Empirical Evidence- proven truth verifiable “THROUGH” Empirical Evidence- proven truth verifiable Hypothesis- an idea that can be tested Observation- using your senses to find out about things Inference- a conclusion based on facts, experiences, observations, or knowledge.

SC.6.N.1.5 & SC.6.N.2.1 Demonstrate the difference between inference and observation. Identify empirical evidence. Evaluate a scenario and develop an explanation based on empirical evidence

THROUGH Examples of observations and inference

SC.6.N.2.2 Define hypothesis Propose a hypothesis. Collect empirical evidence Evaluate empirical evidence as it relates to the developed hypothesis

Identify the Problem/Make an observation Come up with a testable question. Make a prediction/hypothesis Design and Test Collect/record data Evaluate evidence Draw conclusions Communicate Findings Go back and try again, emphasize this can be done at any point in the process

SC.6.N.2.2, SC.6.N.3.1, SC.6.N.3.2 & SC.6.N.3.3 Define scientific use of theory Define scientific use of law Distinguish between scientific theories and laws Distinguish scientific theory and law from everyday theory and law

THROUGH THEORY- An idea that is the best explanation of many observations and helps make new predictions. -LAW- A scientific explanation that describes how some part of the world or universe acts under certain circumstances *also called Scientific Law

Scientific THEORY A theory is an attempt to explain why something happened – it can change as new information is gathered. A theory is based on large amounts of evidence from observations and experiments Big Bang theory, Cell Theory, Plate Tectonics, Climate Change, Evolution

Scientific LAW A law summarizes what has happened. A law describes a pattern or event in nature and is based off large amounts of evidence from observations and is often supported mathematically Law of Gravity, Conservation of Energy, Newtons Laws

Learning Targets: Scientists make contributions to our everyday lives. Scientists have varied backgrounds, talents interest and goals.

How has science improved our quality of life? Round Robin Take turns sharing ideas with your table group. Record on piece of paper.

HOW DO ENGINEERS MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE? Here are some things engineers do to help improve people’s lives. • Design a lighter bike frame • Invent a more powerful superglue • Create satellites that detect drought around the world • Develop state-of-the-art cell phones • Invent artificial retinas for the blind • Develop a feather-light laptop • Design clothing that repels mosquitoes Create more fuel-efficient cars https://pbskids.org/designsquad/pdf/parentseducators/DS_Act_Guide_complete.pdf

Recognize and explain that a scientific law is a description of a specific relationship under given conditions in the natural world

Recognize and explain that a scientific theory is a well-supported and widely accepted explanation of nature and is not simply a claim posed by an individual
