  1. Unit Outline--Topics • What is Physics? • Branches of Science • Science Terms • Scientific models • Analyzing in Physics • Measuring and Units • Powers of Ten and conversions • Graphing • Experimental Design • Science vs. Technology

  2. SCIENCE—what did you discover? • Purpose of science: to know and explain the natural universe • Science starts with a question. • Science assumes that the universe is orderly and can be explained. • Science is unbiased (objective, not subjective).

  3. BRANCHES OF SCIENCE

  4. The pursuit of knowledge about the natural world. The study and investigation of nature’s rules. Example A physicist tries to understand how the Sun gives us light. Science

  5. Significance of Science • The search for knowledge adds to our understanding of the physical world. • Scientists want to know! • Science affects society by • stimulating thought • satisfying curiosity • influencing views of the world • providing knowledge necessary for new technological advances

  6. The Branches and Disciplines of Science Natural Science Life Science Physical Science 1. Biology 2. Zoology 3. Botany Earth Science 1. Geology 2. Meteorology 1. Physics 2. Chemistry

  7. The branches of science are separate, yet integrated. Physical Science Earth Science Life Science

  8. Significance of Branches of Science • Separate, but integrated • Example: the study of fossils requires an understanding of geology and biology! • Branches of Natural Science • Earth Science • Life Science • Physical science: Chemistry and Physics.
