3 1.1 The Methods of Science What is Science? Science is a method for studying the natural world. Uses observation and investigation to gain knowledge
4 1.1 The Methods of Science Major Categories of Science Science can be classified according to three main categories. Life science living things. Earth science- Earth and space. Physical science matter and energy. Sometimes, a scientific study will overlap the categories.
5 1.1 The Methods of Science Science Explains Nature Scientific explanations help you understand the natural world. Science knowledge is constantly changing and being modified because of: New information Better technologies
6 1.1 Investigations Scientists learn new information by performing investigations: Observation Experimentation Testing Models The Methods of Science
7
8 1.1 The Methods of Science Scientific Methods Organized set of investigation procedures = scientific method Six common steps are shown. Usually begins with an observation to determine the problem.
9 1.1 The Methods of Science Researching and Gathering Information Before testing, it is useful to learn as much as possible about the problem. Have others found information that will help determine what tests to do and what tests will not be helpful?
10 1.1 The Methods of Science Forming a Hypothesis Hypothesis: possible explanation using what you know and observe.
11 1.1 The Methods of Science Testing a Hypothesis Some are tested by making observations. Others tested by building a model and relating it to real-life situations. A common way to test a hypothesis is to perform an experiment.
12 1.1 The Methods of Science Testing a Hypothesis An experiment tests the effect of one thing on another using controlled conditions.
13 1.1 Variables The Methods of Science A variable is a factor that can have more than one value. Example Experiment: Determine which of three fertilizers helps plants to grow the biggest. Possible factors: plant or soil type, amount of sunlight and water, room temperature, and type of fertilizer.
14 1.1 Variables The Methods of Science The variable you change to test is called the independent variable. What is it in this experiment? Plant A B C D Amount of Water Amount of Sun Fertilizer Type Height after two weeks 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day A 16cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day B 14cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day C 18cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day none 10cm
15 1.1 Variables The Methods of Science The dependent variable changes according to the changes in the other variables. What is the dependent variable? Plant A B C D Amount of Water Amount of Sun Fertilizer Type Height after two weeks 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day A 16cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day B 14cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day C 18cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day none 10cm
16 1.1 The Methods of Science Constants and Controls A factor that does not change when other variables change is called a constant. What are the constants in this experiment? Plant A B C D Amount of Water Amount of Sun Fertilizer Type Height after two weeks 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day A 16cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day B 14cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day C 18cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day none 10cm
17 1.1 The Methods of Science Constants and Controls The fourth plant is not fertilized. This plant is a control. A control is the standard by which the test results can be compared. Plant Amount of Water Amount of Sun Fertilizer Type Height after two weeks A B C D 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day A 16cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day B 14cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day C 18cm 4 oz. every three days 6hr/day none 10cm
18 1.1 The Methods of Science Analyzing the Data Observations and data must be organized into easy-toread tables and graphs to allow for analysis. If the data are not organized, wrong conclusions can be drawn.
19 1.1 The Methods of Science Drawing Conclusions Based on the analysis of the data, it is decided whether or not the hypothesis is supported. An experiment must be repeatable. Findings are supported when other scientists perform the same experiment and get the same results.
20 1.1 The Methods of Science Being Objective A bias occurs when what the scientist expects changes how the results are viewed. Scientists can lessen bias by running as many trials as possible and by keeping accurate notes of each observation made.
21 1.1 The Methods of Science Visualizing with Models Sometimes, scientists cannot see everything that they are testing Too large, too small, takes too long
22 1.1 The Methods of Science Visualizing with Models A model represents an idea, event, or object to help people better understand it.
23 1.1 The Methods of Science High-Tech Models Today, many scientists use computers to build models. NASA experiments involving space flight would not be practical without computers.
24 1.1 The Methods of Science High-Tech Models Another type of model is a simulator.
25 1.1 The Methods of Science Scientific Theories and Laws A scientific theory is an explanation of things or events supported by many observations and investigations. It is not a guess. Just because a scientific theory has data supporting it does not mean it will never change. (new technology, etc)
26 1.1 The Methods of Science Scientific Theories and Laws Scientific law: statement about what happens in nature and that seems to be true all the time. Laws tell you what will happen under certain conditions, but they don t explain why or how something happens. Gravity is an example of a scientific law.
