When I compared and contrasted the Engineering Design Processand the Scientific Method I came up with one similarity and two differences. The similarity is that they both give instructions to something. The first difference is they are in different formats (one is in a flowchart and one is in a circle with arrows). The second difference is the Engineering Design Process (the first one) uses more advanced language than the Scientific Method (the second one). Comparing and contrasting the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method gave me one similarity and two differences. By Rohini C.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the Engineering Design process and the Scientific Method, there were many similarities and differences between the two. I noticed that both processes stated the same process but each in a different format. Another similarity that both methods share are, they both show a way of communicating results about a topic. Not only do these processes both have something in common, but these processes are also different too.I thought that the Engineering Design Process uses a longer and more sophisticated method of communicating results than the Scientific method.Although both procecess may share certain qualities, they each have a different way of sharing their data.By Justin Tu
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the blog about the Engineering Design Process and The Scientific Method I found 2 similarities and 1 difference. First, I noticed you have to researrch when following either process. Second, I noticed that in the SM you construct a hypothesis, and in the EDP you construct a prototype. Third, I noticed these are both processes you have to follow to get an outcome that you like and makes sense. There are many similarities and difference in The Engineerfing Design Process and The Scientific Method! by Madi Pelley
ReplyDeleteI found one difference and two similarities when I was comparing the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method. The difference I found was that the Scientific method started through an observation leading to a question and the Engineering Design Process started because of a need. The first of the similarities I found was that they both have "research" as the second step in their processes. Also, both processes have the step "test" in them. I found those two differences and that one similarity when I was comparing the two processes.
ReplyDeleteMr. Guidetti,
ReplyDeleteAter reading your blog I came up with two differences and one simimarity. One difference that I came up with is that the scientific method is for doing an experiment and the engineering design process is for if you are going to design a product. My other difference is that if something goes wrong for the scientific method then you just have to go back to the hypothesis but if something goes wrong for the engineering design process then you pretty much have to do the whole process over again. The simillarity trhat I found was that you don't know what the finall answer or product is in the end while doing the process. Out of both processes, they both have sevral similarities and differences.

when i read your blog i discovered similarities and differences about the Engineering Design process and the Scientific Method, i found one similaritie and two differences. One similaritie is between the engineering design process and the scientific mrthod is they both show steps of when to do it. Also they show it by numbering them and putting it in order. They make it easy to read. One difference is te engineering design process has fewer steps than the scientific method. Another similarity is in the engineering design process and the scientific method is you have to communicate the results. Also you have to communicate the solution. Their are many similarities and differences between the engineering design process and the scientific method.

ReplyDeleteWhile I was comparing and contrasting the engineering design process and the scientific method,I stumbled upon two similarities and one difference. The first similarity I found was that both processes used some sort of testing in each. The next similarity I found was that in each process they had to do research on the task at hand. The difference between the two is that the engineering design process identifies the problem when the scientific method asks questions about it.Although there are many more similarities and differences between the two they will always be a part of science.
When I compared and contrast the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method I discover similarities and difference in reasearch,comunication,and construction.A similarity is that the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method is that you need to do reasearch. In the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method you need to communicate the result/solutions. In the Engineering Design Procees you do not need to construct a prototype and in the Scientific Method you do need to construct a prototype. That's how i would compare and contrast the Engineering Design process and the Scientific Method,but ow would you compare and contrast the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method?
ReplyDeleteWhen I compared and contrasted the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method I found two similarities and one difference. My first similarity is which ever one you choose to use you will always end up with the same results even through the steps are not the same. My second similarity is both of them have steps that you follow. Both have a certain order that if you do not follow the results will not make sense. The one difference I found was in the Engineering Design Process if your hypothesis is false you rethink your hypothesis. In the Scientific Method after you Communicate the Solution the you redesign. Both Engineering Design Process and Scientific Method have many things similar and different for each other.
ReplyDeleteWhen I compared the graphs of the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method I found two similaraties and one difference. A similarty in the engineering design process and the scientific method is that they both havesteps of how you do each method or process, and you have to follow that order or eles something might happen to your exeriment. A difference is that the Scientific method you ask a question and on the engineering design process you start the process by a problem that occors. Another similarity is that you have to do reseach for both of them to make your experiment more true. I can not believe how many similaraties and differences there are between the two graphs. By Shaylyn K.
ReplyDeleteWhen comparing the two science processes, I noticed that both methods begin with asking, or at least knowing a question, both have to report and show results, but that the scientific method only requires you to recreate a new hypothesis, while the other tells you to start your experiment over completely. I think that both start with a question because when doing an experiment, you need to know what you are doing and why. Both need to report or communicate your results because if you complete an experiment, it is important to show the world what happened. Lastly, I think that the first system's strategy,(to only start over only part of the process) is easier because you do not need to redesign your entire idea if you can just improve it by changing a small part. What method would you choose?

