3. Early Physics When people questioned WHY things are the way they are When people questioned WHY things are the way they are Galileo began to examine “WHY” and developed a method to figure them out (about 1600 AD). This led to the scientific method. Galileo began to examine “WHY” and developed a method to figure them out (about 1600 AD). This led to the scientific method. Scientific method provides a way to understand our world and how things work Scientific method provides a way to understand our world and how things work

4. Scientific Method Steps taken to “figure things out” Steps taken to “figure things out” Observe and question. Observe and question. Make hypothesis of how it does and doesn’t work. Make hypothesis of how it does and doesn’t work. Experiment to test the hypothesis. Experiment to test the hypothesis. Analyze the experiment results. Experiment again if needed. Analyze the experiment results. Experiment again if needed. Conclusion. Conclusion. Others test the conclusion. Others test the conclusion. It can be an accident! It can be an accident!

10. Science  Some of the first things studied involved motion of the stars, planets, and objects on earth, which is part of Physics.  As Physics developed, several specialties resulted  When science and technology had advance enough, developments in Physics led to the specialty of Chemistry  When further advances were made in Chemistry, that led to the specialty of Biology
