Come in a variety of forms Physical models Diagrams Computer models The Scientific Method A way of thinking about and solving problems It is a logical method You do it all the time The Scientific Method Starts with observation- can be anything Question – what do you want to know? Gather data- what is already known Form hypothesis- a possible explanation Design experiment to test hypothesis This is the hard part The Scientific Method Experiments generate more observations Allow us to draw conclusions about hypothesis Support the hypothesis or not If not modify hypothesis The Scientific Method Observe Collect data Form hypothesis Experiment tests hypothesis Observation Observation Observation Formulate a question Draw Conclusions The Scientific Method Does not always work this way, but gives a way of guiding our thinking Hard part is testing only one variable at a time. Changing only one thing at a time If you change more than one, you don’t know which one is the cause Measurement A number without a unit is meaningless It is 4 long 4 what? Scientists use the metric system or SI for le System Internationale d’Units Makes sharing data easier Metric System Measurements have two parts Base unit and prefix Prefixes multiply or divide the base units by multiples 10 Prefixes are the same for all units Base Units Quantity Unit Abbreviation Length meter m Mass gram g Temperature kelvin K Electric current ampere A Amount of substance mole mol Luminous intensity candela cd Prefixes Prefix Symbol Meaning As a number kilo- k thousand 1,000 mega- M million 1,000,000 giga- G billion 1,000,000,000 deci- d tenth 0.1 centi- c hundredth 0.01 milli- m thousandth 0.001 micro- m millionth 0.000 001 Tables Organizing data into groups Putting those groups into rows and columns Gives us an easy way to compare data Graphs Give a visual representation of data Summarizes data. Two types of variables Independent variable the thing you have control over Dependent variable the thing that you don’t have control over. Three types of graphs line, bar, and circle Circle Graphs Often called a pie chart divided into parts easy to compare to whole amount. Use several to show changes over time