While comparing and contrasting the 2 types of charts I found 2 differences and 1 similarity. The first difference I found was that the 2 charts show the information differently. The first chart shows the information in ovals going up and down. The second chart on the other hand shows the information in the shape of a circle. The second difference I found was that the second chart numbers it's steps and the first one dose not. The second chart numbers it's steps for example on step 5 above the step it will say step 5. While the first chart dose not list the step number above the information. The 1 similarity I found was that both charts show the same information. Even though the 2 graphs do not look the same they share the same information just with a few different words. These are the differences and similarities I made while comparing and contrasting the 2 charts.
ReplyDeleteThese two methods have similarities and differences. Both methods have steps to follow. Also, both methods test the result. The Scientific Method develops the hypothesis before the solution and the other method develops it after the solution. Even though these methods have differences, they are both testing a hypothesis in a different way.
ReplyDeleteThe Scientific Method and the Engineering and Design Process are both similar in some ways and different in others. One way that they are similar is that they both solve a problem that involves building ideas that use both physical and mental abilities. Another way that they are similar is that they both involve a series of steps to complete the process. An example of a difference is that the Engineering Design Process starts with a problem and the Scientific Method starts with a question. Another difference is the Engineering Design Process has the capability to test more than one solution at a time while the Scientific Method does only one hypothesis at a time. Both methods are good ways to solve problems and answer questions.
ReplyDeleteAimee C.
The Science Method process helps you to observe and find results and you can repeat the process, you can try again at any time during the experiment. The Step process is a step by step cycle that only goes one way, you do not repeat the steps. If the possible solution you chose does not work you have start the process cycle all over again. In both the Scientific Method and Step Method you research and test your experiment. Kyle M.

ReplyDeleteThe engineering design process and the scientific method are ways to solve a problem or answer a question and they can be compared and contrasted. They are similar because in the engineering design process you have to do research on the need or problem you want to fix and in the scientific method you need to do background research on the question you are asking. They are different because in the engineering design process you need to develop solutions for the problem instead of just making a hypothesis and testing it. Another similarity is for both you need to report the results of your experiment or design. They can be compared and contrasted in many ways.
Good morning, while reading the blog comments last night I came across this one which is exactly the OPPOSITE of what I was looking for:

Please be careful.

I seemed to have noticed only 1 similarity and 1 diffrence bewteen the two graphs. The circle graph seems to be in a complete and infinent loop. Instead the other graph only goes back to the third step (the hypothesis), and thats only if the hypothesis is false. All of this applies to every graph and chart meaning they all have diffrences and similaritys with each other.
ReplyDeleteI seemed to have noticed only 1 similarity and 1 diffrence bewteen the two graphs. They seem to be saying the same thing, which is explaining the scientific method. The circle graph seems to be in a complete and infinent loop. Instead the other graph only goes back to the third step (the hypothesis), and thats only if the hypothesis is false. All of this applies to every graph and chart meaning they all have diffrences and similaritys with each other.
ReplyDeleteThere are similarities and diferences between the sientific method and the engineering desighn prosess. One difference is that in the sientific method starts with ask a questio but in the engineering desihgn prosess it says to start by identifing the problem. One simalarity is that they both say if your hypoth esis does not mach your resuts then you start at your hypothesis and work your to your beter results.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the engineering and design chart and the scientific method I found one difference and two similarities. The difference that I found is there has to be a problem for the engineering and design but for the scientific method you have a hypothesis. One of the two similarities is that most of the steps are the same but they are worded differently. An example of this is step three for the scientific method is step one in the engineering and design process. The last difference is that the number one in the scientific method has an extra step that the engineering and design process doesn't need because of the scientific method using hypotheses and the engineering and design process using problems. These are only some of the differences and similarities that the scientific method and the engineering and design process have in common.
ReplyDeleteWhen I compared and contrasted both of the charts I found two differences and one similarity. The first difference that I noticed was the first steps on the charts are not the same. The first chart says “Ask Question” while the other chart says “Identify the need or problem”. The second difference that I noticed was that the second chart doesn’t say if your hypothesis is true or false. One similarity I noticed was most of the steps were the same, just worded differently. For example, the first chart says “Do Background Research” and the second chart says “research the need or problem”. They both pretty much mean research your question or problem. These are the differences and similarities that I noticed.
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways that the two charts are similar and different. I think the two chart are similar because they both have arrows pointing to the next step and they both record the same information. I also think they are different because the first chart shows the steps in a straight line down and the second chart shows the steps in a circle. They are also different because the first chart just stops and ends the steps but the second chart keeps going on and on. Thats why I think the two charts are similar and different.
ReplyDeleteAnnie R.
While comparing the two methods I found that there was differences and simalarities between the two mehtods.The difference between the Scientific Method and the Engineering and design process was that in the Scientific Method there was a hypothesis in the method that was shown for the Scientific Method. The similarity between the two Methods was that there was a cycle in the Methods. In the Scientific Method if the hypothesis is false then you need to thimk and try again.In the Engineering and design it goes Step 1-8 and when you reach Step 8 you start over at Step 1.
ReplyDeleteHer are Two things that are the same and one difference that I found on the Engineering Design and the Scientific Method. First, they boolth have to follow steps if the didn’t we wouldn’t know where to start and were we end the experiment. Second, they boolth have for one of the there steps test with an experiment. If it didn’t then you wouldn’t know if the experiment is true or not. A difference I found is that the engineering and design process has more steps then the scientific method. Those are the difference and the to same things I found.
ReplyDeleteThe methods shown have both similarities and differences. One thing that is similar about the graphs is that they both give you steps to complete an experiment. A thing that is different about the methods is that the second one's last step is to redesign unlike the first one were the last step is to report results. Another thing that's the same about the methods is the second step is to do back round research. One more thing that is different about the methods is that the engineer and design process calls the experiment a prototype. This shows that the engineer and design process and scientific method are alike and different at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process have a couple similarities and differences. Some similarities that they both share are that the both help you in the process of doing something. They have some of the same steps, such as the one of the steps they both have that you do some background research in whatever you are trying to figure out, that you need to test your idea, and that you have to report and communicate your results. They are also the in the same way that they both start out by making an observation. Some differences that the two have are that the Engineering Design Process has the steps to actually make something to benefit people’s lives, and the Scientific Method usually is testing an idea. Another difference is that the Engineering Design Process, once it starts going, really never ends because once you design something you keep wanting it to get better and better in quality (for example, a car). Overall, The Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process both help you in the same and different ways.
ReplyDeleteThere are some similarities and some differnces between the Scientific Method and the Engineering Design process. One similarity is that both include doing research on the subject. Another similarity is that you have to do experiments or tests for both. You also have to report the results of your tests in both. The Scientific Method does not have as many solution choices as the Engineering Design Process does. Another difference between the two is retests are always part of the Engineering Design Process but not always needed in the Scientific Method. The last difference I see is that the hypothosis step takes place at different points of the process. In the Scientific Method it takes place before the testing and in the Engineering Design Process it takes place after the testing.
ReplyDeleteMatthew W
The differences and similarities between the processes are it explains the same things but the difference is the 2 graphs look do not look the same. It explains the same thing because it may look different but it tells you the same thing. The difference is they both look different. The difference is the 2nd process is a circle. The first one is up to down. This might help if someone has to read it differently. These are one similarity and differences. What do you think they are?
ReplyDeleteThere are many similarities and differences between the scientific method and engineering design process. One difference is that each method goes through different processes to get a solution. One similarity is that they both have ways to get solved and they both have ways to do research on the problem and also they have the same amount of steps. There are lots of other differences and similarities but these are two. Jamie R.
ReplyDeleteThe engeneering design process and scientific method are both similar and different, here are two simalaraties and one differences between the two. The first similaraty is that they are both charts or tables written in order of steps. They are showing the steps of building off of an observation. The second simalaraty between the two is that they both involve similar steps, such as the testing or experimenting, and research. The difference between the engeneering design process and scientific method is that the engeneering design process is trying to fix or solve a problem while the scientific method is exploreing an observation.While comparing and contrasting these two charts i came across many differences and simalaraties between them.
ReplyDeleteWhile looking and observing these two graphs, I noticed two similarities and two differences about them. The first similaritie is that they both do steps to a process. There is about eight or nine of them. My second similaritie is that they use one or two arrows to show which step one comes after which. There are two similarities I found but only one difference that I could see while observing these two graphs. This difference is that the second graph uses different and more difficult words for me, on it. The two graphs are very similar in many ways and different in several other ways but they have there own way of showing the same information.
ReplyDeleteThe scientific method and the engineering design process may be different but it can also be the same. Here are some examples. One similarity is that you have to do research. Also, they are both showing you steps that are related to science. A difference would be that they explain the steps in a different way like the engineering design process repeats while the scientific method is in a line down that you do not repeat from the beginning. Finally my last similarity I noticed is that they both help you start an experiment. These methods may seem different from each other but they are also the same in a lot more ways.
ReplyDeleteThe scientific method and the engineering design process have many similarities and differences. A similarity would be that they both help you learn the steps or make something scientifically. Also, the graphs show some of the same steps like research, tests, and reports. Some differences are that the scientific method helps you learn something new, and the engineering design process helps you make something new that will help everyone. Another difference is that the engineering design process keeps going on in a circle and improves something every time that it goes around. Overall, the scientific method and the engineer design process can help you even if they are different, or similar.
ReplyDeleteThe Engineering design process and the Scientific method can be very alike and very different both at the same time, for example the steps, final result and the purpose are all different and alike. The first thing that I noticed is that the steps were mostly different. I think that it is true in this case because the first step on the Engineering design process is to identify the need or problem, while the first step on the Scientific method is to ask questions, two very different steps. The second thing that I noticed that is different is the final result. I think that the final result is different because the Engineering design process’ final result ended with a prototype, while the Scientific method just ended with results. The last thing that I noticed about the two processes is a similarity. I think that the purpose of the two processes are, for the most part, similar because you would follow either one of the processes to find the answer, or solution to a thought or question.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, the Engineering design process and the Scientific method are both different and alike.

