  1. Introduction to Science!!!!!

  2. What is Science? • Consistent- The same event happens every time these events occur… • Observable- can we see the event happening • Natural- is the event natural (not supernatural) • Predictable- using past similar experiences, we can guess what might happen • Testability- can we test the event in a controlled experiment • Tentative – Means scientific theories will change and be revised.

  3. How do we “DO” science? • Science is based off of constant QUESTIONING

  4. Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide! -The Invisible Killer • Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

  5. Dihydrogen monoxide: • is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain. • contributes to the "greenhouse effect." • may cause severe burns. • contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. • accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals. • may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. • has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

  6. Which statement is scientific?Use CONPTT to tell which one is scientific • Walking under a ladder causes bad luck every time. OR Green plants will grow towards a light if its is placed near the plant..

  7. 2. Green plants convert sunlight to energy OR The man pulled a rabbit from his hat using magic.

  8. 3. Some plants are carnivorous. Or Aliens have visited earth.

  9. 4. Traveling in the Bermuda Triangle will cause ships and planes to sink and disappear. OR Gum loses some of its mass when you chew it. 5. Without sunlight, green plants will die. OR Your horoscope says you will get a lot of money today!

  10. 6. The number of human chromosomes was once thought to be 48, but now it is 46. OR We know that the earth was formed around 6000 years ago.

  11. Scientific Method Question Observation Hypothesis- an educated guess Investigate Record data (pieces of information) Conclusion Queen Of Hearts In Reading Class

  12. Designing your experiment B. Parts of the investigation 1. Each investigation must be systematic 2. To find an answer to your question, you will test only one variable at a time. There are 3 types of variables. a) Independent Variable- the single thing you change b) Dependent Variable- the thing that may or may not be affected by the independent variable. c) Controlled Variables-factors that you try to keep the same. Also called constants.

  13. 3. Each study must include a Control group; a) compare results from the experiment to control group 4. You will change one independent variable and measure the dependent variable. 5. Compare your results to the control group, and make a Conclusion- what you decide the answer to your question is.

  14. C. Human Abilities in Science 1. Reasoning- Observing what you see, hear, or touch, and saying why and how an event happens. 2. Creativity- thinking beyond what is available and trying/making something new. 3. Skepticism- not believing an explanation until a test supports the explanation. 4. Openness- willing to accept a new explanation; believing a theory is incorrect and must change.

  15. Make a quick summary of your scientist’s life. What were some of their great achievements? • Which quality (or qualities) did your scientist demonstrate most strongly? (Reasoning, openness, skepticism, creativity) • How were these qualities helpful to them? • Which of these qualities do YOU have? Give examples.

  16. D. Safety Rules 1. Read all LAB rules, and clean up! 2. Wear safety equipment like Goggles, lab aprons, and gloves; tie back long hair, and no loose Jewelry. 3. Inspect electrical equipment, keep away from Water

  17. 4. Point the mouth of containers Away from people. Never heat substances in Closed containers. 5. Never Smell, Taste, or Touch any unknown chemicals. Dispose of chemicals as Mr. Ross says. 6. Report all accidents IMMEDIATELY to Mr. Ross

  18. E. Displaying Data 1. Line Graphs 2. Bar Graphs 3. Pie Charts/ Circle Graphs 4. Data Tables
