  2. WARNING!! • SOME OF THE THINGS IN HERE ARE MIXED UP! WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

  3. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • A PROCESS USED BY SCIENTISTS TO STUDY THE NATURAL WORLD. • SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY OFTEN BEGINS WITH A PROBLEM ABOUT AN OBSERVATION.

  4. POSING OUESTIONS • QUESTIONS COME FROM EXPERIENCES, OBSERVATIONS, AND INFERENCES YOU MAKE AND HAD. • SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS ARE QUESTIONS THAT CAN BE ANSWERED BY MAKING AN OBSERVATIONS AND GATHERING EVIDENCE. • QUESTIONS ADOUT PERSONAL OPINIONS ARE NOT SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS.

  5. DEVELOPING A HYPOTHESIS • A HYPOTHESIS IS A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION OR ANSWER TO A SCIENTIFIC QUESTION. • A HYPOTHESIS IS A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. • IT CAN BE PROVED OR DISPROVED WITH AN INVESTIGATION.

  6. DESIGNING AN EXPERIMENT • BEFORE YOU START TO DESIGN AN EXPERIMENT TO TEST YOUR HYPOTHESIS, FIRST YOU HAVE TO STATE A HYPOTHESIS. • A VARIABLE IS A FACTOR THAT CAN CHANGE IN AN EXPERIMENT. • A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT IS AN EXPERIMENT IN WHICH ONLY ONE VARIBLE IS CAGED AT A TIME. • THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE (MANIPULATED VARIABLE) IS A VARIABLE THAT IS CHANGED ON PURPOSE. • THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE (RESPONDING VARIABLE) IS THE FACTOR THAT MAY CHANGE IN RESPONSE TO THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE. • A STATEMENT THAT DESCRIBES HOW TO MEASURE A PARTICULAR VARIABLE OR DEFINE A PARTICULAR TERM.

  7. COLLECTING AND INTERPERTING DATA • FACTS, FIGURES, AND OTHER EVIDENCE THET A SCIENTIST GATHER BY ODSERVATION ARE CALLED DATA. • GRAGHS SHOW PATTERNS AND GRAGH OF DATA CAN BE VERY USEFUL FOR INTERPRETING DATA.

  8. MAKING A PREDITION • A PREDITION IS WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN NEXT. • PERDICTING INVOLVES MAKING AN INFERENCE ABOUT A FUTURE EVENT BASED ON CURRENT EVIDENCE OR PAST EXPERIENCE. • BECAUSE A PERDICTION IS AN INFRENCE, IT MAY PROVE TO BE FALSE.

  9. AN OBSERVATION • WHEN YOU USE ONE OF YOUR FIVE SENCES TO GATHER INFORMATION, THAT CALLED OBSERVING. • AN OBSERVATION MUST BE AN ACCURATE REPORT OF WHAT YOUR SENCES DETECT. • AN OBSERVATION IS LIKE DESCRIBING WHAT YOU SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, AND TOCH .

  10. INFERRING • WHEN YOU INTERPET AN OSERVATION , YOU ARE INFERING. • AN INFRENCE MAY TURN OUT TO BE INCORRECT.

  11. DRAWING CONCLUSIONS • A STATEMENT THAT SUMS UP WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM AN EXPERIMENT. • YOU NEED TO DECIDE WHETHER THE DATA YOU COLLECTED SUPPORT YOUR EXPERIMENT BEFORE YOU CAN DRAW CONCLUSIONS FROM IT. • SOMETIMES, CONCLUSIONSLEAD TO POSE A NEW QUESTIONS AND PLAN A NEW EXPERIMENTS TO ANSWER THEM.

  12. THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN A HYPOTHESIS AND A PERDICTION. • A HYPOTHESIS IS A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR A SET OF OBSERVATIONS OR A ANSWER TO A SCIENTIFIC QUESTION. • A PERDICTION IS WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN NEXT AFTER THE EXPERIMENT (EDUCATED GUESS).

  13. CLASSIFING • CLASSIFIYING HELPS YOU STAY ORGANIZED . • BY PUTTING THE SUBJECT, CLASS, NAME, AND DATE HELPS YOU FIND THINGS FAST.

  14. MAKING MODELS • MAKING MODELS INVOLVES MAKING REPRESENTIONSOF COMPLEX OBJECTS. • THEY HELP PEOPLEUNDERSTAND IT.

  15. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE. • QUANTITATIVE=OBSERVATIONS WITH NUMBERS, RULERS, BALENCES,BEAKERS, AND THERMOMETERS. • QUALITAVE= OBSERVATIONS USING YOUR FIVE SENSES (TOUCH, SMELL, HEAR, TASTE, AND SIGHT.)

  16. SCORES!!!!!!! • I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY EXSTRA POINTS I GOT. SCORE:

  17. THANKS FOR WATHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