ReplyDeleteWhile comparing the two compare and contrast processes I found 2 differences and 1 similarity. A similarity is that there are 8 steps in the process. Another similarity is that you always start with asking a question and figuring out what the problem is. One difference is that one of them tells you to test with an experiment after you construct the hypothesis while the other one tells you to choose the best possible solution. The last difference I found is that if you try again one of them tells you to start the process all over again while the other one tells you to start at the step when you construct the hypothesis. Even thought they are two different processes some of there features are the same and some of them are different.
Comparing and contrasting the two diagrams, I found two similarities and one difference. The first similarity is that they show a scientific process. In both of the methods, you don't know what the outcome of the experiment you are conducting will be, and you are also trying to solve a problem or answer a question. The second similarity is that they both achieve a goal. They are both conducted to find a solution and to show results. The one difference is that they show different methods. One is engineering and one is investigational. The engineering is geared toward designing and constructing whereas the scientific method is geared toward experimenting. The experimental method is used to prove something most of the time. I can infer that from my results, the two diagrams are in many ways alike.
ReplyDeleteSamantha O.
ReplyDeleteI found two diffrences and one similarity between the Engineering and Desighn Process and the scientific method. One similarity is that they both tell you after you go through your steps you have to go back and try again. One difference is that they both tell mostly the samr things in different ways. A last difference is that they all have the same steps and almost backwards. There are so many differences in these two methods for science.
I was comparing the engineering design and scientific method and I noticed a similarity and difference. For step 2 on the engineering design and step 2 for scientific methoditk says to do research. The graphs are differnt because the scientific methodgoes down withthe steps and the engirneering design goes in a circle. In all, this is the similarity and differnce of the graghs.
ReplyDeletethere are similaryies and differences between scientific method. in scientific method you are finding out if your hypothisis is right. in the engerneering design process your solvimg a problem. The scientific method is a experoment plot.In the engerneering desigh process plot is a experoment to.
ReplyDeleteIn the scientific method vs engineering method I
ReplyDeletenoticed in both yon do background research and test with experinent. the different they look differnt because the steps in engieering design are 8 steps and the scientific method have 7.
There are both similarities and differences between the Engineering Design process and the Scientific Method. One way that the two processes are similar is that they both are a way of solving a problem or solving the answer to a question that is being asked. Another reason that the two processes are similar is that they both need to have a prototype or a hypothesis that has to be constructed. Although both of the processes are similar in some way, they are also different in ways as well. One way that they are different is that in the first step in the scientific method it is asking a question that would like to be answered, however, in the Engineering Design process, it is identifying a problem that is trying to be solved. Even though the scientific method is different than the Engineering Design process, they are both similar in ways as well
ReplyDeleteThe scientific method and the Engineering design process are both alike and different in many ways.The Engineering design process (EDP) and the scientific method both have miltuple steps. The scientific method is more specific, while the EDP is more general. Most of them are the same, just worded differently. I think the scientific method is more useful with an expereiment, while the EDP is more useful for building things. However, both are great methods to use in an experiment or in another situation.
ReplyDeleteEmma R.
ReplyDeletehere are many similarities and differences between these two diagrams. One similarity is they both go in a circle. The first diagram shows it in a straight line at first then if your hypothesis is wrong you go back and redo almost half the sequence. One way they are different is the first diagram shows the scientific method and the second one shows the engineering design process. These two diagrams are very different and similar.
When I had compared and contrasted the two graphs I had found both differences and similarities. One similarity is they both do background research for example in he second bubble in the scientific method it dose background research and for step number two of the engineer and design process. They are the same because they both also do testing for example for the fourth bubble down of the scientific method it said to test with an experiment and for the sixth step of the engineer and design process test and evaluate the solution. They are different because the scientific method says for the first bubble "ask a question" and the engineer and design process for the first step said to" identify the problem". Another difference is that the scientific method said to make a hypothesis which is an education guess to what is going to happen in the end and the engineer and design process said to make a prototype which is a basic or original type form. When I had compared and contrasted with these two graphs I had found those similarities and differences
ReplyDeleteMr.Guidetti,
ReplyDeleteThe two procsses,the scientific method and the enginering design process are different and similar in many ways. Some similarities I noticed was that they are both graphs and you can learn from these graphs in the same or different way. Some differences I noticed was that the scientific method constructed a hypothieis,but the enginering design procsses constructed a protoype. A hypotheis is a guess on what might happen during or after your experiment,and a protoype is usally a prouduct that is developed over a stage of time. Those where some differences and similarities I saw while looking a these two procsses.
When I was comparing and contrasting the two diagrams I noticed two similarities and one difference. One similarity is that in both diagrams you have to test something and then report your results in some way. Another similarity is that in both diagrams you need to do background research. One way you can do background research is by reading books about your topic. Another way is by watching TV, like the news. One difference is that in the Engineering design process you have to redesign your solutions, but in the Scientific Method you don't have to redesign you just report your results immediately. As you hopefully know there are many similarities and many differences.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Guidetti,
ReplyDeleteThe two processes, the scientific method and the designing engineering process have both differences and similarities. One similarity between the two of them is that on both processes you have to test the solution with an experiment. Another similarity is that on both of them if the experiment doesn't work you have to go back to your data and try again. A difference between them is that on the designing engineering processes you have to select the best possible solution. The last difference I found is that on the scientific method you have to construct a hypothesis, and on the designing engineering processes you have to construct a prototype. I found these processes very helpful but different in their own ways.
The scientific method and the engineering design processes are different, but at the same time similar. The scientific method and the engineering design process both have steps to experiment and report results. In the engineering design process you are trying to solve a problem by building something, while in the scientific method you are trying to verify a hypothesis with experiment results.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the main differences and similarities, but there are even more than this.
Jesse A
The two charts, the scientific method and the the enginer and design prosess are similar and diffrent in many ways. The difference between the scientific method and the enginer and design prosess is that the scientific method chart is more to the piont with the steps and the enginer and design prosess chart gives more detail in the steps. One similarity is that they give the same informatin but in diffrent words. The last way that they are the same is that they both give information on the scientific method and the enginer and design prosess. That is how the two charts are similar and diffrent.
ReplyDeleteEngineering Design Process vs. Scientific Method
ReplyDeleteConnor Mulligan
These 2 methods the scientific method and the engineer and design process are the same, distinct and both solve a hypothesis. One similaritie i found was that the both have the same general idea but they just worded it their own way.another similaritie was the scientific method said construct a hypothesis but the engineer and design process said construct a prototype wich means the same thing. A difference i found was that in the engineer and design process, you can do multible experiments but with the scientific method you can only do one experiment at one time. Both of the methods sovle a hypothesis or a question being asked. All and all these 2 simular but destinct processes solve a lot of questions being asked
There are many similarities and differences between the scientific method chart and the engineering design process chart such as they both help you get through a process,they both are the same steps except worded differently,and one helps you do an experiment and one helps you do a design. These two charts are similar because they both are methods that help you get through a of the process of many steps.Each step is very important. There is the same number of steps in each chart. Both of the charts are very similar because of the steps. The steps are very much alike because of how they are worded. All the steps are worded differently but mean practically the same thing. One difference of the two charts is the benefit of them. The benefit of the scientific method chart is to help you do an experiment and report the results. The point of the engineering design chart is to help you design and create. While i was comparing and contrasting these two charts i noticed many similarities and many differences
ReplyDeleteTo get a better understanding of thing it’s good to look at the similarities and differences of it. I think before beginning each process you need to observe something that interests you. If you’re not interested then you won’t be driven to even start the Engineering design process or the Scientific Method process. The second similarity I found was that they both want you to think about and do the process over, though one says "redesign" and the other says “think and try again" the meanings are the same. They both want you to think about what you’re doing and if you don’t understand to do it over again. A difference I saw was the engineering design process it tells you to develop possible solutions before you even construct a hypothesis, but the Scientific method doesn’t tell you to do that so the engineering design process must want you to think about possible results before you get the real ones. If you take the time to look for similarities and differences you will find there are more than you think in things.
ReplyDeleteJaosn C.
ReplyDeleteThe scientific method and engineering design process have differences and simularities i am going to tell you one of each. while looking at both diagrams i saw that the engineering design process has one more step than the scientific method and that step is redesign. The simularities between theese two diagrams is that they are saying the same information no mater witch one you look at. Those are one of each of the differences and simularities about the scientific method and the engineering design process
Similarities and differences are both in the engineering design process and the scientific method. The engineering process has eight steps that help you with an experiment. The scientific method also has eight steps that can help you make sure you are doing your experiment correctly. Some of the similarities are that they are both eight steps, step two is doing background research, and step seven is both reporting results. The differences are that in step five on the engineering design process is analyzing results and in the scientific method it is creating a prototype. Also step one in the engineering design process is asking questions and in the scientific method it is identifying what is needed or identifying the problem. The Engineering design process and the scientific method have both similarities and differences but they both help scientists with their experiments.
ReplyDeleteI can find many similarities, but I can also find many differences between the scientific method and the engineering design process. One step that the two methods share is step number two. Though the wording is different, the intended meaning is the same: research the topic at hand. One unique area the scientific method has is a hypothesis. The engineering design process has a slightly similar step of developing possible solutions, but it is still very different from a hypothesis. The engineering design process has its unique steps all based around a prototype. The scientific method never even gets close to that area. Each method has its own unique steps, but it also has steps that are similar to the other method.
ReplyDeleteMatthew G.
"When i was looking at these to data charts i saw that they were different and alike. One thing i saw that was different was that they both have the same data just posted differently. Another thing i saw that was different was that some of the steps are not the same. For example, the Scientific Method has the first step as Ask Questions and if you look at the Engineering Design Process it says identify the need or problem. However,i saw one similarity in these two charts. I saw that they are both about the same thing. As you may tell, i saw both similarity's and differences.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr.Guidetti,
ReplyDeleteThere are similarities and differences between the engineering design process and the scientific method. One difference would be that in the engineering design you do not construct a hypothesis like in the scientific method. A similarity between the two would be that the second step for both processes is do background research on the topic. As you can see both these processes have similarities and differences.

