SCIENTIFIC THINKING


29/2

THIS IS WHERE THE

HEADING AND TEXT PAGE

NUMBERS GO

THERE WILL BE MORE ON THIS LATER BUT

SCIENTIFIC THINKING:

• IS SKEPTICAL – DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING WITHOUT DATA

• RELIES ON EXPERIMENTAL DATA• EXPERIMENTS CAN BE REPEATED• MAKE PREDICTIONS, THEN TESTS

THEM• ADAPTS TO NEW OBSERVATIONS• IS VERIFIED BY OTHERS

IS BESIDE THE INDEX WORD

WHICH IS NOT TRUE OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING?

• A. IS SKEPTICAL• B. BELIEVE ANYTHING SEEN ON T.V. • C. RELIES ON EXPERIMENTAL

EVIDENCE• D. ADAPTS TO NEW OBSERVATIONS• E. EXPERIMENTS AND

OBSERVATIONS MUST BE REPEATED

HYPOTHESIS

• A TENTATIVE EXPLAINATION FOR AN OBSERVATION

• EDUCATED GUESS• IS NOT PROVEN (YET)• IS TESTABLE (YOU HAVE TO BE

ABLE TO SET UP AN EXPERIMENT)• NO WRONG HYPOTHESES (UNTIL IT

IS PROVEN WRONG)• IF - THEN STATEMENT

WHAT IS TRUE FOR A HYPOTHESIS?

• A. IS A FACT

• B. CAN NEVER BE CHANGED OR MODIFIED

• C. IS A BEST EDUCATED GUESS

• D. HAS EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE

WHAT IS THE LAST THING A REDNECK SAYS BEFORE

HE DIES?“HEY! WATCH THIS …….”

THEORY

• BEST EXPLAINATION TO EXPLAIN FACTS

• HAS DATA TO SUPPORT IT

• MAKES PREDICTION

• (THAT CAN BE TESTED WITH AN EXPERIMENT)

• HAS PASSED EVERY EXPERIMENT

WHICH IS TRUE OF A THEORY BUT NOT A

HYPOTHESES?

• A. IS AN EDUCATED GUESS

• B. IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE

• C. MAKES PREDICTIONS

• D. IS AN IDEA

A GOOD PLACE TO STOP

BUT NOT FOR THE POSSUM

MOST PEOPLE USE THE WORD THEORY INCORRECTLY

• THEY USE THE WORD “THEORY” WHEN THEY MEAN “BELIEVE”

• THIS GETS CONFUSING

• THEORIES ARE BASED ON FACTS AND EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE

• BELIEFS ARE JUST WHAT YOU THINK OR WANT TO BE TRUE

I HAVE A THEORY

THAT ALIENS ARE

EATING PEOPLE

DO YOU HAVE ANY

PROOF?

OF COURSE NOT, THERE IS A GOV’T COVERUP

THEN THAT IS JUST

WHAT YOU BELIEVE

NOT A THEORY

I WILL GET THEM TO STUDY MY THEORY IN

SCHOOL

THEN EVERYONE

WILL BELIEVE IT

WITH NO EXPERIMENTA

IT IS JUST YOUR

OPINION

I DON’T NEED EVIDENCE……. I

THINKING LIKE A SCIENTIST EVERYDAY

• YOU WERE BORN WITH SCIENCE THINKING SKILLS

• YOU USE THEM EVERYDAY• YOU JUST DON’T CALL IT THE SCIENTIFIC

METHOD• YOU OBSERVE• YOU THINK• YOU MAKE IDEAS• YOU EXPERIMENT• YOU MAKE CONCLUSIONS• YOU LEARN FROM THESE THINGS

SCIENTIFIC THINKING

• OBSERVE

• ANALYZE

• SYNTHESIZE

• TEST
