Scientific Inquiry

Science – from the Latin verb scire = “TO KNOW” Science is not a list of facts, it is a constant process

All science is based on two assumptions… 1. The natural world behaves in a consistent and predictable manner 2. Through careful, systematic study, we can understand and explain the natural world’s behavior

The Process of Scientific Inquiry

Hypothesis – a possible explanation based on gathered data. Must be tested, analyzed, and retested If repeated testing fails, hypothesis should be discarded Example: The Nebular Hypothesis

ScientificTheory Very well tested Best explanation for certain observed facts Widely accepted by scientific community ScientificTheory Example: The Theory of Plate Tectonics

Scientific Law Universal and invariable facts of the physical world Can still be disproved if evidence is found! Scientific Law Example: The Law of Gravity

The Scientific Method

The 6 Steps: State the PROBLEM Conduct RESEARCH Formulate a HYPOTHESIS Perform the EXPERIMENT ANALYZE the results Draw a CONCLUSION

Not a linear process  it’s cyclical!

Accuracy & Precision are both vital

ACCURACY: capable of providing a correct reading or measurement. In science it means 'correct'. A measurement is accurate if it correctly reflects the size of the thing being measured. PRECISION: exact, as in performance, execution, or amount. In science it means repeatable, reliable, getting the same measurement each time."