27 1.1 The Methods of Science Scientific Theories and Laws A theory can be used to explain a law. For example, many theories have been proposed to explain how the law of gravity works. Even so, there are few theories in science and even fewer laws.
28 1.1 The Methods of Science Using Science Technology Technology is the application of science to help people. What are some examples?
29 1.1 Section Check Question 1 What are the three main categories of science? Answer The three main categories of science are life, earth, and physical.
30 1.1 Section Check Question 2 What is a common way of testing a hypothesis? Answer A common way to test a hypothesis is to perform an experiment.
31 1.1 Section Check Question 3 Which of the following is the group in an experiment in which all conditions are kept the same? A. standard B. independent variable C. experimental D. control
32 1.1 Section Check Answer The answer is D. Conditions are kept the same in the control group.
33 1.2 Standards of Measurement Units and Standards A standard is an exact quantity that people agree to use to compare measurements. Examples: Meter Second Would a hand be a good standard of measurement? Why or why not?
34 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measurement Systems Suppose the label on a ball of string indicates that the length of the string is 150. Is the length 150 feet, 150 m, or 150 cm? For a measurement to make sense, it must include a number and a unit.
35 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measurement Systems The English system of measurement is commonly used in the United States. Most other nations use the metric system a system of measurement based on multiples of ten.
36 1.2 Standards of Measurement International System of Units All SI standards are universally accepted and understood by scientists throughout the world. Ex: All kilograms used throughout the world must be exactly the same as the standard kilogram kept in France.
37 1.2 Standards of Measurement International System of Units Each type of SI measurement has a base unit and symbol. All other SI units are obtained from these seven units.
38 1.2 Standards of Measurement SI Prefixes The SI system is easy to use because it is based on multiples of ten.
39 1.2 Standards of Measurement SI Prefixes Prefixes are used with the names of the units to indicate what multiple of ten should be used with the units. The most frequently used prefixes are shown.
40 1.2 Standards of Measurement Converting Between SI Units A conversion factor is a ratio that is equal to one and is used to change one unit to another. For example, there are 1,000 ml in 1 L, so 1,000 ml = 1 L.
41 1.2 Standards of Measurement Converting Between SI Units For example, to convert L to ml, multiply L by a conversion factor.
42 1.2 Standards of Measurement Converting Between SI Units To convert units, multiply by a conversion factor. Use the conversion factor with new units (ml) in the numerator and the old units (L) in the denominator.
43 1.2 Choosing a Unit of Length The size of the unit you measure with will depend on the size of the object being measured. Standards of Measurement You probably would use the centimeter to measure the length of your pencil and the meter to measure the length of your classroom.
44 1.2 Standards of Measurement Choosing a Unit of Length By choosing an appropriate unit, you avoid large-digit numbers and numbers with many decimal places. Use 21 km vs. 21,000 m Use 13 mm vs m
45 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measuring Volume The amount of space occupied by an object is called its volume. The volume of a solid rectangle is found by: V = 1 x w x h If the measurements are in centimeters, the units for volume would then be cubic centimeters, cm 3.
46 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measuring Liquid Volume Most common units for liquid volumes are liters (L) and milliliters (ml). 1 ml = 1 cm 3 1 L = 1 dm 3 (cubic decimeter)
47 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measuring Liquid Volume Suppose you wanted to convert a from liters to cubic centimeters. You use conversion factors to convert L to ml and then ml to cm 3.
48 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measuring Matter Mass is a measurement of the quantity of matter in an object. A bowling ball has a mass of about 5,000 g.
49 1.2 Density Standards of Measurement
50 1.2 Standards of Measurement Derived Units The measurement unit for density, g/cm 3 is a combination of SI units. A unit obtained by combining different SI units is called a derived unit. An SI unit multiplied by itself also is a derived unit. (cm 3 )
51 1.2 Standards of Measurement Measuring Time and Temperature The SI unit for time is the second. For most scientific work, temperature is measured in Celsius (C). Water Freezing= 0 C Water Boiling = 100 C
52 1.2 Standards of Measurement Kelvin and Fahrenheit The SI unit of temperature is the kelvin (K). Zero on the Kelvin scale (0 K) is known as absolute zero. (Impossible to reach) Absolute zero is equal to -273 C which is 273 below the freezing point of water.
