 Fact is an occurrence in the real world. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability—that is whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts.   A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false. An opinion is an expression of a person's feelings that cannot be proven. Opinions can be based on facts or emotions and sometimes they are meant to deliberately mislead others.   The common usage of "something that has really occurred or is the case" dates from the middle of the sixteenth century. The term fact also indicates a matter under discussion deemed to be true or correct, such as to emphasize a point or prove a disputed issue   A fact is something that's indisputable, based on empirical research and quantifiable measures. Facts go beyond theories. They're proven through calculation and experience, or they're something that definitively occurred in the past. Truth is entirely ...

 Experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.   Three key types of experiments are controlled experiments, field experiments, and natural experiments.   Experimental research is research conducted with a scientific approach using two sets of variables. The first set acts as a constant, which you use to measure the differences of the second set.

 Meteorology  is a branch of the atmospheric sciences which includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics, with a major focus on weather forecasting. The study of meteorology dates back millennia, though significant progress in meteorology did not occur until the 18th century.   A variety of careers in these fields involve research, forecasting and assessment of the impact of weather in certain regions. Meteorologist. Climatologist. Storm Chaser. Environmental Scientist.    

 Meteorologist are scientists who study and work in the field of meteorology. Those who study meteorological phenomena are meteorologists in research while those using mathematical models and knowledge to prepare daily weather forecast are called weather forecasters or operational meteorologists.   At minimum, meteorologists need a Bachelor of Science degree, which typically takes four years to complete. However, many meteorologists choose to pursue Master of Science or even doctoral degrees.   According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook is strong for atmospheric scientists, including meteorologists. Predicted to grow 12 percent from 2016 through 2026 -- faster than the average for all occupations -- meteorology jobs also come with high median salaries of more than $92,000 a year.   Famous Meteorologists     John Dalton.     William Morris Davis.     Gabriel Fahrenheit.     Alfred Wegener.    ...

 Measure In science, a measurement is a collection of quantitative or numerical data that describes a property of an object or event. A measurement is made by comparing a quantity with a standard unit.   The seven SI base units, which are comprised of:       Length - meter (m)     Time - second (s)     Amount of substance - mole (Mole)     Electric current - ampere (A)     Temperature - kelvin (K)     Luminous intensity - candela (cd)     Mass - kilogram (kg)   In fact, there's a fundamental circularity in the way we measure time. The time that is measured by a clock is itself produced by that clock. The clock's time is independent of the flow of the seasons or the cycle of day and night, and is independent of the clock's location on earth.

 Matter In classical physics and general chemistry, matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume.   Matter is everything around you. Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume).   Everything around us is made of matter. Matter is any thing that is made from atoms and molecules. The seven states of matter that I am investigating are Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate.   All matter is made up of atoms, which are in turn made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms come together to form molecules, which are the building blocks for all types of matter, according to Washington State University.   What's hotter than plasma? At temperatures between 7 trillion and 10 trillion degrees Fahrenheit (4 tr...

 Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies.   in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in effect, the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force. The greater the mass of a body, the smaller the change produced by an applied force.   The mass is essentially "how much stuff" is in an object but with weight there is a gravitational interaction between objects that have mass.   The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction.

 Magnetism   is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments. Magnetism is one aspect of the combined phenomenon of electromagnetism.   There are six basic types of magnetization: (1) diamagnetism, (2) paramagnetism, (3) ferromagnetism, (4) antiferromagnetism, (5) ferrimagnetism, and (6) superparamagnetism. Diamagnetism arises from the orbiting electrons surrounding each atomic nucleus.   Magnets don't need gravity or air. Instead, their power comes from the electromagnetic field they generate all by themselves. One class of magnets, called electromagnets, does need electricity to work.   Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom. The hyperactivity of these electrons gives magnets t...

