Scientific Method
Yes, people really do use it!

Spanish-American War, late 1800’s
• US soldiers were stationed in Cuba• More soldiers died of Yellow Fever (YF)
than bullets• Symptoms of yellow fever:
– Fever– Nausea– Muscle pain– Vomiting blackened blood – “the black vomit”– Ghastly yellow skin - jaundice

The Reed Commission
US Army Yellow Fever Commission
Post Spanish-American War research in Cuba

Walter Reed
• Knew: old way to fight disease– Isolate sick– Boils clothes, sheets– Sterilize plates, cups..
• Realized: The disease was still spreading

Findlay’s hypothesis
• Carlos Juan Findlay, Cuban doctor
• Thought disease was spread by mosquitoes– Had been saying it for
20 years– Called “The Mosquito
Man”
• Most people did not believe this

Reed’s Experiment
• Group 1• 20 days • used filthy clothes,
sheets, utensils of infected YF soldiers
• Protected from mosquitoes with screens
• Group 2• 20 days• Used fresh clothes,
clean sheets, utensils• Isolated from infected
YF soldiers• Not protected from
mosquitoes• 3 doctors joined this
group
Formites Theory – touching infected stuffAedes Theory – mosquito genus

Results
• Group 1 – no one developed yellow fever• Group 2 – many including all 3 doctors (1
died) became sick• US pulled out of Cuba (republic of Cuba)
left a naval base - Guantánamo Bay (1901)
• Once the disease was under control in Panama, the US began considering building the Panama Canal.

Bottom Line
• Science requires much more than observation. Scientists must develop explanations for their observations and then use the scientific method to TEST those observations.
• What steps to the Scientific Method can you identify in the Yellow Fever problem?

Scientific Method? Time to create our notes.
• Problem identified• Developed a hypothesis• Identify independent (manipulated) & dependent
(responding) variables• Establish a control group• Experiment & test your hypothesis• Record & organize your data/what you see--
pictures, graphs, measurements• Statement about what happened---conclusion• Inform/communicate your findings

Independent (manipulated) & Dependent (responding) Variables
• Manipulated variable is what you change
• Responding variable is what you measure
• Listen to the tomato plant example
• Identify each variable and constant
• Make a space on your paper for each
• You and your lab partners must determine which parts are variables and constants

The tomato plants
• 12 tomato plants were grown in 48” pots• Each plant received the same light & water for 8
weeks during the summer• 3 plants received nitrogen fertilizer• 3 plants received compost tea• 3 plants received P-N-K fertilizer• 3 plants were not fertilized• Weekly heights were measured• Number of fruits were collected
