15. What is Chemistry Introduction: Ms. Barkume 9/13 Introduction Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Chemistry seeks to explain the microscopic events that lead to macroscopic observations. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space Mass is the amount of matter a substance has. Weight is the amount of matter a substance has (mass) and the effect of earth’s gravity on that matter.

16. Scientific Method Introduction: Ms. Barkume 9/13 Scientific Method Nature of Science: Science always begins with a question or problem. Make observations during the entire process Experimentation: Scientists typically go down many “dead ends” and require patience to find a solution. Results come from inferences: observations plus knowledge gained from experiment/experience Solutions are never “set in stone” -- Knowledge is always evolving!

17. Scientific Method Often has a mathematical relationship or equation.

18. Aspects of Nature of Science  Tentativeness  Creativity  Observation vs. Inference  Subjectivity  Functions and Relationships of Theory and Law  Socially and Culturally Embedded  Empirically Based

19. Tuesday, September 7 Objective: Students will be able to complete introductory activities Introductions: Get with a partner at your table. You are going to interview one another and then present what you learned about your partner! Questions to ask: 1) What is your partner’s name 2) What is your partner’s age 3) What did your partner do over summer vacation 4) What your partner’s favorite sport/activity 5) Three adjectives that describe your partner
