Thinking Like a Scientist

This section explores essential skills that scientists employ to investigate and understand the natural world. Observations, utilizing all five senses, form the foundation of scientific inquiry, which can be quantitative (numerical) or qualitative (descriptive). Scientists infer meanings from observations, predict outcomes based on knowledge, and classify items by characteristics. They also create models to represent complex processes, focusing on scale models that depict proportions. Lastly, effective communication of ideas and findings is crucial for collaboration in science.

  1. Thinking Like a Scientist LIFE SCIENCE sect 1.1 Mrs. Senese

  2. Scientists Observe: • Use all 5 senses to describe the problem (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste). • Observations can be Quantitative (number) or Qualitative (descriptive)

  3. Inferring Inferring is to explain or interpret an observation by using the senses.

  4. Predicting • Predicting is using observations and knowledge to guess the outcome.

  5. Classifying: Classifying items together based on size shape color and other characteristics.

  6. Make Models • Creating representations of complex processes or objects.

  7. scale models • A SCALE MODEL SHOWS THE PORPORTION BETWEEN ITS PARTS. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/scale/

  8. Communicating • Communicating is sharing ideas and information with other people.
