  1. Catalyst 1. Turn in your Questionnaire in the box at the front of class 2. On a sheet of paper, answer the following question in one paragraph: If you could invent anything, what would it be? Why? Be thoughtful.

  2. Science is observing, studying and experimenting to find the nature of things. • The two main branches are social science and natural science.

  3. Life science • biology

  4. Physical science • Chemistry • Physics

  5. Earth science • Geology • Meteorology

  6. Integrated Physics and Chemistry is a comprehensive course that unites two of the fundamental sciences.

  7. Technology is the application of science • An example of technology is an airplane http://vod.esc11.net/videos/v2.2/25229/sec15709_300k.mp4

  8. Theories and laws are supported by observation

  9. Scientific theory is a tested, possible explanation of a natural event. • An example is the Big Bang Theory http://vod.esc11.net/videos/v2.2/11303/chp895689_300k.mp4

  10. Scientific law is a summary of an observed natural event. • An example is the Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation http://vod.esc11.net/videos/v2.2/1007/chp6678_300k.mp4

  11. Scientists make laws and theories based on observations and measurements

  12. Qualitative information is based on an observation—it’s QUALITY • Quantitative information is based on mathematical equations and QUANTITY • Scientific models are used to simplify very big, very small or very complex ideas.

  13. Theories and laws are NOT absolute. • An example is the Geocentric Model
