1. Chapter 1- The Nature of Science
For the first page in your notebook, illustrate what you think science is!

2. How do we “do” science? Scientific Method State the problem
Gather information
Form a hypothesis/state the research question
Variables: dependent, independent
Constants and controls
Test the hypothesis
Analyze data
Draw conclusions
Bias-occurs when what the scientist expects changes how the results are viewed.
Complete the flip chart on scientific method in your notebook!

3. Law vs. Theory –a theory can be used to explain a law!
Explanation of things or events based on knowledge gained from many observations and investigations.
NOT a guess!
CAN be modified!
Examples: Big Bang
A statement about what happens in nature that seems to be true all the time.
They do NOT explain why.
Examples: gravity

4. Measure up!
Precision
Accuracy
How closely measurements are to each other and how carefully measurement are made.
Compares a measurement to the real or accepted values.
Draw in notebook

5. Measurement-SI Units Based on multiples of 10
Standard is the kilogram kept in France!
Meter is base unit of length
Second is base unit for time
Kelvin is base unit for temperature

12. Volume Mass Volume-the amount of space occupied by an object
V=l x w x h
1mL = 1 cm(cubed)
Create a density column in your notebook!
Mass- is a measurement of the quantity of matter in an object.
Density- is the mass per unit volume of a material
Measured in a derived unit: g/cm(cubed)
Density column-why important in real world colored water, dawn, iso alcohol, veggie oil
Density lab from interactive notebook

0, 100
Body temp is 37
Fahrenheit
32, 212
Body temp
is 98.6
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin (K)
0 is coldest possible temp also known as Absolute Zero. (-273 C!!)
Water boils at 373 K

14. Graphs A graph is a visual display of information or data
Line graph-can show any relationship where the dependent variable changes due to a change in independent variable.
Bar graph-comparing information
Circle graph-shows how some fixed quantity is broken down into parts.
