Scientific Investigation. When would we use scientific investigation?

 Observation: any information collected with the senses.

The nature of science. Scientific knowledge is the product of observation and inference. Observations and Inferences.

A test of your observation skills…

Note the Differences In laboratory exercises, record observations NOT inferences Inferences may be used when writing the conclusion in your lab report. Let’s test your observation skills…

Take a good look at this picture

Question 1 Are there cars parked on the sides of the road?

Question 2 What color is the pickup truck driving in the road?

Question 3 Any minivans around?

Question 4 What color was the sign on the telephone pole?

Question 5 What's the speed limit?

Question 6 Are there any pedestrians on the road?

Answers Parked Cars Pick-up Color Minivans Sign Speed Limit Sign - Yes Pick-up Color - Blue Minivans Sign –Blue Speed Limit Sign - 35 mph Pedestrians - No

Questions Asked How many cars were in the intersection? 2 Across the street, are there any parked cars on the side? Yes Can you describe at least one of the cars driving through the intersection? Are there any other potential witnesses? If they answer yes, ask the following question: What was this witness doing? Where was he? Yes, mowing the lawn across the street What was the speed limit? 35 Was there anyone parked in the first parking spot? No

Observation vs Inference On the next slide, state whether the statement is an observation or an inference.

Compare this picture to the next one…

What’s the difference?

What do you see?

What animal do you perceive? A Duck, Bunny, or BOTH?

This image contains a picture and a word. Do you see both of them?

What images do you see?

Read across..

Do you see the face on Earth? How about now?

They are the SAME length! Take a very close look at the 2 vertical lines. Is one line is longer than the other? They are the SAME length!

Can you pick the tallest soldier? They are all the same height!

Does the square have curved sides?

Where are those dots coming from?! Your brain!

These circles are not moving, your brain is making them appear to move These circles are not moving, your brain is making them appear to move. Try focusing on one circle. It will stop moving.

Are these dots moving?
