Nature of Life La Cañada High School Biology – Dr. E

What Is Science? Science is a pursuit of knowledge about how the world works Scientific data is collected by making observations and taking measurements Observations involve the five senses, and help answer questions or problems

Observation Qualitative Qualitative of, relating to, or involving quality or kind Quantitative Quantitative of, relating to, or involving the measurement of quantity or amount

Qualitative Red Far from the earth Microscopic Burns quickly HotQuantitative 700 nm wavelength 300 million light years Smaller than 1 um Burns candle at 1 cm per minute 350 degrees C

Inference 1. To conclude from evidence or premises 2. To reason from circumstance; surmise: We can infer that his motive in publishing the diary was less than honorable 3. To lead to as a consequence or conclusion: “Socrates argued that a statue inferred the existence of a sculptor”

Vocabulary Experiment A procedure to study a phenomenon under known conditions Must have a Control Hypotheses A possible explanation of something observed in nature. Model An approximate representation of a system being studied.

Theory and Law Scientific Theory A hypothesis that has been supported by multiple scientists’ experiments in multiple locations A Scientific Law a description of what we find happening in nature over and over again in a certain way

Scientific Laws Law of Conservation of Matter Matter can be changed from one form to another, but never created or destroyed. Atomic Theory of Matter All matter is made of atoms which cannot be destroyed, created, or subdivided.

Accuracy and Precision Accuracy The extent to which a measurement agrees with the accepted or correct value for that quantity. Precision A measure of reproducibility, or how closely a series of measurements of the same quantity agrees with one another.

Reasoning Inductive Reasoning Uses observations and facts to arrive at hypotheses All mammals breathe oxygen. Deductive Reasoning Uses logic to arrive at a specific conclusion based on a generalization All birds have feathers, Eagles are birds, therefore All eagles have feathers.

Scientific Methods What is the question to be answered? What relevant facts and data are known? What new data should be collected? After collection, can it be used to make a law? What hypothesis can be invented to explain this? How can it become a theory?

Experiments Variables what affect processes in the experiment. Controlled Experiments have only one variable

Experiments Experimental group gets the variable Control Group does not have the variable Placebo is a harmless pill that resembles the pill being tested. In double blind experiments, neither the patient nor the doctors know who is the control or experiment group.

Frontier and Consensus Science Frontier Science Scientific “breakthroughs” and controversial data that has not been widely tested or accepted String Theory Consensus or Applied Science Consists of data, theories, and laws that are widely accepted by scientists considered experts in the field involved Human Genome Project
