Understanding Scientific Theories and Laws Through Examples and Evidence

Differentiate between scientific theories and laws with examples, evidence, and T-chart activities. Explore concepts like Plate Tectonics, Cell Theory, Evolution, and more. Learn the distinction between why things occur (theories) and what happens (laws).

Presentation Transcript

  1. Bellringer • (Insert Bellringer here) • See notes on slide 7&9

  2. Benchmarks SC.7.N.3.1-Recognize and explain the difference between theories and laws and give several examples of scientific theories and the evidence that supports them. (Also assesses SC.6.N.3.1 and SC.8.N.3.2.) • Objective(s): • Distinguish between scientific theories and laws. • Identify examples of scientific theories • Identify example of scientific laws. • Vocabulary: • Theory • Law

  3. Agenda • 1. Bellringer • 2. Objective(s) • 3. Journal Entries • 4. Video Theory Vs. Law • 5. Theory Vs. Law T-chart • 6. Different Theories / Laws matching

  4. Journal Entries

  5. Video - BBC • http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jptdd

  6. LAWS: A scientific principle that stateswhat occurs during a natural event developed from extensive observations and experimentation. Theories vs. LawsCreate a T chart. RIGHT SIDE Theories:An explanation for why natural events occur developed from extensive observations, experimentation, and reasoning.

  7. BILLY PASSED A TEST. SORT THESE as a Law or Theory!RIGHT SIDE • I passed because I studied for two hours and got a good night's sleep. • I got a 94% score, and missed the questions about gravity.

  8. Why! BILLY PASSED A TEST • THEORY: I passed because I studied for two hours and got a good night's sleep. -WHY • LAW: I got a 94% score, and missed the questions about gravity. - WHAT

  9. Guess that Law or Theory Law & Theory Bank: Theories! Laws!

  10. LAWS: What we observe. Law of superposition. Conservation of matter Natural selection Theories vs. LawsCreate a T chart. RIGHT SIDE Theories:WHY things are this way. • Plate tectonics • Cell theory • Evolution
