  1. Chapter 1 CPO Science Foundations of Physics

  2. Introduction Chapter 1: The Science of Physics • 1.1 The Science of Physics • 1.2 The Development of Scientific Knowledge • 1.3 Physics is Useful

  3. Chapter 1 Objectives • Describe the process of inquiry and the relationship between inquiry and learning science. • Describe the difference between matter and energy. • Explain the relationship between a theory, a hypothesis and an experiment. • Describe how scientific evidence is used to judge truth. • Describe at least three examples of how physics knowledge is used in a career or occupation outside of physics.

  4. natural law process analysis inquiry hypothesis experiment theory energy matter scientific evidence objectivity repeatability Chapter 1 Vocabulary Terms *Read Chapter One as an introduction. There is no accompanying investigation.

  5. 1.1 The Science of Physics Three fundamental aspects of Physics: • Describing the organization of the universe. • matter and energy • Understanding the natural laws that govern the universe. • belief that all events follow a set of laws that do not change • Deducing and applying natural laws. • science as a process

  6. Matter and Energy 1.1 The Science of Physics *The universe consists of only matter and energy

  7. Inquiry and Observation 1.1 The Science of Physics *We will explore Physics using inquiry through observation.

  8. 1.1 Inquiry Three valuable things are learned by discovering the natural laws through inquiry: • It includes very practical knowledge. • Once you know how something generally works, you can often figure out how to make it work for you. • You will learn to solve real-life problems.

  9. Using Problem Solving Techniques • Step 1 • Determine what the problem asks you to find out. • Step 2 • Identify the information you are given. • Step 3 • Identify laws or relationships. • Step 4 • Apply the given information and the relationships.

  10. Foundations of Physics Units

  11. Models, Evidence, Analysis and Theories 1.2 Development of Scientific Knowledge

  12. Importance of Experiments We use experiments to test and evaluate theories. 1.2 Development of Scientific Knowledge

  13. Scientific Evidence Images and sketches Measurements and data Graphs and charts 1.2 Development of Scientific Knowledge

  14. Scientific Knowledge and the Solar System Early civilizations believed the Earth was covered by a dome on which the sun, stars and planets moved. In the Middle Ages, people thought the sun, stars and planets circled the Earth. Today we know the earth and planets orbit the sun. 1.2 Development of Scientific Knowledge

  15. Engineering Medicine and health professions 1.3 Physics is Useful

  16. Business and finance Art, music, and food 1.3 Physics is Useful

  17. The relationship between physics and other fields of science 1.3 Physics is Useful
