What is Science?

What is Science? Science is a process that uses observations and investigations to gain knowledge about events in nature.

Major Categories of Science Life Science – deals with living things Earth Science – Earth and space Physical Science – deals with matter and energy Scientific study may overlap one or more categories!

Science Explains Nature Scientific explanations help you understand what is going on in the natural world. Sometimes explanations must be modified if new technology or new information is discovered

Scientists learn new information by performing investigations. Example: How do you know if you have allergies? Observations Experiments Modeling

What is the Scientific Method? The Scientific Method is an organized set of investigational procedures

1. State the Problem Why? How? Should be stated in a clear and concise manner

2.Gather Information You must learn as much as possible about background of the problem before you can begin Your own research Research from other scientists

3.Form a Hypothesis Educated guess A possible explanations for the problem Educated guess It is based on knowledge and observation It provides a direction to the experimental process It can be proved or disproved If THEN statement should be made.

4. Materials Include all items that are needed for the experiment

5. List the Procedure List the step-by-step explanation of the experimental process Step 1: Get 2 slices of bread Step 2: Put mustard on the top slice Step 3: Place a hamburger patty on the bread Step 4: Put cheese on the patty Step 5: Add 2 pickles Step 6: Eat!!

6. List the Results Organize the data The results should be written in the form of observations Analyze the data from the experiment Organize the data Paragraph from Tables Graphs

7. Drawing a Conclusion Was your hypothesis correct? The conclusion is drawn by looking at the results and comparing them with the problem Was your hypothesis correct? WHY or WHY NOT? Explain!!!

Review: The Scientific Method State the Problem Gather Information Form a Hypothesis List the Materials List the Procedure Analyze the Results Conclusion: Was your hypothesis correct? Why or Why not?
