  2. Conceptual Physics Chapter 1 • Physics is the most basic of all sciences • Motion, forces, energy, matter, sound, lightand composition of atoms • Mathematics is the language of science

  3. Conceptual Physics Chapter 1 • Scientific method is the process of Physics • Recognize a problem • Form a Hypothesis (a educated guess) • Predict consequences from Hypothesis • Test Hypothesis • Formulate general rule/laws

  4. Conceptual Physics Chapter 1 • Facts are revisable data about the world • Theory interpret facts • Law is a hypothesis tested repeatedly and not proven wrong
