What is Scientific Inquiry? Scientific Inquiry refers to the different ways scientist study the natural world. The Nature of Inquiry There is no set path that a scientific inquiry must follow. Different scientists may choose different paths when studying the same event.

The scientific method is a more linear, organized way to inquire about science. It always starts with an observation. Copy the flow chart to the left, but add a bubble to the top that says “Make Observations.” The Scientific Method

To review… The process of inquiry includes: 1. Posing questions 2. Developing hypotheses 3. Designing experiments 4. Collecting and interpreting data 5. Drawing conclusions 6. Communicating ideas and results

Developing Hypotheses A hypothesis is a possible explanation for observations -Understand that your hypothesis is only ONE possible explanation and may not be correct! Example: You hypothesize that the light bulb has burnt out but there may be a problem with the wiring.

Designing an Experiment A Parameter is a factor that can be measured in an experiment. The type of parameter we will focus on this year is called a variable. manipulated variable (independent variable) What is the independent variable in this experiment? (Hint: What are we changing?) responding variable (dependent variable) -What is the dependent variable in this experiment? (Hint: What is changing because of our independent variable?)

Collecting and Interpreting Data Collect data through observation or measurement or both Remember… Qualitative: characteristics (ex: red hair) Quantitative: numbers (ex: plant height= 32cm) Example: Check other known-working light bulbs in the lamp to see if the light will turn on.

How Science Develops Models A model is a picture, diagram, computer image or other representation of an object or process. Theories A theory is a well-tested explanation that brings together a lot of observations A theory may be changed or replaced as new evidence is discovered Laws A law describes an observed pattern without attempting to explain it. Laws have been verified over and over again.
