3 There are different terms used to describe scientific ideas based on the amount of experimental proof.

4 Is based on emotion and/or faith. And has NO experimental proof.

5 Hypothesis: -An educated statement that uses a few observations and is based off of prior knowledge.

6 Theory: -uses many observations and has loads of experimental proof. - It remains a theory because no one was there to see the action occur.

7 Law: - always occurs the same way time after time, without change. It is experimentally proven over and over.

8 The Scientific method is a process that is used to find answers to questions about the world of science.

9 1. Observation: 2. Forming a Hypothesis: 3. Experiment: 4. Conclusion:

10 All science begins with observation. Something that cannot be observed cannot be investigated by science. This initiates the problem or question.

11 Observations are facts. These facts are gathered with our senses. Sight, touch, smell or taste.

12 After making the observation a scientific guess is made. This is an educated guess based on prior knowledge.

13 This is to gather data/information to see if the hypothesis is correct.

14 Experiments Must contain Controls and Variables. Controls are standards for comparison. These NEVER change from experiment to experiment. Variables are the elements that are being tested. These Could change from experiment to experiment.

15 Is a judgment based on the results of the experiment. This is when you decide if the experiment supports or refutes your hypothesis. Or if the experiment causes you to change the hypothesis.
