  6. Some Science Terminology • law - generalized statement of a relationship between variables in a system based on repeated experimentation; can be used to predict behavior of a system *As the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases. • theory - generalized explanation for observations based on repeated experimentation or observations *Gas behavior such as expansion with heat or increased pressure with decreasing volume is a result of particles that are far apart and moving rapidly

  7. Some Science Terminology • scientific belief something that is accepted as true based on scientific evidence but cannot be proven at that time  *All protons are identical *The sun will rise tomorrow.

  8. Scientific Method (idealized) • Make an observation that generates a question. • Form a testable hypothesis that addresses the question. • Design and conduct an experiment to prove or disprove the hypothesis. • Analyze the data. • Form a conclusion about the hypothesis.
