Science Inquiry A – Conceptual Physics 18 Inquiry & Patterns Stretching Spring Experiment Conclusion: Since the best-fit line of our data is linear, we conclude that there is a linear relationship between how much the spring stretches and the mass hung from the spring. This can be represented mathematically Stretch of Spring = 0.053 * Mass Hung. So I predict that for a 500g mass my spring will stretch _______.

23. Science Inquiry A – Conceptual Physics 23 Inquiry & Patterns

24. Science Inquiry A – Conceptual Physics 24 Inquiry & Patterns Paragraph Science is finding patterns in nature and then using those patterns to accurately predict the future. For instance, one pattern in nature that nearly everyone has discovered is that objects on earth, when unsupported, fall. We have named this pattern gravity. And we can predict that tomorrow if you were to hold up a marker then let it go, that marker would fall to the floor. Now scientists and engineers have discovered many patterns and have gone as far as creating a device, from materials found in the earth’s crust, that if tomorrow you touch in a certain way and then talk towards it a loved one can hear your voice miles away! We, of course, call this amazing combination of stuff from the ground a cell phone.
