USE YOUR OWN WORDS. Each question must have a three sentence long answer! 1. If there is not one scientific method, then what do all scientists have in common?
2. How is a theory similar to and different from a law?
3. What is the difference between data and evidence?
4. Why do scientists use models, and why do all models have limitations?
5. What makes a good scientific question?ANSWER Why do scientific ideas sometimes change?

1. Scientists use experimentation and careful observation to collect evidence to support those explanations. Although there is no single scientific method, all types of scientists use the eight science and engineering practices in different orders and combinations to do their work.

2. In simplest terms, a law predicts what happens while a theory proposes why. A theory will never grow up into a law, though the development of one often triggers progress on the other

3.Data is just data and has no intrinsic meaning on its own. Evidence has to be evidence for or of something; an argument, an opinion, a viewpoint or a hypothesis. The evidence you use depends on your argument.

4.All models have limitations because they are not representative of every possible scenario. They use current knowledge and scientific data, but as those are subject to change, the models based off that knowledge and data are subject to change as well. ... Scientific models are not a replacement for experimentation.

5.What makes a good scientific question is that it can be answered by direct observations or with scientific tools. Examples of questions that are not scientific are based on values or opinions like what people believe is right or wrong, or beautiful or ugly. (to the part that says ANSWER >) Scientific ideas change over time as our evidence improves. The more experiments we do and the more data we collect, the better our scientific ideas become. ... When a brand-new idea is suggested, the first step is to collect evidence. But even when that evidence is collected, understanding it can be difficult.

You're weird :|

Explanation:

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
