The Scientific MethodThe Scientific Method Most scientific and technological advances are through Most scientific and technological advances are through
the use of experimentation as a method of problem-the use of experimentation as a method of problem-solvingsolving
Experimentation is a process that is used to explore Experimentation is a process that is used to explore observations and answer questions, i.e., to search for observations and answer questions, i.e., to search for cause and effect cause and effect relationships in nature relationships in nature
In general, no two scientist will approach a problem In general, no two scientist will approach a problem exactly in the same mannerexactly in the same manner
Scientist (chemists) use a method of learning that emphasizes observation and experimentation: the Scientific Method
Within the scientific method are the guidelines for the practice of science to achieve systematic experimentation
The Scientific MethodThe Scientific Method Scientific Method: A set of procedures (steps)
used to acquire knowledge and explain an observable fact
The process (steps):1) Observations: Identify the problem and plan
procedures to obtain information Collect Data: Observe, describe, and take
measurements (data) Organize data to find patterns in the information
2) Once sufficient data is collected, form a hypothesis A hypothesis is a possible model or statement
that offers an explanation for the observations
The Scientific MethodThe Scientific MethodDesign an ExperimentDesign an Experiment The problem: How, What, When, The problem: How, What, When,
Who, Which, Why, or Where? Who, Which, Why, or Where? Research to find the best way to Research to find the best way to
approach thingsapproach things Make an educated guess about Make an educated guess about
how things work: how things work:
““If ___ (I do this)___, then___ If ___ (I do this)___, then___ (this)___will happen.” (this)___will happen.”
Your hypothesis should be stated Your hypothesis should be stated in a way that is measurable to in a way that is measurable to help answer your original questionhelp answer your original question
Test your hypothesis by doing an Test your hypothesis by doing an experimentexperiment
Design the experiment so that Design the experiment so that changes in one item causes changes in one item causes something else to vary in a something else to vary in a predictable waypredictable way
The Scientific Method: The Scientific Method: Hypothesis, Theory, LawHypothesis, Theory, Law
3) Experiments: A well-defined, controlled procedure to : A well-defined, controlled procedure to obtain informationobtain information
To validate the hypothesis perform more To validate the hypothesis perform more experimentsexperiments
If an experiment is performed under exactly the If an experiment is performed under exactly the same conditions, the same results (facts) should same conditions, the same results (facts) should occuroccur
If results are different than predicted, modify or If results are different than predicted, modify or propose a new hypothesispropose a new hypothesis
4) Theory A hypothesis that has been tested and validated A hypothesis that has been tested and validated
over a long period of timeover a long period of time Hypothesis evolves to theory if experiments are Hypothesis evolves to theory if experiments are
repeated and confirm the hypothesis repeated and confirm the hypothesis
The Scientific Method:The Scientific Method:Hypothesis, Theory, LawHypothesis, Theory, Law
If after extensive testing If after extensive testing the reliability of a the reliability of a hypothesis becomes very hypothesis becomes very high, it will evolve into a high, it will evolve into a theorytheory
A theory allows a scientist A theory allows a scientist to predict the outcome of to predict the outcome of proposed experimentsproposed experiments
If results of future If results of future experiments conflict with experiments conflict with the current theory it must the current theory it must either be modified, either be modified, restated, or even restated, or even replacedreplaced
The Scientific Method:The Scientific Method:Hypothesis, Theory, LawHypothesis, Theory, Law
After determining what facts are After determining what facts are known about a selected problem, known about a selected problem, more experimentation is performed more experimentation is performed to obtain more informationto obtain more information
As more facts are obtained, look As more facts are obtained, look for repeating patterns among the for repeating patterns among the collected facts collected facts
If a large number of facts are tied If a large number of facts are tied together, it can eventually lead to a together, it can eventually lead to a single generalized statement called single generalized statement called a a scientific law scientific law

Example IExample I
Your hypothesis is based on the fact that Your hypothesis is based on the fact that tomato plants need sunshine to produce tomato plants need sunshine to produce sugar (by photosynthesis) and bear fruitsugar (by photosynthesis) and bear fruit
You observe that the tomato plants You observe that the tomato plants exposed to more sunlight appear to grow exposed to more sunlight appear to grow largerlarger
You set up an You set up an experiment experiment with two sets of with two sets of plants. Both receive the same care with plants. Both receive the same care with one set exposed to more sunlight one set exposed to more sunlight
