Me: clicks vid and watches bc im doin schoolwork video: Why ArE kiDS sAd???

POV: Your here Bc of school

Quick summary 1. Observe and Ask Question:in this stage we think about a question because of our observations 2. Research: we do research about our question 3. Formulate a Hypothesis: we come up with a theory 4. Test your Hypothesis: we test our theory in a fair and unbiased way 5. Conclude: we conclude a result from our research 6. Share Results: we share our idea with other people

My doctor told me to watch my drinking. Now I drink in front of a mirror.

POV: you came here bc ur teacher said to

I’m just here because of school

Is there still people that watch videos at home for school?

I think this channel deserves far more viewers than it has now

the video was very explanatory and explained all the steps very well with a very nice view and drawings

Great video; used it as a study aid for several of my students and they've all loved it.

It’s crazy how back in high school you ask yourself when you’re learning about ways to solve math problems, “when am I ever gonna use this in the real world”. Well at least that’s what I’ve asked myself. But come to find out we utilize the scientific method is everyday life.

This is a great video and it helped me finish a scientific project I’ve been working on. I wasn’t doing it because if school, It was just a research I was doing, Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing.

I got recommended this video from my science teacher

Pov: You have school assignment and your teacher sent you this vid to watch and your to lazy to do it

A best and simple video on how to conduct a scientific study.

Dude, your drawings remind me of watching Curious George when I was little ;)

Who else came her to find out how to do their homewrok?

1. Formulate idea 2. Gather data to test and try and falsify your idea 3. If your idea survives all the tests you can throw at it ask others to try and falsify your idea. 4. If nobody can falsify your idea it becomes a tentative best explanation until a better explanation comes along. 5. Never get emotionally attached to the idea itself, because it will blind you to better ideas.

Well explained in layman's terms...My salute!

Thank you for your work, especially regarding the scientific method. I never thought that it is much simpler method. I should try to use this in my everyday life. Anyway, can you do a summary about historical method? I really appreciate it.

Make video on "Why do some feel sleepy after a while studying ?"

We tested the hypothesis and verified that it was accurate until we added the dime--the smallest US coin. This was a great bit of practice for the understanding of Step 4 of the Scientific Method. Your hypothesis was disproven!

Thank you so much, my native language is Spanish. I have learned how to pronounce more words, and I have improve my knowledge of the scientific method.

Am I the only one who find your videos both relaxing and educational?

We are all here because of school

Great informative, educational video. It explains the scientific method clearly. thanks a lot

I'm here because I want to practically apply this method in my life, in aspects like academics, my skills, working out and relationships.

This lesson is really usefull , thanks for helping me with my science!

Thanks for share this information. I'm 25 years old man trying to be better everyday and that's why I decide to take my GED test this year. Wish me luck ;)

Your teaching method and pictures are so good❤

i would love to learn more about the experiment that tests if men or women are happier and how they overcame all the blocks and issues of the experimental design.

Thank you so much, you helped me study for my test!!!

I love sprouts! Thanks for making these amazing videos!

Thanks for the information mate

Thank you this helped me a lot!👍

Swiss here! We had many years ago a 1 rp and a two rp which supported your hypothesis. Today we don't have them anymore but we have still the rest: 5 rp is smaller than 10 rp is smaller than 20 rp is bigger than 50 rp is smaller than 1 CHF is smaller than 2 CHF is smaller than 5 CHF As you can see your hypothesis does not stand against the 0.5 CHF coin.

2:28 My teacher from biology always tells the class that when forming a hypothesis it has to include "if", "then", and "because". So the hypothesis in the video might be if a woman smiles more often than men then it might be from their personal lifes because we usually don't see that much happiness on women that often sometimes. I just wanted to share this

Thank you, I needed some information for studying for exams

This Channel is underrated. the content here is Great!

bruh it says share the resilts also, in NY, im not sure about the others, the 10c coins are the smallest. in physical size, it goes 10c, 1c, 5c, 25c, and dollar coin

I have been telling people that a hypotheses (or a theory) cannot be proven correct. It can only stand a test or fail a test and be proven wrong. Is that in line with your comment at @4:55 ?

Thank you! Helped me loads!!!

well explained! i totally understand this

The hypothesis about coin size is incorrect, at least in the U.S. A penny is worth 1 cent, but a dime is worth ten cents yet it's smaller than the penny. Did you intend to provide that?

Alex Ball Intro to pysch 8/29/19 1. I would like to examine do wearing socks have an effect on your speed in track. I am doing my topic on this because I was told that wearing no socks under your spikes would help your time improve, so I stopped running track with socks on at the meets. I began to see my times improve after I had stopped wearing socks and believed the two were related. 2. My hypothesis is that not wearing socks while running track does not improve your speed. Your speed is affected by a lot of factors, however socks are not one of them. How you train and prepare your body is the real factor to your performance on the track. 3. The variables I use would be track speed, and running with or without socks. The socks would be the independent variable, while track speed would be the dependent variable. The socks would be independent because wearing socks depends on nothing. The track speed would be the dependent variable because it depends on whatever is happening with the socks. 4. I would use a controlled group of runners for my experiment. I would use track runners who have experience as the subjects to conduct this experiment. Using random everyday people wouldn’t be a good choice of subjects because they aren’t use to running competitively and how to run track properly. 5. Yes I would do a double blind study with the subjects because I want the runners to run their best both ways. If the runners know that an experiment is being conducted they might subconsciously change how they run. Because of this I want my runners to run their absolute best with and without socks, after they finish the experiment I will tell them that they were in a experiment. 6. Ethically I found that this was a bad experiment to conduct because to many factors affect a runners speed to specifically pin it solely on socks. I still believe that socks hold no significant impact on a runners speed and how fast he goes.

