no longer
wilted they are still turning yellow. Plant C, which received no
water, continued to wilt, turned brown, and the leaves fell off.
You determine that the results support your hypothesis – the
plants that received water have no wilting. You write all of
these conclusions down. You also include ideas about further
experiments that could be done, such as testing to see if too
much water could be the cause of yellow leaves on Plant A.
17. Steps of the Scientific Method
7. Communicate: Prepare a
Communicate
presentation to share with other
people. You can use documents,
photos, videos, charts, and model
displays. Expect to answer
questions from the audience.
18. Steps of the Scientific Method
7. Communicate
EXAMPLE
You decide to share your experiences with your science class
so you prepare a report to pass out. It includes the details of
your experiment – the list of materials, the procedures, and the
conditions you kept the same. This information will allow other
people to repeat your experiment if they want.
You also create a display board to highlight some of your
observations. It has pictures of the plants on day 1, 7, and 14
and a chart showing the number of wilted leaves you counted
each day. This is a way of communicating what you've learned
through the scientific process.
