Created by Alicia R Martinez Getting Started Oh noyouve been assigned by your teacher to do a science project and you dont know where to begin Well a science experiment is nothing more than a way to solve a problem. What is research?. We ask questions all the time. Research is a formal way of going about asking questions. Ways of acquiring knowledge. Uses methodologies. Many different kinds (e.g. market research, media research and social research). Mary Mathias. SPS ITRT. What is the Scientific Method?. It’s the way scientists solve a problem.

Compare and contrast the . history of scientific forensic techniques. When modeling a problem using a finite element program, it is very important to check whether the solution has converged. . The . word convergence is used because the output from the finite element program is converging on a single correct solution. In order to check the convergence, more than one solution to the same problem are required. If the solution is dramatically different from the original solution, then solution of the problem is not converged. However, if the solution does not change much (less than a few percent difference) then solution of the problem is considered converged..