this video really help me thanks. I love your pictures

Thanks for this because I had such a difficult homework but the vedeo made it easy for me

In Malaysia, we have 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c. The size changes from smallest to biggest according to the value too. Is 5c smaller because we need more 5c to have 50c, then stacking smaller coins will be easier and save space to change them to 50c?

In Israel, we have coins of 10 Agoras (1/10 of a Shekel, 1 Agora is 1/100 of a Shekel), 1/2 of a Shekel, 1 Shekel, 2 Shekels. 5 Shekels, and 10 Shekels. Their sizes are non-indicative of their value, as these are the coins sorted from biggest to smallest: 1/2 of a Shekel, 5 Shekels, 10 Shekels, 10 Agoras, 2 Shekels, 1 Shekel. Something to note is the color of the coins. All of the coins valued under 1 Shekel are golden, while all of the coins that are valued at or above 1 Shekel are silver. The one outlier is the 10 Shekel coin, which is golden with a thick silver trim. Have a good day observing coins!

I love it. Good job...

This is very informative:)

- Maybe the coin is bigger because the imprint on the coin can only fit that size of a coin and it's worth is related to the art on it? - Maybe it's the amount of material and type of material that it is made of? (probably the reason) - Maybe it's because that's the way they were first made (the very first coins of X type) and they didn't bother changing it because they were lazy? - Maybe this is actually related to the total area/circumference/width of the coin and not how big (volume) it is? - Maybe it's based on the amount of metal paint used for each coin which requires a bigger surface area, so it's not the size that determines it's worth but the size correlates to the amount of paint they need per coin? - Maybe it's because the technology that used to exist to make the less valuable coins was not capable to make the bigger type of coins and their worth is lesser because of age and not size? - Maybe it's based on the coin's weight? - Maybe it's based on the amount of electricity each coin gain harness? - Maybe it's based on the coin's buoyancy level? - Maybe it's a combination of some of the above and there are very specific combinations that determine each coins' worth? That's all I could come up with in addition to your size suggestion :]

a dime is smaller than penny. :) Excellent presentation Sir.

THANKS FOR THIS, IT WAS REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME!!!!!❤💝💟👌👌

Great video!

POV: you didn't listen to your teacher and you just watched this incredible video and passed ur test. Thank you for letting me understand the scientific method!

Hey, nice video. I just submitted a portuguese translation.

I made the whole work from this video, i mean that's awesome!

Fantastic video

Name : Iqbal Firmansyah Grade : 9 From : Cahaya Rancamaya IBS This video is about "Scientific Method" The scientific method is an important tool to solve problems and learn from our observations. Steps : 1. Observe and Ask Question 2. Research 3. Formulate a Hypothesis 4. Test your Hypothesis 5. Conclude 6. Share Results

Most people go from observe to conclude and lose their minds when u say "you're wrong"

very useful , God bless you

Thank you sooo much this helped me and now my grades are going up thank you so much

when I grow up Iwant to be a scientist and I am.

In europe, 5 cents is smaller than 10 cents and 1 euro is smaller than 50 cents. Other than that it does apply

Many great points that have caused many studys to fail.

Great video 👍

sprouts make a video on improving handwriting

This is the video we watched in class today😂

great work

can someone give me the backround music

This is depressing..

Thanks for the update on the methods 😅😊❤

Thanks very much!

POV: Your scrolling through the comments because you were forced to watch this video and your bored.

Nice educational video

Got a meeting coming up for improving efficiency next month. Thanks for creating this video!

When you have no book and have homework. Me:

4:51 RESLILTS LOL

In Malaysia now we have two different version of 20c and 50c respectively, the older ones being much bigger in size than the newer ones. But to substitute its size and to equalize its value... the newer ones are made golden while the older ones remain silver.

excellent video!! congratulations!

ok your experiment about men vs women is stupid and pretty stereotypical but i diffidently approve of the flying hamsters

Who else got this for homework ;l

I love biology, thanks school

Very informative and educational video eplainer!

my teacher told me to comment something

Pov: your here becuse of school -_-

Thank you 😊

really wish u went more in depth into the testing/experiment phase, because there are many pieces to this such as having a control, and there's many ways to conduct a flawed experiment.

Hello 2019?

Aaahhh... YT comments section is the best place for peer reviews.

Thanks, this was helpful ':)

can you make a video about sintesis or meditation?

Dimes are smaller than pennies but are worth more. HMMMMMMMMM!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BROTHER!!!! Copyright TSM Daequan.

If science is to find the truth and nothing but the truth how is something falsifiable if it's possibly false? It's a best guess scenario.

Thanks! I've learned a lot from you

Nice One Mate

this helps cause there is drawing XD
