LESSON TITLE: CONCLUSIONS, THEORIES, LAWS, AND MODELS
Anticipation Guide (10-15 min) • Before reading the entire article, mark if you agree or disagree with each. • After reading the entire article, fill in the paragraph number where you found the answer to each statement. • Reflection: Were you correct or not? What did you learn?
Reminder! Conclusions • Key Point #1: A conclusion is a judgment based on data from a scientific experiment.
What is a scientific law? Key Point #2: A scientific law is a concise (short) statement that summarizes the results of many observations and experiments. • Laws are NOT long explanations • That is what theories are for!
What is a scientific theory? Key Point #3: A scientific theory is a well-tested explanation for a broad set of observations. • Higher level than hypothesis (many tests needed to support a theory) • Can be or may need to be changed in the future
From HowStuffWorks.com • WHAT IS A THEORY? In science, a theory is an attempt to explain a particular aspect of the universe. Theories can't be proven, but they can be disproven. If observations and tests support a theory, it becomes stronger and usually more scientists will accept it. If the evidence contradicts the theory, scientists must either discard the theory or revise it in light of the new evidence.
THEORY Explanation supported by many, many experiments MORE THAN ONE SCIENTIST Takes time! How is a THEORY different from a CONCLUSION or HYPOTHESIS?
Acceptance of Scientific DiscoveryThe Long Version • Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results: • Can an expert's technique or theory be tested, has it been tested, or is it simply a subjective, conclusive approach that cannot be reasonably assessed for reliability? • Has the technique or theory been subjected to peer review and publication? • What is the known or potential rate of error of the technique or theory when applied? • Were standards and controls applied and maintained? • Has the technique or theory been generally accepted in the scientific community?
Acceptance of Scientific Discovery“Cliff’s Notes” • Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results: • Has it been adequately tested? • Has peer review occurred? • What kind of error does it have? • Were there standards or control groups? • Has it been accepted by scientific community?
What is a scientific model? Key Point #4: A scientific model is a simplified description of something that happens in nature (or technology), and it can be used to make predictions.
