Usually I just turn the key numerous times until i can get it to start. You don't push down the gas pedal as is often seen done because you would flood the engine. If it is just clicking it's my starter which is regular, but if I have not driven it in a while it is really bad at starting. I still just try to start it though until i get it. I suppose if I had not driven it for a while in the snow I would go buy some heat to put in the tank. I know that it doesn't start because there is moisture that has built up in the gas tank from sitting there. I am not really too sure how this happens, can't find anything online, but I would like to know.
What is the Scientific Method, explain the process and steps?
- Observation
- Define the question
- Gather information and resources (observe more)
- Form hypothesis
- Perform experiment and collect data
- Analyze data
- Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
- Publish results
- Retest (frequently done by other scientists)
Relate the scientific process to the experiment that you performed on surfaces and liquids.
I was trying to figure out what happens when you put different liquids on different surfaces. I gathered the different liquids and surfaces that I could obtain, and began to think of what would happen when i put a drop of each liquid on the surface. I didn't really have a hypothesis except that I figured most liquids, if not all, would give me a nice convex meniscus. I then performed the experiment and started to drop the different liquids on the different surfaces. I collected data on this; I god rough heights and weights and also too pictures. I analyzed the data by making graphs and comparing the heights and diameters of the different conditions. I interpreted that I didn't really find much, but I did draw some ideas to some things, such as that as the circle gets bigger the height gets higher and i expect this to cap out at a certain point. I assumed that this is where I could go next with the experiment, but I could also just try to run it again more accurately considering my poor measuring techniques. I then published my results on my blog, as did the many other scientists running the same experiment.
