What is Science? Science is the attempt to understand the world we live in. It tries to find general principles to explain why things are as they are and why things happen the way they do.

What is the “heart” of Science? What? Why? How? When? Where? Progress in science depends on people who not only wonder how the world works but who also take the time to develop questions that can be tested and answered. Questioning

SCIENTIST What is a scientist? A Scientist is someone who investigates to solve a problem

Do you see yourself as a scientist? We are all scientists because we solve problems just the way scientists do.

Sir Alexander Fleming His ability to question and to seek answers to these questions (as well as some luck) led to the discovery of one of the most important medical breakthroughs in history.

Important Scientific Terms: Observations : Information that is collected with any of the senses. Instruments can enhance our senses. Qualitative - observation that uses the five sense (sight, smell, touch, taste, sound). Quantitative - observations made with instruments such as rulers, balances, graduated cylinders, beakers, thermometers. These results are measurable.

What is an inference? An inference is a conclusion or deduction based on observations. INFERENCES

What is evidence? Evidence : Support for the idea that something is true.

ASSUMPTIONS What is an assumption? A statement that you believe to be true, but cannot be proven. All scientists should not make assumptions.

OPINIONS What is an opinion? Ideas people have that may or may not be true Opinions are often biased and should not be included in science

How do scientists solve problems? SCIENTIFIC METHOD! Definition: A process that is used to logically solve problems

SCIENTIFIC METHOD STEPS: Problem Observation Research Hypothesis: What does this mean? Experiment Results/Data Conclusion
