Goal 1
Explain how science works
![Page 3: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Science actions– Observing
![Page 4: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
– Studying• Recorded observations
![Page 5: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
– Experimenting
![Page 6: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
– Carefully designed experiments
• Address the phenomenon
• Numerous trials
• Technology and Math
• Transparency
–All methods / data
–Truthful and accurate
–Results tested
![Page 7: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Types of data
1. Quantitative• Numbers• Examples:
2. Qualitative• Descriptive• NO numbers• Examples:
![Page 8: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Quantitative data
![Page 9: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Qualitative data
![Page 10: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Goal 2
Recognize the difference between scientific law and
scientific theory
![Page 11: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Scientific law
– Statement of an observed event / phenomenon
– NO explanation of event / phenomenon
– Example• The sun rises every morning and sets
every evening.
![Page 12: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Scientific theory
– An explanation of an event / phenomenon
– Tested repeatedly
– Can be used to make predictions
– Example• The sun rises every morning and sets
every evening because the earth is rotating
![Page 13: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Law or theory?
1. Objects fall towards the Earth.
2. Objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity.
3. Ice forms on ponds in the winter.
4. Ice forms on ponds in the winter because the temperature drops below 0° celsius.

Goal 3
Describe the 3 branches of science and their specialties*

1. Biological Sciences
• Science of living things
• *Botany = study of plants
• *Zoology = study of animals
• *Ecology = study of interactions in nature
![Page 16: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Physical Science
• Science of matter and energy
• *Physics = forces and energy
• *Chemistry = matter and its changes
![Page 17: 1.1 Nature Of Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052617/548297b15806b5f2048b469e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Earth Science
• Science of Earth
• *Geology = physical nature and history of
Earth
• *Meteorology = atmosphere and weather
