Section 1-1
What is Science?
• Science is a method for studying the natural world. It is a process that uses observation (using your senses to gather information) and investigation to gain knowledge about events in nature.
Major Categories of Science
•Earth science investigates Earth and space.
•Physical science deals with matter and energy.
•Life science deals with living things.
• Sometimes, scientifc studies will overlap the categories.
![Page 5: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Section 1-1
Science Explains Nature
• Scientific explanations help you understand the natural world.
• Sometimes these explanations must be modified.
− As more is learned about the natural world, some of the earlier explanations might be found to be incomplete or new technology might provide more accurate answers.
![Page 6: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Section 1-1
InvestigationsScientists learn new information by performing investigations.
•Some investigations involve observing something that occurs and recording the observations.
•Other investigations involve setting up experiments that test the effect of one thing on another. (An experiment is a set of controlled conditions that test the hypothesis.)
•Some involve building a model that resembles something in the natural world and then testing the model to see how it acts.
![Page 7: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Section 1-1
Scientific Methods
• The scientific method is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, physics, biology, or another science.
• It is an organized set of investigation procedures.
• It is a process that is used to find answers to questions about the world around us. And, it provides methods for scientists to verify the work of others.
![Page 8: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Section 1-1
Scientific Methods (cont.)
• Although there is not always the same exact steps in the scientific method, investigations often follow a general pattern.
• The steps in a scientific method are repeated until a hypothesis is supported or discarded.
![Page 9: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Section 1-1
• The first step in the scientific method always begins with identification of a problem or a question to be answered based on observations and provides an organized method for conducting an experiment.
• An observation is the act of gathering information (often called data) and leads to a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for what has been observed.
– Qualitative data is obtained through observations that describe color, smell, shape, or some other physical characteristic that is related to the five senses.
– Quantitative data is obtained from numerical observations that describe how much, how little, how big or how fast.

Section 1-1
• An experiment tests the effect of one thing on another and usually contains at least two variables.
• A variable is a quantity or condition that can have more than one value.
• Ex. Fertilizer experiment
• An independent variable is the variable you plan to change.
• The dependent variable is the variable that changes in value in response to a change in the independent variable.
Components of an Experiment
![Page 11: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Section 1-1
Components of an Experiment (cont.)
• A factor that is not allowed to change when other variables change is called a constant.
• A control is a standard for comparison by which the test results can be compared.
•An inference is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
![Page 12: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Section 1-1
• Data analysis is the careful and systematic analysis of the data generated in a experiment
• A conclusion is a judgment based on the information obtained from the experiment.
Scientific Methods (cont.)
– A hypothesis is never proven, only supported or discarded.
![Page 13: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Section 1-1
• Scientists should also be careful to reduce bias in their experiments. A bias occurs when what the scientist expects changes how the results are viewed.
• This expectation might cause a scientist to select a result from one trial over those from other trials.
• Scientists can lessen bias by running as many trials as possible and by keeping accurate notes of each observation made.
Being Objective
![Page 14: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Valid experiments must have data that are measureable. Why?– This allows others to compare the results to
data they obtain from a similar experiment.
• Most importantly, the experiment must be repeatable.
• Findings are supportable when other scientists perform the same experiment and get the same results.
Being Objective (cont.)
![Page 15: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Sometimes, scientists cannot see everything that they are testing.– They might be observing something that is too
large, too small, or takes too much time to see completely.
Visualizing with Models
![Page 16: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Section 1-1
• A model is a verbal, visual, or mathematical explanation of experimental data that can be tested and used to make predictions.
• A model represents an idea, event, or object to help people better understand it.
Visualizing with Models (cont.)
![Page 17: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Section 1-1
• A theory is an explanation of things or events based on knowledge gained from many observation and investigations.
• Just because a scientific theory has data supporting it, that does not mean it will never change.
• As more is learned about the natural world, some of the earlier explanations might be found to be incomplete or new technology might provide more accurate answers.
Scientific Theories and Laws
![Page 18: Exit 08.06.14 The Nature of Science Section 1.1Section 1.1The Methods of Science Section 1.2Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement Section 1.3Section 1.3.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649e5e5503460f94b57690/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• A scientific law is a statement about what happens in nature that is supported by many experiments, and no exceptions to these relationships are found.− Laws tell you what will happen under certain
conditions, but they don’t explain why or how something happens.
– Example of a scientific law...GRAVITY
• A theory can be used to explain a law.

• Science can help you explain many things about the world, but science cannot explain or solve everything.– Most questions about emotions and values
are not scientific questions– They CANNOT be tested.
• A survey might predict that you would like a specific piece of art, but science cannot prove that you or others will.

Section 1-1
Using Science - Technology
• Science and technology are NOT the same
• Technology is defined as the practical use of scientific information concerned with making improvements in human life and the world around us. It is the application of science to help people.
• Example - developing vs. using
• Technology does not always follow science; sometimes the process of discovery can be reversed.

Dimensional Analysis
• Dimensional analysis is a systematic approach to problem solving that uses conversion factors to move, or convert, from one unit to another.
• A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent values having different units.
• If a conversion factor is expressed as a fraction, then it has a value of 1.
• Multiplying a quantity by 1 does not change the value of the quantity.

Section 1.2 Standards of Measurement
Key Concepts
• A standard of measurement is an exact quantity that people agree to use as a basis of comparison.
• When a standard of measurement is established, all measurements are compared to the exact quantity – the standard. Therefore, all measurements can be compared with one another.
• The most commonly used SI units include: length – meter, volume – liter, mass – kilogram, and time – second.
• In SI, prefixes are used to make the base units larger or smaller by multiples of ten.

Key Concepts
• SI measurement units allow scientists to report data to other scientists.
• Any SI unit can be converted to any other related SI unit by multiplying by the appropriate conversion factor.
• To convert to Kelvin temperature, add 273 to the Celsius temperature. K = °C + 273
• Volume and density have derived units. Density, which is a ratio of mass to volume, can be used to identify an unknown sample of matter.

Section 1.3 Scientific Notation and Dimensional AnalysisKey Concepts
• Scientific notation makes it easier to handle extremely large or small measurements.
• Numbers expressed in scientific notation are a product of two factors: (1) a number between 1 and 10 and (2) ten raised to a power.
• Numbers added or subtracted in scientific notation must be expressed to the same power of ten.
• When measurements are multiplied or divided in scientific notation, their exponents are added or subtracted, respectively.