 Lepidoptery is the scientific study of butterflies and moths and a lepidopterist is someone who does this. or, archaically, an aurelian.   Lepidopterology Field of study   Margaret Fountaine (1862–1940) was a lepidopterist during a period of transition and professionalization in natural history. Over her lifespan she collected more than 22 000 butterflies, published extensively and wrote a diary of more than a million words.   Collecting was not, and is not, illegal, as many people seem to think. You can still catch a butterfly, or pick a flower, if the owner of the land will let you. Only certain rare and declining species, such as the high brown fritillary and the swallowtail, are protected by law.   Butterflies don't bite because they can't. Caterpillars munch on leaves and eat voraciously with their chewing mouthparts, and some of them do bite if they feel threatened. But once they become butterflies, they only have a long, curled proboscis, which is like a...

 Laws Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. The term law has diverse usage in many cases across all fields of natural science.   In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.       Archimedes' Principle of Buoyancy.     Hooke's Law of Elasticity.     Bernoulli's Law of Fluid Dynamics.

 Lab is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.   Lab is also used for Laboratory.   A lab is typically a class where you do the "hands on" work of that course. They're often offered for science courses so that students can actually engage with the material they're learning (such as mixing chemicals in chemistry, dissections in biology). They can include doing experiments, writing reports, tests, etc.   A sample of a material to be tested or analyzed that is prepared from a gross sample and retains the latter's composition.

 Immunology is the study of the immune system and is a very important branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy and cancer.   4 types     Active immunity. Immunity derived from antibodies generated by own body.     Passive immunity. Immunity derived from antibodies from another body, such as given through mother's milk or artificial means (antivenom antibodies). ...     Natural immunity. Antibodies generated due to a normal infection. Includes antibodies provided by mother through their colostrum, the initial breastmilk. Only protects for short time, but when infant is most vulnerable.       Artificial immunity. Antibodies generated by receiving antigen in a vaccine/serum rather than a normal infection. Generally does not last as long as when...

 Herpetology is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians and reptiles. Birds, which are cladistically included within Reptilia, are traditionally excluded here; the scientific study of birds is the subject of ornithology.   Ensil Ross Allen (January 2, 1908 – May 17, 1981) was an American herpetologist and writer who was based in Silver Springs, Florida for 46 years, where he established the Reptile Institute.   To become a herpetologist, you would get a bachelor's degree in a life science, such as biology or zoology. From there, you would want to take courses or gain experience to expand your knowledge of amphibians and reptiles and specialize in this particular area of zoology.   As of Feb 8, 2021, the average annual pay for the Herpetology jobs category in the United States is $51,826 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $24.92 an hour.   Etymology. The word herpetology is from Greek:...

 Gravity  an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall. An animation of gravity at work. Albert Einstein described gravity as a curve in space that wraps around an object—such as a star or a planet.   Law Newton's law of gravitation, statement that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.       Gravity is by far the weakest force we know.     Gravity and weight are not the same thing.     Gravity makes waves that move at light speed.     Explaining the microscopic behavior of gravity has thrown researchers for a loop.     Gravity might be carried by massless particles called gravitons.   The movement of every object — from a person to a supermassive black hole — produces gravitational waves. Most...

 Graduated cylinder also known as measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured. The graduated cylinder was invented by Albert Einstein in the year of 1909, in order to help with measuring the volume of a liquid (Patnaik, 2003). The graduated cylinder with the most subdivisions between the mL marks is the most precise. The volumetric flask is used for measuring accurate volumes of liquid materials for laboratory experiments. They are favored when available because they are more accurate than graduated cylinders and beakers

 Glassware Laboratory glassware refers to a variety of equipment used in scientific work, and traditionally made of glass. Glass can be blown, bent, cut, molded, and formed into many sizes and shapes, and is therefore common in chemistry, biology, and analytical laboratories.   Annealed glass is a basic product formed from the annealing stage of the float process Heat Strengthened Glass is semi tempered or semi toughened glass. Tempered or Toughened Glass. Laminated Glass.   One basic procedure is to start with the gentlest methods, scraping off any solids and then using brushes and normal soaps and detergents. If this doesn't get the job done, move on to longer soaks and harsher cleaners. Finally, when the glassware is fully clean, rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry. soak glassware in water if it's impossible to wash it immediately after use.   Scrub all parts of the glassware thoroughly with laboratory glassware cleaning brushes.   cleaning agents with mi...