These two processes show a couple similarities and differences. A similarity between the two is that they both lead you to do something. One leads you to solve a problem you observe and the other is to answer a question that you have. A difference that the two have is that the second one tells you to construct several possible solutions. It also tells you to choose more than one possible solution to experiment with. These two processes are as much alike as they are different.
ReplyDeleteWhen comparing and contrasting the engineering and design process and the scientific method I found one similarity and two differences. The first and only similarity between the engineering and design process and the scientific method is that on the second step on both of them are the same. One of the differences is that there are nine steps to complete the engineering and design process and there is 8 steps to complete the scientific method. Last but not least is the last difference. The diffference is that on the scientific method it has you do a hypothisis but on the engineering and design process there is no hypothisis. There are differences and simmilarities on both of the methods but there is no difference in which one you should use.
ReplyDeleteThere are similarities and differences between the scientific method and the engineering and design process. One difference is that in step one in the scientific method it says to ask a question but in the engineering and design process it says to identify the problem. The engineer and design process doesn't say to ask questions about an observation, it says identify the observation. One similarity is if your hypothesis doesn't match your results, then you go back and fix what you got wrong and then start where you fixed the error and go on. Another similarity is that each process tells you to research your observation to learn more. These are only two similarities and one difference but if you look closely I bet you could find more.
ReplyDeleteWhen you compare and contrast the engineering and design process to the scientific method they are both different and alike. They have some of the same steps. For example, for both charts you have to do research, make an experiment, and show your results. On the other hand, the engineering and design process has different steps. In this process you have to redesign the whole project, unlike the scientific method where when you finish you do not have to go back and redesign. These two processes are very different as well as alike. Emily A.
ReplyDeleteThese two diagrams have many differences, and similarities. One difference is that the design process never says to show your accomplishment to the public. The scientific method's final stage is to tell the public. The similarity is that they are processes that have very unique steps to finish the expieriment.
ReplyDeleteThe Engineering Design Process and Scientific Method are both very similar and different at the same time. They are both similar because they're both steps to solve or complete something. Also, both charts test something along the process. In the Engineering Design Process, you test different solutions. In the Scientific Method, you test with an experiment. Another similarity is that in both charts you have to do research. In the Scientific Method you do background research to learn more about the experiment's subject. In the Engineering Design Process you research the need or problem. One difference is that the Scientific Method is steps to answer a question based off of an observation. The Engineering Design Process is steps to solve a problem or redesign something. Another difference is that to start the Scientific Method, you ask a question, usually based off of an observation. In the Design Process, you identify a need or a problem. One last difference is that in the Scientific Method, you construct a hypothesis. In the Design Process, you construct a prototype. All in all, the Scientific Method and Engineering Design Process are both very similar and different at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read Mr.Guidetti's blog I thought of two similiarties and one difference. My similarity is both the engineer design process and scientific method are alike because you follow steps and do them one by one. My second similarity is you are almost doing the same steps, but some steps are more complicated. My first difference is the way these steps are designed and how they are written out. After reading Mr.Guidetti's blog I realized that althogh these processes are alike they are also almost following the same steps. Michael R.

