Explore how scientists use AI to predict structures, design proteins, develop hypotheses and improve research tools, then judge the evidence behind a discovery.
Distinguish basic research, applied research and experimental development, then evaluate scientific progress and claims about future impact.
Plan a small field investigation with sensor checks, fair comparisons, time and location records, and an editable field worksheet.
Choose sensor range, resolution, sampling and storage intervals; handle timestamps, calibration checks, and missing data with a verified temperature example.
Preserve research data, metadata, code, environments, and provenance. Try a verified downloadable project and distinguish reproducibility from validity.
Document fossil specimens with scale, orientation, provenance, and uncertainty; verify image measurements and recognize bias in published photographs.
Understand mass-to-charge ratio, analyzer roles, resolving power, mass error and identification limits, with a checked downloadable ppm example.
Plan controls, experimental units, randomization, replication and blocking, with a verified fictional filter experiment and downloadable research worksheets.
Read powder X-ray diffraction patterns, check Bragg-law calculations, and understand phase identification, peak widths, and quantitative limits.
