Physical Science Studies NS 3310 Dr. Hoge

Chapter 1 – Why Study Science? We live in a technological society brought about by scientific inquiry

Key Questions Why is science important today? What is science? What is the history or science? How is science done? How does science operate in society? What is scientific, and what is not?

Why is science important today? Science leads to discovery, but also provides a healthy skepticism

Future Shock The World Is Flat Shift Happens The U.S. Needs New Workforce Particularly from Underserved Communities And, It’s All Up to You

What is science? M&M Statistics: we are going to determine if the Mars company is telling the truth when they claim that there are fixed percentages of each color in each bag of M&Ms. I’m skeptical

Philosophy of Science Aristotle, Plato Shen Kuo, Ibn al-Haytham, Francis Bacon Descartes, Locke Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend

Natural Philosophy Exploration (A Gentleman’s Pastime) Logic Cause and Effect Levels of Explanation

Scientific Method Hypothetico-Deductive Model Falsifiability Inquiry Inductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Controlled Experimentation

What is the history of science?

Emergence of Modern Science Copernicus, Galileo, Keppler Newton, Leibniz, Boyle Darwin, Lyell, Faraday, Maxwell Einstein, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Planck

How is science done?

Scientific Theory Observations (facts) Laws Data Predictions

Unifying Theories Big Bang / Standard Model / Supersymmetry / String Theory Thermodynamics Special Relativity Quantum Mechanics Plate Tectonics Evolution

How does science operate in society?

Tools of Science Experimentation Mathematical Modeling Technology Laboratory Field Mathematical Modeling Technology Social Context

Science is a Social Process Communication of Results Argument Social Context Public Need Public Discourse Science in the News

Branches of Science Physical Sciences Earth Sciences Life Sciences Physics Chemistry Astronomy Cosmology Earth Sciences Geology Oceanography Meteorology Astronomy Life Sciences Biology Behavioral Sciences Social Sciences

Areas of Science Pure Science Applied Science

What is science and what is not?

What Science Isn’t – Part I Engineering Mathematics Technology Philosophy

What Science Isn’t – Part II Pseudoscience Mystical Thinking Consilience?

Key Concepts Science is a philosophy of inquiry Science starts with careful observation Science is a human endeavor There are many ways to do science Science relies on falsifiability Unifying Theories provide predictability A concept which can not be falsified is not science
