SCIENTIFIC МЕTHOD AND МЕTHODS OF SCIENSE

UNIT 1

1.1. Read the text and find the word equivalent to «scientific method».

It is sometimes said that there is no such thing as the so called «scientific method»; there are only the methods used in science. Nevertheless, it seems clear that there is often a special sequence of procedures which is involved in the establishment of the working principles of science. This sequence is as follows: (1) a problem is recognized, and as much information as possible is collected; (2) a solution (i.e. a hypothesis) is proposed and the consequences arising out of this solution are deduced; (3) these deductions are tested by experiment, and as a result the hypothesis is accepted, modified or discarded.

This method has been referred to in an earlier paper. I do not think this instrument can be relied upon. The data cannot be accounted for by the existing theory. Rapid development of chemicaltechnology has been called for by the needs of the national economy.

Inaccurate, inadequate, inappropriate, unsuitable; insensitive, ineffective, inefficient, unworkable, unpracticable; unsatisfactory, poor useless; unreliable, invalid; laborious, time-consuming.

The method these authors have used seems most efficient in performing studies of this kind. This is, without doubt, the most valid and practicable method of characterizing such units. The authors described a tedious but reliable method of preparation of pure material. The newly -developed method makes it possible to formulate a number of hypothesis, which is, in itself, its most valuable feature. The procedure described above is very laborious and time-consuming. It is therefore no longer applied in our studies of the phenomena.
