  5. Introduction • What is Science? • Take 5 minutes and write down what you think science is. Why did you say what you did? • Take 5 minutes to share with your tablemate your ideas. Justify your answer. What sources can you use to help you decide? Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  6. Attributes of Science • Every scientific activity is characterized by two partial activities • One is some form of observation/perception. • The other part is some form of thought activity • Science investigates natural phenomena of every conceivable sort–from the physical to the biological to the social • One important criterion is that work be reproducible, others should be able to get the same results given the same procedures Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  7. What is Science? • Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding. Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  8. Three ring binder Recommend you get two, a small and a big Bring the small in every day with notebook paper Every once in awhile, transfer the contents of the small binder to the big binder In addition to assignments, your small binder will be randomly collected and graded Contents All homework All lab data All notes All handouts All classwork All tests Print your name, date and class period on every page you write Keep it organized so you can find things easily Your Science (only) Notebook Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  9. Solving Problems • What are the steps you need to take to solve a problem? • Why did you choose the things you selected? Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  10. The Scientific Method • State the problem • You cannot solve a problem unless you know exactly what the problem is! • Research the problem • What will it take to solve the problem? • What do I know? • What do I need to know? Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  11. The Scientific Method • Form a hypothesis • What are the possible solutions to the problem? • What is the best guess you can make based on your research? • The simplest solution is often the best! • Test the hypothesis • Perform and experiment Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  12. The Scientific Method • Draw conclusions from the data • Data are the results of your experiment • There are two possible conclusions • The data supports your hypothesis • PROBLEM SOLVED • The data does not support your hypothesis • DON’T GIVE UP Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  13. The Scientific Method • If the data does not support your hypothesis • Do more research • Question the original hypothesis • Review the experiment, was it done wrongly • Form a new hypothesis • Base it on new research • Test the new hypothesis Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt

  14. Use the Scientific Method • You do not want to go to the dance alone. Use the Scientific Method to find a date for Saturday night. Chemistry Chapter 0.ppt
