What is Science? Science is a method for studying the natural world It is a process that uses observation and investigation to gain knowledge and develop explanations about events in the natural world Scientists ask questions to learn about the natural world Science can be classified according to three main categories: Earth Science investigates the Earth and outer space Biology deals with living things Physical Science deals with matter and energy IPS1.1

Scientific Theories & Laws A scientific theory is an explanation of things or events based on knowledge gained from many observations and investigations Just because a scientific theory has data supporting it does not mean it will never change A scientific law is a statement about what happens in nature and that seems to be true all the time Laws tell you what will happen under certain conditions, but they don’t explain why or how something happens A theory can be used to explain a law, but theories do not become laws (It is not a guess) IPS1.1

Being Objective Bias occurs when what the scientist expects changes how the results are viewed This expectation might cause a scientist to select a result from one trial over those from other trials Scientists can lessen bias by running many trials and by keeping accurate observations Valid experiments must have data that is measurable IPS1.1

Limitations of Science Science can help you explain many things about the world, but science cannot explain or solve everything Most questions about emotions and values are not scientific questions because they cannot be tested You might take a survey to get people’s opinions about such questions, but that would not prove that the opinions are true for everyone IPS1.1
