Is Seeing Believing?

THE NATURE OF SCIENCE

MAIN IDEAS SUPPORTING DETAILS

Nature of Science Notes AIM/GOAL OF SCIENCE To understand the world around us

Nature of Science Notes AIM/GOAL OF SCIENCE LIMITATION To understand the world around us Limited to the real world

Nature of Science Notes AIM/GOAL OF SCIENCE LIMITATION CRITICAL THINKING To understand the world around us Limited to the real world Science and CT go hand-in-hand

Nature of Science Notes ASSUMPTIONS 1. 1.The world is real 2. 2.We can know about the world 3. 3.Uniformity Things are the same everywhere e.x. Gravity 4. 4.Natural/Natural “willy and ethel cartoon”

Nature of Science Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge Uncertain Contingent Evidence NOT proof! –Evidence = OBSERVATIONS & INFERENCES! Modifiable –can change conclusions based on new knowledge –new observations and inferences

Nature of Science Notes Types of Scientific Knowledge Hypothesis: Testable statement based on observation Theory: EXPLANATION of a set of observations LOTS of data! Has been repeatedly confirmed! Fact: Agreed-upon observation Ex. 206 bones in human body Can change, too!

Nature of Science Critical Thinking Does NOT take things for granted Does NOT rely on authority Individual consideration Duh! –Truth is not obvious Uncertainty = Reality INDIVIDUAL DECISION- MAKING!

REALLY… SCIENCE + CRITICAL THINKING = TRUE LOVE!

NATURE OF SCIENCE Science and Society It is a two-way street! SCIENCE influences society –Ex. Roe vs. Wade –Global Warming SOCIETY influences science –Ex. AIDS and Stem- cell research –Global Warming

REFLECTION Write about –3 NEW insights about science that you have gained so far this year –2 things that are similar to what you have learned in past science classes –1 question you still have about the Nature of Science