ReplyDeleteThe two graphs have many similarities and differences and they are similar steps that give a process, and they have different purposes. One similarity is they have steps that give a process. They are different steps that mean the same thing. One difference is they have different purposes. One is used for doing an experiment and one is for creating something to solve a problem. That was only one similarity and one difference, but there are plenty more.
Some of the differences and similarities between the scientific method and the engineering design process are that the scientific method asks questions while in the engineering design process it says identify the need or problem and some similarities are they say in the engineering and design process to communicate your solutions and in the scientific method it says report your results. Ask questions is the first step in the scientific method. That means that find information about your subject in computers, books, newspaper article, magazine, etc. Identify the need or the problem is also the first step in the engineering and design process but it does not really go with ask questions. It means those find out the problem or simply investigate the situation. Some similarities are the report results in scientific method and communicate the solutions in the engineering and design process. Reporting results mean get the word out to people. You can report in an internet web page, radio, TV, oral presentation, lab report, etc. Communicating your solutions mean the same thing as report your results. These are some of the differences and similarities between the scientific method and the engineering and design process.
ReplyDeleteThe two processes have one similarities and two differences that i see. In both of the diagrams, you have to do background research on your topic, must construct and hypothesis or develop possible solutions and test your results. The first diagram is about the scientific method and the second on is about engineering design processes. For example, A differences is, if you are doing the engineering and design process you have to go back and redo your design. At the end of the scientific method, you report your results not redesign. Finally you have to construct a prototype in engineering design processes not scientific method. As you can tell there are many differences and similarities between these two charts.
ReplyDeleteReviewing the diagrams I found some differences and some similarities. They are similar because the both explain steps and they both show the order the steps go in. They are different because one explains the scientific method and the other explains the engineering design process. Also, each step is worded differently and in different positions. They are similar because they both are guides to tell you what to do. Finding a few similarities and some differences I have learned a lot from the two diagrams.
ReplyDeleteI was comparing and contrasting the two different methods and i found one similarity and one difference. The first thing i found was a difference. If you are using the second method you are probably trying to find out a solution to a problem.If you are using the first method you are probably doing a experiment or a report. i know this because the second method says the words "problem" and "solution" a lot. Second, i found a similarity. the similarity was that both methods are solving a problem.The first method is solving a experiment, the second method is solving a problem. This is what i found while comparing these two methods

ReplyDeletewhen i read about the engineering design process and the scientific method i found one difference and two similarities. one similarity is that both processes have the step do background research. another similarity is that both processes start with observations. scientist can observe a problem and try to solve it. that begins the engineering design process. when scientist begin the scientific method they start by observing the 5 sences which causes couriosity to ask questions. the difference i found between the two processes was that in the engineering design process second to last step was communicate results and in the scientific method that step is last.

ReplyDeleteI have 2 similarity's and 1 difference about the engineering and design process and the scientific method. The first similarity is that for the 2nd step in both the EDP and the SM you either have to go on the internet, read a book or interview someone to find out the research. The difference I found is that for the last step one says redesign and the other one is to report the results and those are a little different. Finally, the other similarity is that in the first steps asking a question and identifying the problem are similar because you have to observe. I think that similarity's and differences are interesting things to observe.
There are lots of differences and similarities between the engineering and the scientific method such as that they show different things and they both help you follow a system. They show different things because one shows how to design a piece of technology but the other one shows how to test a question about an observation. One similarity that I noticed was that they both help you follow a system with steps so you can reach a certain goal.Those were two of the many similarities that you could have made while examining the two processes.
ReplyDeleteBy studying the scientific method and the engineer design process, I found researching and testing steps are similar and the construction steps are different. The first similarity is that both methods use researching to collect information. The second similarity is that both methods do testing after the construction step. For the differences, I found that different things are built in the two processes. The scientific method constructs hypothesis, but engineer design process builds prototype. All in all, those are the results by comparing the scientific method and the engineer design process.
ReplyDeleteWhile looking at the scientific method and the engineering design process charts, I saw two major differences and one similarity. The first difference I saw is that it is not possible to end the engineering design process unlike the scientific method which can end. You can't end the engineering design process because people improve on the thing you design and restart the process. However the scientific method can end because after a question is answered it's answered. The other difference I saw was that the engineering design process is about building and the scientific method is about learning. The similarity I found was that in both processes the second step always involves conducting background research about the problem or question. Those are just some of the differences and similarities between these two processes.

