1) How is scientific knowledge more powerful than other forms of knowledge (e.g. intuition, tradition)? (You will want to thoroughly discuss aspects of reproducibility here, that is, how research is designed so that the study can be reproduced by others in order to add to the body of knowledge). Additionally, what are the relative shortcomings of scientific knowledge, if any?
2) What are the 5 basic steps of the scientific method? (Explain in your own words. Do not simply list the steps. Give a thorough explanation of each step). Please do not simply copy straight from the book. Explain this in your own words. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade.
