  3. Presentation 1 Science and prediction

  4. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre

  5. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre KNOWLEDGE ISSUE To what extent does prediction test the validity of a scientific theory? KEY: Extraction

  6. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre KNOWLEDGE ISSUE To what extent does prediction test the validity of a scientific theory? KEY: Extraction Development General nature of scientific theory

  7. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre Geology: tectonic theory as an explanation for continental drift Predictions generated by standard tectonic theory Explanatory power, predictions from patterns Strengths KNOWLEDGE ISSUE To what extent does prediction test the validity of a scientific theory? KEY: Extraction Development Application back General nature of scientific theory

  8. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre Application of, and responses to, these difficulties in the context of the tsunami Geology: tectonic theory as an explanation for continental drift Predictions generated by standard tectonic theory Explanatory power, predictions from patterns Observer effects Strengths Problems Problems of induction and generalization KNOWLEDGE ISSUE To what extent does prediction test the validity of a scientific theory? Confounding variables, complexity of interactions Amenability to experimentation, historical versus experimental data Difficulties with measurement, specifying Initial conditions KEY: Extraction Development Application back General nature of scientific theory

  9. Presentation 1: Science and Prediction Chemistry: valence shell electron pair repulsion theory REAL LIFE SITUATION The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the location of its epicentre Chemistry: Mendeleev and periodicity Application of, and responses to, these difficulties in the context of the tsunami Geology: tectonic theory as an explanation for continental drift Economics: the Phillips curve Other real-life situations (natural sciences and human sciences) Predictions generated by standard tectonic theory Biology: evolution by natural selection: homology, palaeontology, artificial selection, etc. Explanatory power, predictions from patterns Observer effects Strengths Problems Problems of induction and generalization KNOWLEDGE ISSUE To what extent does prediction test the validity of a scientific theory? Confounding variables, complexity of interactions Amenability to experimentation, historical versus experimental data Difficulties with measurement, specifying Initial conditions KEY:Extraction Development Application back Application onward General nature of scientific theory