When I looked at the two method charts a few similarities and differences stuff out to me. The charts are similar in the way that they both tell you to first ask a question about a problem you observe, and then research it. What then struck me as odd about the two is that the scientific method asks you to construct a hypothesis, but the engineering design process did not. I recall in elementary school that we did make a hypothesis when going through the engineering design process. Also the engineering design process asks you to redesign your solution in the end no matter what, but the scientific method only has you do that if your hypothesis was not supported by your results. I found it interesting to observe how these two methods are similar and different.
ReplyDeleteMatt M.
The two process's have many similarities and many differences. Both of the diagrams have eight steps and in the eighth step they both have "do background knowledge". Another similarity is that they both have eight steps in the process. They also have some differences,one difference is step eight on the scientific method ends in "report results", however,step eight in the engineering and design process ends in "redesigning". As you can see there are both similarities and differences between the engineering design process and the scientific method.

ReplyDeleteWhile comparing and contrasting the 2 types of charts I found 1 differences and 2 similarity's. One thing that is the same in that both of the processes start with Observations. Another thing that is the same is you do background research somewhere in the process. One thing that is different is that you redesign at the end of the engineering design process and report results at the end of the Sci. method.
While comparing and contrasting the Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process, I found 1 difference and 1 similarity. The difference is that the Scientific Method focuses on one main idea and you research that one solution or idea. Then, if the idea does not work, then you go back and brainstorm again. In the Engineering Design Process, you come up with many different solutions and evaluate each one. The similarity that I found is that you research, brainstorm, and evaluate in each of the processes. In the Scientific Method, you choose one idea and EVALUATE it. In the Engineering Design Process, you come up with many ideas and EVALUATE them. Looking at the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method, I found 1 similarity and 1 difference.
ReplyDeleteI noticed there are many differences between the engenering desigh procces and the scientithic method. A difference between the engenering desighn proccesand the scientithic method is that in the scientithic method the first step is you ask a questoin supported by obeservatoins, but in the enginering desighn procces your indentifying the need or the problem. A simalaratie is that research is done ine both methods and procces because if you have no research you cant continue with the expiriment.
ReplyDeleteThese two different information diagrams have many opposites and alike camparisons. For example a difference could be that on the colored chart the first step says "ask questions" and on the other, more circular diagram it says "identify the need or problem." The same steps are shown only in different words. The order the data is in has a similar camparison. It is the exact same only in a slightly different way. One more difference could possibly be that step sixth on both graphs are not the same. on the round diagram step sixth is a combonation between steps four and five on the colored chart. The two diagrams have many similarities and differences they share.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading your blog, I discovered two similarities and one difference between the scientific method and engineering design process. One similarity is, that I noticed that both the engineering design process and the scientific method include research as one of the steps. That interested me because it made me realize how important it is to have great detailed research. One difference I noticed is that in the engineering design process you have to redesign your design no matter what happens, but in the scientific method you only retest if your hypothesis is false. Another similarity I discovered is that in both the scientific method and the engineering design process you have to test something, such as an experiment or a process. Comparing and contrasting these two processes made me realize how alike and dislike they really are.
When I compare and contrast the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method I found two similarites and one difference. The first similarity is they both have a certain order you need to follow. Another similarity is they both start with an observation because a question starts with an observation and you need to observe something to be able to find a problem or need. One difference is that for the Scientific Method you don't report your results until your hypothesis is true but for the Engineering Design Process you report results then you redesign. When the Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process are compared an contrasted they are very similar yet different.
ReplyDeleteWhen comparing and contrasting the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method there are both similarities and differences. The similarities between the processes are that some of the steps are the same, such as the research part and they both have a step to either redesign or try again. A difference is that the Scientific method is more for doing an experiment to answer a question. So the Engineering Design Process, I think would be for an engineer to make a product. Another difference is that the Scientific Method has some steps that can go either way, such as when you can go to Hypothosis is True or Hypothosis is False. Whereas in the Engineering Design Process, you just follow the steps right in order. So as you can see processes that seem very similar, and are in some ways, are also very different in other ways.

ReplyDeleteI think both charts are similar and different. he same is they both want you to do research. Another way they are the same is each chart has a cert order of steps in wich they want you to do them in. A difference is in the circle graph the steps follows a circular pattern and the other graph is just a list. Also in step 5 on the circle chart they want you to construct a prototype on the other graph they wont you to construct hypothisis.
When I had compared and contrasted the two graphs i had found both differences and similarities. One similarity is they both do background research for example in the second bubble of the scientific method it dose background research and for the engineer and step number two of the engineer and design process. They are also the same because they both do testing for example for the fourth bubble down on the scientific method said to test with an experiment and for the sixth step of the engineer and design it says to evaluate the solution.They are different because the scientific method says for the first bubble "ask a question" and engineer and design process for the first step says to " identify the problem". Another difference is that the scientific method said to make a hypothesis which is a eduction guess to what is going to happen in the end and engineer and design process said to make a prototype whixh is a basic or orinal type of form. When I had compared and contrasted with these two graphs I had found those similarities and differences.
ReplyDeleteFirst, one similarity between the two diagrams is that they both rely on their diagrams topic. An evxample is that they both show the steps through te process:begins andd ends. Next, an differences between the two diagrams is that the Engirneering disigning process tells what they would do processing through the steps. But not what causes them. Another difference is that the Scientific Method diagram tells what causes the first step but not what they do after meaning after how do they process through the first causing.Finally,the two diagram Engirneering Disigning Process, and the Scientific Method are similar and different in several ways.

