process investigation

Why is Accurately documenting your process so difficult?
- When you think of an idea you might not think of the ways that it can be wrong, or when you have an idea in your head and you think it, you might not know how to describe it in words, which is very difficult. When you don't think of the ways it can be wrong, when you document it might not be so accurate.




How does your process/investigation demonstrate that science ideas can change?
- When you find new information it can go against your idea from before. Your investigation will cause you to change ideas when you find new information because the information might not fit the idea.




Why do scientists often "clean up" their process before publishing?
- There process is something that is in their head that they know exactly what they did but when they publish it, it will probably be very confusing. So they have to get rid of the minor details and just include the main ideas to allow people to see how they got their answer.
