Process: - Mix pancake mix with water - Heat a griddle - Pour a circle of batter in the griddle - When most of the bubbles pop on the surface, flip - Cook to desired color - Apply butter, syrup and enjoy - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the oven was turned up happens, how will it affect it takes longer to cook each pancake. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - A conducting metal, like copper, is wrapped around a piece of metal - An electrical source, like a battery, produces an electrical current - The electrical current flows through the wire - The electrical current creates a magnetic field around the wire, magnetizing the metal - The magnetic field can be turned on and off by starting or stopping the electricity source - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose The ocean is cold happens, how will it affect stronger magnetic field. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - Energy builds up in the crust of the earth - The energy causes the fault lines give way - The earth's plates move - The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions - The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more plate movement occurs happens, how will it affect more fault lines occur. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - A bird lays eggs in a nest - The parent(s) incubate the eggs - The eggs hatch - The mother (and sometimes the father) bird take care of the baby birds - The baby birds grow up and get their flight feathers - The young birds learn to fly and leave the nest - The adult birds find mates and mate. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose A predator invades the nest and frightens bird more. happens, how will it affect Birds spend more time on nest. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes
