Scientific Method Template for College Students - Complex 4-6 Step Process

AI Thread Summary
A request for a more complex scientific method template for college students highlights the inadequacy of existing simple models. The discussion emphasizes that the scientific method's strength lies in its simplicity and compactness. However, some instructors differentiate between levels of complexity, requiring students to find more intricate templates for advanced coursework. The conversation reflects a tension between the desire for complexity and the fundamental principles of the scientific method. Ultimately, the need for a more detailed approach is driven by academic requirements rather than the method's inherent value.

1. What is a good scientific method template for college students? I need something that is more complex than your general 4-6 step process.

e. I've looked over the web and have not really found much.They are all very similarly simple.

Why do you seek complexification? The power and utility of the scientific method derive from the fact that the method is compact and simple.
 
Because my instructor says so. I agree with you, just he separates things into B, A, and A+ levels. The B level has 4 steps, A has a lot, and A+ requires finding one "more complex" on the web.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
