3. The Scientific Method

4. Hypothesis: A Testable Prediction If…then… statement Narrow—tests one, and only one, thing Example 1: The static on your radio increases right before it thunders during a storm. Example 2: People who smoke cough more than people who don’t smoke.

5. Hypothesis: A Testable Prediction If…then… statement Narrow—tests one, and only one, thing Example 3: You sneeze every time you visit your best friend’s house. Example 4: On a cold morning, the air pressure in the tires of your car measures 34 psi. After several hours of high-speed driving, the pressure measures 38 psi.

6. EXPERIMENT Variable: The factor being tested in an experiment Independent Variable: The factor that you change/adjust in the experiment Dependent Variable: The factor that changes due to changes in the independent variable.

7. EXPERIMENT Control: Factor that responds in a predictable way to the experiment –A control is what the rest of the experiment can be compared to Constant: Factor(s) that do not change during the experiment.

8. Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: Control: Constant: EXPERIMENT Pea plant clones are given different amounts of water for a 3 week period. The first plant receives 400 mL a day. The second pea plant receives 200 mL a day. The third pea plant receives 100 mL a day. The fourth pea plant does not receive any extra water, the plant only receives natural ways of receiving water. The height of the pea plants is recorded daily.

9. Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: Control: Constant: EXPERIMENT You want to test which size ball is easiest to juggle. You test a baseball, a softball, a soccer ball and a basketball. You count the seconds you can continuously juggle each type of ball. You want to determine which classroom is the hottest one in the school. Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: Control: Constant:

25. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS What is a conversion factor equal to? How do you use conversion factors?

26. Steps to Dimensional Analysis 1.Start with what you know (number and unit). 2.Times a line. 3.Add a conversion factor so that units cancel and what you are looking for is on top of the ratio. 4.Check your answer. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

27. Uncertainty in Measurements Why are measurements uncertain?  Precision of instrumentation varies  Human error

28. Reading Measurements  The number of digits you should write when writing down a measurement depends on the instrumentation you are using.  You should always include a number and a unit when writing down a measurement  When determining a measurement include all the digits you know for certain plus 1 more digit.

29. Precision  Also called reproducibility or repeatibility  Measurements are close to each other (getting the same measurements each time)

30. Accuracy  Measurements are close to the actual value

31. Graduated Cylinder  Put the cylinder flat on the table and read at the bottom of the miniscus (bubble)

32. Triple Beam Balance

33. OPENER With your partner, make the following measurements. Be sure to make the measurements to the proper # of digits. Be sure to include units for all measurements. Write your answers on a sheet of paper and have Ms. Wack check your answers. All materials are in the back of the classroom.  The volume of water in the 100 mL and 10 mL graduated cylinders.  The length of the paper clip.  The mass of a 100 mL beaker.

34. ROUNDING  The first significant digit is the first nonzero number.  Count the appropriate # of sig figs, if the next number is 5 or greater, round the last number up 1. If not, do nothing. Examples: 2.3344(1) 1.029 (3) 0.00234(2)

35. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES  The certain digits and the estimated digit of a measurement.  All the known digits of a measurement and the one estimated digit.

36. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES 1. All nonzero numbers are significant. 123 = _____ sig figs 2. All zeroes at the beginning are not significant. 0.0025 = _____ sig figs 3. Zeroes between 2 nonzero digits are significant. 5007= ______ sig figs 4. Zeroes at the end of a number are only significant if the number contains a decimal point. 470 = ____ sig figs, 470.0 = ___ sig figs, 0.00470 = ____ sig figs 5. In scientific notation, all numbers in the coefficient are significant. 2.020 x 10 4 = ____ sig figs

37. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES Easier Rule: To count significant figures, if there is a decimal, count all digits including and after the first non-zero number. If there is not a decimal, start counting at the first non-zero number but do not count zeroes at the end of the number. 3.3333 = ______ sig figs2000.0 = ____ sig figs 3023 = ____ sig figs0.216 = ____ sig figs 72800 = ____ sig figs0.009030 = ____ sig figs

38. Round each of the following numbers to 3 significant figures. a) 3.3333d) 0.009030 b) 3023e) 0.21653 c) 0.3287f) 1.99999

39. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES IN CALCULATIONS Multiplication/Division: The measurement with the smallest number of significant figures determines how many significant figures are allowed in the final answer. Addition/Subtraction: The measurement with the smallest number of decimal places determines how many decimal places are allowed in the answer.

40. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES IN CALCULATIONS 0.3287 g x 45.2 g = 0.258 mL  0.36105 mL = 68.32 ns x 1.001 ns x 0.00367 ns = 8.85 cs  333.2 cs = 10 s  5 s = 800.0 mm x 200.00 mm x 10.0 mm =

41. Scientific Notation A number is written in 2 parts.  The first part is a number between 1 & 10  The second part is a power of ten Exponent  Positive exponents represent numbers greater than 1  Negative exponents represent numbers less than 1

42. Scientific Notation To convert a number to scientific notation:  Count how many places the decimal place must be moved to make the number a number between 1 & 10 (the coefficient) The number of spaces the decimal moved is the value of the exponent  If you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative  If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive  Write: Coefficient x 10 exponent To convert a number from scientific notation to regular notation:  If the exponent is positive, move the decimal in the coefficient the number of spaces indicated by the exponent to the right  If the exponent is negative, move the decimal in the coefficient the number of spaces indicated by the exponent to the left.

43. Scientific Notation Example 1: Express each of the following in scientific notation. 8960 = 36,000,000 = 0.00023 =0.000 000 025 3 = Example 2: Express each of the following numbers in regular notation. 4.563 x 10 7 = 2.53 x 10 -3 = 6.805 x 10 8 =1.33450 x 10 -7 =
