Procedures in the Physical Sciences

Procedures in the Physical Sciences

Throughout history, research in the physical sciences has often been
> limited by our abilitiesof safely observing and studying the very
> phenomenon in question. As we make technological progress, we have
> increasingly more tools to expand our observational capabilities.
>
> Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
>
> Part 1: Procedures in the Physical Sciences: Challenges in Measurements
>
>    – Identify three (3) specific challenges to making direct measurements
>    in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, physics, or earth science.
> Describe
>    how scientists have utilized indirect forms of measure to overcome these
>    challenges.
>
>
>    1. Choose two (2) of the most historically influential tools or
>    techniques in the physical sciences.  Explain how these techniques or
> tools
>    work, and how they helped to advance our understanding of the physical
>    sciences.
>
> Part 2: Procedures in the Physical Sciences: A Survey of Safety
>
>    1. Choose one (1) hazard associated with research in the physical
>    sciences. Discuss how protective gear or equipment might be used to
>    mitigate the hazard, as well as its efficacy.
>    2. Describe the ways in which advancements in the physical sciences
>    might impact the safety of the global community. Assess any special
>    considerations for regulating this research.
>
> Part 3: Documentation
>
>    1. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment.
> *Note:* Wikipedia
>    and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. The body of
> the
>    paper must have in-text citations that correspond to the references.
>    Integrate all sources into your paper using proper techniques of
> quoting,
>    paraphrasing and summarizing, along with proper use of in-text citations
> to
>    credit your sources.
>
> Your report must follow these formatting requirements:
>
>    – Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
>    one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
> or
>    school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
>    instructions.
>    – Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
>    student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.
> The
>    cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
>    assignment page length.
>
> The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
>
>    – Apply concepts in physical sciences to evaluate current trends and
>    issues in the modern world.
>    – Describe the characteristic values and procedures of the physical
>    sciences.
>    – Use technology and information resources to research issues in
>    physical sciences.
>    – Write clearly and concisely about physical sciences using proper
