Question

which procedures are examples of descartess rules for scientific reasoning? check all that apply.
□ keeping a detailed record of the procedure and results of a scientific experiment
□ conducting an experiment to confirm the effects of gravity on earth
□ accepting all of descartess theories as truth
□ answering a math problem using mental mathematics
□ solving an expression in steps using the order of operations

Explanation:

Descartes's scientific reasoning rules emphasize systematic, evidence-based, step-by-step methods, and rigorous documentation, while rejecting blind acceptance of ideas.

1. Keeping detailed experiment records aligns with his focus on rigor and replicability.
2. Conducting an experiment to test gravity follows his emphasis on verifying ideas through evidence.
3. Accepting his theories as truth violates his rule of doubting all assumptions.
4. Mental math lacks the systematic, verifiable steps he advocated.
5. Solving expressions step-by-step follows his rule of breaking problems into logical, sequential parts.

Answer:

• keeping a detailed record of the procedure and results of a scientific experiment
• conducting an experiment to confirm the effects of gravity on Earth
• solving an expression in steps using the order of operations
