Chapter 1 Objectives Identify the steps used in scientific methods. Formulate testable hypotheses. Explain how scientific methods are used to answer questions and solve problems. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 What Are Scientific Methods? The ways in which scientists answer questions and solve problems are called ___________________. As scientists look for answers, they often use the same steps. But there is more than one way to use the steps. Scientists may repeat some steps or do them in a different order. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Ask a Question Asking a question helps focus the purpose of an investigation. Scientists often ask a question after making observations. An _______________________ is any use of the senses to gather information. Observations should be accurately recorded so that scientists can use the information in future investigations. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Ask a Question, continued A Real-World Question Engineers are scientists who put scientific knowledge to practical human use. Engineers create technology. Technology is the application of science for practical purposes. For example, engineers Czarnowski and Triantafyllou studied the efficiency of boat propulsion systems. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Ask a Question, continued The Importance of Boat Efficiency Efficiency compares the energy used to move the boat forward with the energy supplied by the engine. Making boats more efficient would save fuel and money. Based on their observations, Czarnowski and Triantafyllou asked the question: How can boat propulsion systems be made more efficient? Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Form a Hypothesis Once you have asked a question and made observations, you are ready to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis an explanation that is based on ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Form a Hypothesis, continued Nature Provides a Possible Answer Czarnowski studied penguins swimming and formed the hypothesis: A propulsion system that mimics the way a penguin swims will be more efficient than a propulsion system that uses propellers. Make Predictions Before scientists test a hypothesis, they often make predictions that state what they think will happen during the actual test of the hypothesis. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Hypothesis Click below to watch the Visual Concept. Visual Concept Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Test the Hypothesis After you form a hypothesis, you must test it. Testing helps you find out if your hypothesis is correct or not. Keep It Under Control One way to test a hypothesis is to do a controlled experiment. A controlled experiment tests __________________________________________. By changing only the variable, scientists can see the results of just that one change. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Test the Hypothesis, continued Testing Proteus Czarnowski and Triantafyllou built a model penguin boat called Proteus to test their hypothesis. The engineers took Proteus into open water to collect data. Data are ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ _______________________________________. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Analyze the Results Once you have your data, you must analyze them to find out whether the results support your hypothesis. The graphs below show the analysis of the tests done on Proteus. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Draw Conclusions At the end of an investigation, you must draw a conclusion. Your conclusion can help you decide what you do next. The Proteus Conclusion Czarnowski and Triantafyllou found that the penguin propulsion system was more efficient than a propeller system. So, they concluded that their hypothesis was supported. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Communicate Results One of the most important steps in an investigation is to communicate your results accurately and honestly. Communicating About Proteus Czarnowski and Triantafyllou published their results in academic papers. They also displayed their project and its results on the Internet. Section 2 Scientific Methods

Chapter 1 Section 3 Scientific Models Bellringer To teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), instructors often use a mannequin to model a human upper torso and head. Why do you think CPR is taught with a model instead of a real human? Would the class be as effective if a model were not used? Explain your answer.

Chapter 1 Objectives Describe how models are used to represent the natural world. Identify three types of scientific models. Describe theories and laws. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Types of Scientific Models A representation of an object or a system is called a ______ or _________. Physical Models ( ) For example, the model flower shown at right can be used to learn the parts of a real flower. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Types of Scientific Models, continued Mathematical Models (.) The weather map shown below is a mathematical model. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Types of Scientific Models, continued Conceptual Models [ ] The big bang theory explains the origin of the universe. This theory is an example of a conceptual model. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Models Are Just the Right Size Models are often used to represent things that are very small or very large. Models are useful for studying cells and particles of matter that are too small to see with the unaided eye. Models are also useful for studying objects that are too large to see completely, such as the Earth or the solar system. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Models Build Scientific Knowledge Models are often used to help illustrate and explain scientific theories. In science, a [ ] is a unifying explanation for a broad range of hypotheses and observations that have been supported by testing. [ ] can change as new observations are made. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Models Build Scientific Knowledge, continued Scientific Laws When a theory and its models correctly predict the results of many different experiments, a could be formed. In science, a is a summary of many experimental results and observations. Laws are not the same as theories. Laws tell you only happens, not it happens. Section 3 Scientific Models

Chapter 1 Section 4 Science and Engineering Bellringer Imagine the following: You have been asked to investigate what is the most nutritional lunch for middle school students. Briefly describe the process you would follow to determine the most nutritional lunch. After you have completed your plan, make a list of biases or personal preferences that could cause errors in the investigation. How would you avoid these Write your answers in your science journal.
