2. Chapter 1

3. Science: The observation and investigation of the natural world The observation and investigation of the natural world

4. Branches of Science Earth and Space Science Earth and Space Science Life Science Life Science Physical Science Physical Science

5. Physical Science The study of matter and energy

6. Physical Science a. Physics: The study of energy and its effects on matter

7. Physical Science b. Chemistry- the study of the structure of matter and the changes it undergoes due to energy.

8. Two types of science pure science pure science applied science applied science

9. Pure Science Studying a subject to learn more about it Studying a subject to learn more about it (Observation)

10. 2 types of Observations: Qualitative observation: describe features of the object (color, shape, smell, etc) Qualitative observation: describe features of the object (color, shape, smell, etc) Quantitative observation: describe an amount of a feature (involves numbers) Quantitative observation: describe an amount of a feature (involves numbers)

12. How many animals can you find? Earth by Giuseppe Arcimboldo

13. Ten Friends by D.L. Rust. Find the missing friend.

14. Inference: Logical guess based on some evidence.

15. Infer what season you think it is.

18. Applied Science (Technology) turning observations into inventions turning observations into inventions Examples: Examples:  cars, eyeglasses, etc. Technology

19. Turning observations into inferences http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html 1)Take out a piece of notebook paper 2)Write down as many observations about each slide as you can. 3)Make an inference about what you think the next few slide will show.

20. Measuring w/ a ruler

27. Theory – a well-tested explanation for observations or results Ex. Theory of how dinosaurs became extinct

28. Scientific Law – describes an observed pattern in nature Ex. Law of gravity

29. What does a scientist do? Make Observations Make Observations Ask Questions, Be Curious Ask Questions, Be Curious Solve Problems Solve Problems

30. The End

31. Problem Solving or Looking for the answer ?

32. Solve the Problem (3 steps) 1) Gather Information 1) Gather Information 2) Plan a Strategy 2) Plan a Strategy 3) Make a Prediction 3) Make a Prediction

33. 1) Gather Information Look for any patterns Has anyone else had the problem Have you ever had the problem

34. 2) Plan a Strategy Figure out the potential solutions Can you test the potential solutions one at a time

35. 3) Make a Prediction Keep it simple at first It should be testable
