1. Natural phenomena: Anything that has to do with the physical objects that make up our world; what you can observe by sight, touch, hearing and other senses.
2.
These would be the laws that sustain the physical world around us. The word “forms” is used most of the time to describe the things we cannot physically see but know they exist.

One of the four “Idols of the Mind” that get in the way of true scientific reasoning
This one has to do with how humans generally expect there to be order and regularity in systems more so than what actually exists. This usually occurs because humans tend to presuppose things. Our minds tend to want to organize, link and categorize things together which could lead to trouble if we don’t restrain from doing this because we might miss seeing the object under observation in it’s true state.
4.
This “Idol of the Mind” has to do with subjectivity getting in the way of science; When people want to see a particular outcome or something. This is when personal preference or certain characteristics of the person get in the way or distract someone from conducting true scientific reasoning.
5.
This “Idol of the Mind” has to do with language and communication barriers that lead to misunderstandings.
6.
This “Idol of the Mind” has to do with basing ones ideas or research in science on some philosophical thought that has not been proven or shown to be a legitimate way to conduct science. It’s assuming an idea from the past or a popular one at that time to be true and using it as a foundation for science when it will most likely lead to faulty findings.
7.
One of the three tables he uses to explain his method of science as a constructive process… this one lists all the known objects where a particular occurrence is present.
8.
this one lists all the known objects where a particular occurrence is not present.
9.
this one measures the degree to which the occurrence differs when comparing the different objects in which that instance occurs.
10.
His method is largely based on the physical world and what you can physically experience through your senses. and learning through observations, experimentaion and mathematical procedures.
11.
he thought aristotle lacked an overall theory of science as a whole that tied all the pieces together into one big rule that could be used in any area of discovery.
