Interest Grabber Understanding Fossil Butte Section 1-1 • In the southwest corner of Wyoming, there is a flat-topped mountain called Fossil Butte. A fossil of a fish was found near the top of Fossil Butte in a rock formation that is about 50 million years old. Fossils of other kinds of fishes, as well as turtles, have been found at Fossil Butte. The land around Fossil Butte is dry, and the Pacific Ocean is more than 1000 km away. How could fossils of sea-dwelling animals have formed at Fossil Butte?

Write these questions on a sheet of paper. • 2.Discuss your questions with your partner, and suggest a possible answer to each question. • 3.How could a scientist go about finding an answer to each of the questions?
Interest Grabber Answers 1. Working with a partner, think of several questions that a scientist might ask in order to understand why there are fish fossils in the desert of Wyoming. Write these questions on a sheet of paper. 2. Discuss your questions with your partner, and suggest a possible answer to each question. 3. How could a scientist go about finding an answer to each of the questions? What other kinds of fossils have been found here? Is there evidence that a lake or inland sea existed in Wyoming at the time the fish lived here? Most fish fossils form in layers of mud and sand, which is evidence that the area was once under water. Scientists would have to dig to look for more fossils and catalog what is found in the same layers with the fish. Geologists would have to map the fossil deposit and look for evidence of a lake shore or inland sea.

California State Standards Covered in Section 1-1 • Investigation and experimentation -1d: formulate explanations by using logic and evidence -1f: Distinguish between hypothesis and theory (1-2) as scientific terms
1–1 What Is Science? • A. What Science Is and Is Not • 1. The goal of science is to ____________and • __________ nature; to • Science is unique because: • It deals only with the _______________ • Scientists collect and organize information looking • for patterns and connections between events • Scientists propose explanations that can be tested • by examining evidence. • 2. _______= an organized way of using evidence to • learn about the natural world investigate explain the events in nature, and to use explanations to make useful predictions. understand Natural World Science
B. Thinking Like a Scientist • 1. ___________: using one or more senses (sight, hearing, • touch, smell, sometimes taste) to gather • information. • 2. ______: information gathered from observations. The two • kinds are: • Quantitative= • Qualitative= • 3. __________: use data to make a logical interpretation based • on prior knowledge and experience. • Example: Test several parts of a reservoir; all samples • are safe; Observations Data involves #’s; counting and measuring objects not easily measured; usually descriptive Inference can infer the reservoir has drinkable water.
X X X X X X X X Observation and Inference Section 1-1 • Object A is a basketball. • Object B is a table-tennis ball. • Object C is a soccer ball. Statement Observation Inference Object A is round and orange. Object A is a basketball. Object C is round and black and white. Object C is larger than Object B. Object B is smooth. Object B is a table-tennis ball. Each object is used in a different sport.
C. Explaining and Interpreting Evidence • 1. Hypothesis: • 2. Developing a hypothesis comes from: • Prior knowledge • Logical inferences • Imaginative guessing • 3. Testing can be done by: • Careful observations • Careful questioning • Often- a controlled experiment possible explanations for a set of observations; an educated guess to a scientific question. Must be able to be tested.
4. Testing might: • Support a hypothesis • Suggests partly true, but needs revision • Refute it- it is wrong • D. Science as a Way of knowing • 1. Science is an _________________ where findings are • ______________________ as new evidence develops ongoing process subject to change
Warm-up question: • List the five main senses-vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch-and give an example of an observation that you have made using each sense. Then, add at least one inference that could be made based on each observation. • Example: (touch)-If a table top feels sticky, someone may have spilled syrup on the table

1–2 How Scientists Work A. Designing an Experiment 1. Step #1: Ex. How do new living things come into being? 2. Step #2: Ex. old belief (observation & reasoning only)- new life arose from nonliving matter (Spontaneous Generation) - maggots arise from meat - mice arise from grain - beetles arose from dung Francisco Redi hypothesized flies lay eggs too small to see; flies produce maggots. Asking a question- Stating a problem Forming a hypothesis
3. Step #3: • Involves variables= • Ex. temperature, time, type/amount of materials, light • Only test ______ variable at a time • ____________________ tests the effect of a single variable by changing it while keeping all the other variables the same. • Manipulated variable- • Responding variable- Setting up a Controlled Experiment Factors that change one Controlled experiments Deliberately changed The variable that changes in response to the manipulated variable
Figure 1-8 Redi’s Experiment on Spontaneous Generation Section 1-2 OBSERVATIONS:Fliesland on meat that is left uncovered. Later, maggots appear on the meat. HYPOTHESIS: Flies produce maggots. PROCEDURE Uncovered jars Covered jars Controlled Variables: jars, type of meat, location, temperature, time Several days pass Manipulated Variables: gauze covering that keeps flies away from meat Responding Variable: whether maggots appear Maggots appear No maggots appear CONCLUSION: Maggots form only when flies come in contact with meat. Spontaneous generation of maggots did not occur.
4. Step #4: • Data-written record of observations • Other scientists can examine the evidence, review the • process; repeat the experiment. • 5. Step #5: • Use the data to evaluate the hypothesis and determine • whether hypothesis is supported or proved wrong • Formulate explanations by using logic and evidence • Ex. Redi concluded flies are necessary to produce the maggots Recording and Analyzing Results Drawing Conclusions • B. Publishing and Repeating Investigation • Publishing an experiment, usually in a scientific • journal, is an essential part of science. It allows • other scientists review the process and repeat • the experiment.

c. Conclusion: All living things come from other living things D. How a Theory Develops 1. Theory= Ex. biogenesis: new life comes from existing life 2. A theory Ex. Theory of plate tectonics and evolution explains why marsupials are only found in Australia and nearby islands. 3. No theory is considered absolute truth. As new evidence is uncovered the theory may be revised or replaced. Ex. Ptolemaic model-Sun, Moon, Earth Evidence from numerous investigations build up; a particular hypothesis becomes so well supported, it is called a theory applies to a well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations
Warm-up • Pg. 15 ?’s 1&2 • 1. Why is Redi’s experiment on spontaneous generation considered a controlled experiment? Redi controlled all variables but one-whether or not there was gauze over each jar • 2. How does a scientific theory compare with a scientific hypothesis? Hypothesis= scientific explanation for a set of observations Theory= a well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations

Review of Section 1-3: Characteristics of Living Things Section 1-3 Characteristics of Living Things Characteristic Examples Living things are made up of units called cells. Many microorganisms consist of only a single cell. Animals and trees are multicellular. Living things reproduce. Maple trees reproduce sexually. A hydra can reproduce asexually by budding. Living things are based on a universal genetic code. Flies produce flies. Dogs produce dogs. Seeds from maple trees produce maple trees. Living things grow and develop. Flies begin life as eggs, then become maggots, and then become adult flies. Living things obtain and use materials and energy. Plants obtain their energy from sunlight. Animals obtain their energy from the food they eat. Leaves and stems of plants grow toward light. Living things respond to their environment. Despite changes in the temperature of the environment, a robin maintains a constant body temperature. Living things maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis). Taken as a group, living things change over time. Plants that live in the desert survive because they have become adapted to the conditions of the desert.
