“The Scientific Method” State The Problem Gather Information Modify and Retest Repeat to form a theory Form Hypothesis Test Hypothesis Conclusion Does NOT Support Hypothesis Conclusion DOES Support Hypothesis Analyze Data

“The Scientific Method” Scientific Theories Explanation of complex events based on scientific observation. Could change over time as more tests are performed. Examples Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Quantum Theory

“The Scientific Method” Scientific Laws Statement of scientific fact that always seems to be true. These are often used in the formation of more complex theories. Examples Law of Gravity Law of Conservation of Mass Newton’s Laws of Motion

Science In The “Real” World Theories are constantly being tested by groups of scientists to improve their validity. This means at any given time there may be a minority of scientists may challenge parts of theory they think may be false… Welcome To InQuest!!!
