Applied Science in Action

I found this article about applied science. NASA figured out a way to make a silicon chip that can operate in 600 degrees Celsius heat (1,112 degrees F). Before, most chips could only withstand 350 degree C heat. This chip will be used in everything from the ships going to hot climates like Mars, to commercial industries such as automotives, defense, and energy.

Scientific Method

The scientific method is a way to gain, organize and apply info that you have collected. You can use the scientific method when trying to prove that "College graduates have a higher IQ than high school drop outs", but not when you are trying to prove "the Great Books are the most informative books that exist"