53 1.2 Standards of Measurement Kelvin and Fahrenheit Kelvin = C So, on the Kelvin scale, water freezes at 273 K and boils at 373 K. You are probably most familiar with the Fahrenheit scale, which was based roughly on the temperature of the human body, 98.6.
54 1.2 Section Check Question 1 A is an exact quantity that people agree to use to compare measurements. A. variable B. standard C. unit D. control
55 1.2 Section Check Answer The answer is B. SI standards are universally accepted and understood by scientists throughout the world.
56 1.2 Section Check Question 2 A nanogram is equal to milligrams. A. 1 x 10-9 B. 1 x 10 9 C. 1 x 10-6 D. 1 x 10 6
57 1.2 Section Check Answer The answer is C. A nanogram is 1 x 10-9 g, and a milligram is 1 x 10-3 g.
58 1.2 Section Check Question 3 The amount of space occupied by an object is called? Answer The answer is volume. To find the volume of a solid rectangle, measure the rectangle s length by its width by its height.
59 1.3 A Visual Display A graph is a visual display of information or data. This is a graph that shows a girl walking her dog. Communicating with Graphs
60 1.3 Communicating with Graphs A Visual Display The horizontal or the x-axis, measures time. Time is the independent variable because as it changes, it affects the measure of another variable.
61 1.3 Communicating with Graphs A Visual Display The distance that they walk is the dependent variable, measured on the vertical or y-axis.
62 1.3 Communicating with Graphs A Visual Display Different kinds of graphs line, bar, and circle are appropriate for displaying different types of information. Graphs make it easier to understand complex patterns by displaying data in a visual manner.
63 Communicating with Graphs 1.3 Line Graphs A line graph can show any relationship where the dependent variable changes due to a change in the independent variable.
64 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Constructing Line Graphs The most important factor in making a line graph is always using the x-axis for the independent variable. The y-axis always is used for the dependent variable.
65 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Constructing Line Graphs Another factor in constructing a graph involves units of measurement. All measurements for each variable must be graphed in the same units.
66 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Constructing Line Graphs Scientists use a variety of tools, such as computers and graphing calculators to help them draw graphs.
67 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Bar Graphs A bar graph is useful for comparing information collected by counting. Example: the number of students in every classroom
68 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Bar Graphs You could show these data in a bar graph like the one shown.
69 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Bar Graphs As on a line graph, the independent variable is on the x-axis and the dependent variable is on the y-axis.
70 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Circle Graphs A circle graph, or pie graph, is used to show how some fixed quantity is broken down into parts. The circular pie represents the total. The slices represent the parts and usually are represented as percentages of the total.
71 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Circle Graphs Example: Percentage of buildings in a neighborhood using each of a variety of heating fuels.
72 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Circle Graphs This graph starts with 72 buildings in the neighborhood.
73 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Circle Graphs For each type of heating fuel, you divide the number of buildings using each type of fuel by the total (72).
74 1.3 Communicating with Graphs Circle Graphs You then multiply that decimal by 360 to determine the angle that the decimal makes in the circle. Eighteen buildings use steam. Therefore, x 360 = 90 on the circle graph. You then would measure 90 on the circle with your protractor to show 25 percent.
75 1.3 Section Check Question 1 A graph is a(n) of information or data. A. list B. analysis C. visual display D. conclusion
76 1.3 Section Check Answer The answer is C. Graphs make complex patterns easier to understand by displaying data in a visual manner.
77 1.3 Section Check Question 2 Which of the following types of graphs would be the best choice for representing a child s growth over time? A. line B. bar C. circle D. contour
78 1.3 Section Check Answer The answer is A. Line graphs often show how a relationship between variables changes over time.
79 1.3 Section Check Question 3 You need to draw a circle graph to represent the following data. Determine the angle on the circle that accurately represents the number of Spanish-speaking households. Language Spoken Number of Households English 127 Spanish 179 French 21
80 1.3 Section Check Answer There are 327 households, 179 of which are Spanish-speaking. 179 is 55% of the total, so the angle will be 55% of 360º, or 198º. Language Spoken Number of Households English 127 Spanish 179 French 21