The engineering design process and the scientific method have many similarities and differences. One difference that I found between the two diagrams was that the one with the ovals is a scientific method diagram and the one that shows the steps in a circle is the engineering and design process. One similarity that I found was that the two diagrams goes step by step explaining how to brainstorm, doing research, making hypothesis, and finding the results. Then the final step is to draw conclusions. Another similarity that I found was that both of the diagrams do background research which is when you are exploring new info that helps develop your test. All in all, my goal was to find differences and similarities between the two diagrams which was the scientific method and the engineering and designing process byAbryhna d.
ReplyDeleteThe two graphs have differences witch the difference is that the graphs have different purposes and a similarity is that they both have a process. First, the difference is that the Scientific Method gives a process that tells you how to make an experiment. The engineering and design process tells you the rotation of how to do the process. It rotates in a circle and labels the steps in order to follow how to use this process. This process tells you how to make something. The scientific method tells you how to do something. It tells you how to do a method that has many steps. A similarity I found is that both graphs give a process. They both tell you how to do something and tell you step by step. They make it so that the process will keep going until you have reached the final step. This information on how the two graphs have differences and have similarities helped me compare and contrast the two charts.
ReplyDeleteJuliana D.
There are many things you can compare and contrast about the scientific method and the engineer and design process. One similarity is that each process requiers you to do backround research and solve a problem. One difference I found was that the engineer and design process goes in a cycle when the scientific method ends and can be repeated. The two may have their simalarities and their differences, but each are the key to success.
ReplyDelete- Nick C.
there are many different similaritys and differences too. Like a similarity is that they sort of say the same thing but in different ways and not in order tho. Another one is they both show a scientific method but dont share the same things.Also number 2 in both of them are almost exactly the same cause the first one says do backround research and the other one say research the need or promblem. A difference is that they do not say the exact same thing even tho some sound the exactly the same.A difference is that the first one tells you to ask and the second one tells you to do something. Well this is how they are both different and similar.

ReplyDeleteWhen I comapered and contrasted both the Engenerring desighn process and the Scientific method I found 2 similarities and 1 difference. my first similarity is they both show the steps of how a scientist does an experiment. Then for my second similarity is they both you need background research or you will have no idea what the experiment is. Lastly my only difference is in the engeneering disghn process you have to make a prototype before you make the real experiment and for the Scientific method you have to record the results on a chart or graph. So i found 1difference and 2 similarities while comparing and contrasting the Engeneering disghn process and the Scientific method.
The two graphs are different and the same at the same time and I found out that the data and the format is different but the data was still on the same topic. The first difference I found was that the format of the graphs were different one being a flow chart and the other being a circle with arrows. The second difference was that the information was different form each other the first was the sceintific method and the other was the engieering degsign process. The one similarity that I found was that each chart showed sceintific data. The chart s were somewhat the same but they were more different than the were the same.
ReplyDeleteMatt S.
There are many similarities and differences between the two processes. Here are some. First the two processes are similar because they both involve constructing something, either a prototype or hypothesis. Another similarity is that they both have an end product and a try again feature in case you need to rethink the problem. A difference is that the engineering design process starts with a problem, not a question.
ReplyDeleteSome of the differences and similarities I found are the second one never said the steps for the hypothesis, the second one says check experiment, and the second one never says much about the results. First, the second one never says the steps for the hypothesis. The second one says develop possible solutions then select the best possible solution that is sort of like think of the hypothesis but is also very different to. In the first one the hypothesis is like step 3 and 4 in the second one. Second, the second one says check experiment. The first one says a bunch of stuff for checking hypothesis. The second one says a bunch of stuff for the experiment. The bottom one seems to think the experiment is more important and the top one seems to think the hypothesis is more important. Lastly, the second one doesn't say much about the results. The bottom one says communicate the solutions and the top one says showing results. They seem to be close to the same but different to. Those are some of the similarities and differences I found.
ReplyDeleteHere are some Differences and similarities. One difference is that they start of different. They start of different like the scientific method starts of with Ask Questions and the Engineering design process has Identify the problem. Another is that they don't end with a result. A simalarity is that they both have to have backround research. Also they they both start with and observation. There are some diferences and similarities.
ReplyDeleteMr. Guidetti I read your blog on comparing and contrasting engineer and design process and science method and discovered that there are an equal amount of similarities and differences. A similarity sm and edp have is that they are both a way of doing an experiment. Also, sm and edp are alike is that they are both a cycle. A similarity sm and edp also have is that in both you have to do research. A difference between sm and edp have is that they are both different ways of doing an experiment. The second difference sm and edp have is that they are a cycle only shown in different ways. The final difference edp and sm have is that you have to do research first in sm and you have to do research second in edp. Sm and edp have many more similarities and differences.
