12. 1.1 What is Science
Science is a system of knowledge and the methods you use to find that knowledge.
Science begins with curiosity and often ends with discovery.

13. Science and Technology
Technology is the used of knowledge to solve a particular problems.
Goal of science = expand knowledge
Goal of technology = apply the knowledge
Science and technology are interdependent. Advances in one lead to advances in the other.

Each leader will create a poster for one of the big ideas of Physical Science.
The poster must include the name of the big idea across the top of the poster. The big idea should be written neatly and large enough to read from a distance. (2 points)
Two examples of the big idea should be on the poster. Each example should include a description and a picture. Each example should be a real life example. (6 points per example; 2 points for description, 2 points for visual, 1 point for neatness and 1 point for grammar and spelling)
Poster on 8 x 11 sheet of paper or larger. (2 points)
Your complete heading on the back of the poster. (2 points)
Poster board will be worth a total of 18 points.
Posters are due at the start of next class period.

39. Group Activity
Each group will be given an envelope with a variety of different s.
Every leader in the group will have a role. The four roles are time keeper, recorder, presenter, and leader.
You will pull out six s and make predications based on the information on the paper.
You will have six minutes to read, analyze, write down clues and make your first set of predictions.
Groups will share their first set of predictions to the class.
Repeat step 4.
Groups will share their revised predictions to the class.

40. Introduction – “Started with a Question” Song

41. Started with a question now we here,
Started with a question now my whole class here (4x)
O?HEAC, tell-it one two (4x)
Explanation:
O = observations
?= Ask questions
H= Hypothesis
E = Experiment
A = Analyze data
C = Conclusion
Tell-it (1) write a report and (2) write a research paper

42. 1.2 Using a Scientific Approach
What is the scientific method?
An organized plan for gathering, organizing, and communicating information is called a scientific method.
The goal of any scientific method is to solve a problem or to better understand an observed event.

43. Steps to a scientific method
Making observations (information you obtain through your senses)
Forming a Hypothesis (proposed answer to a question)
Experimenting (Testing a Hypothesis)
-(Independent) Manipulated variable: variable that causes a change in another
-(Dependent) Responding variable: the variable the changes in response to the manipulated variable.
*A controlled experiment is an experiment in which only one a variable, the manipulated variable, is deliberately changed at a time. While the responding variable is observed for changes, all other variable are kept constant, or controlled.

44. Information found in an hypothesis
The (independent) manipulated variable is the part of the experiment that you change.
The (dependent) responding variable is the part of the experiment in which you watch for its reaction to your changes.
Example:
“If I raise the temperature of a cup of water, then the amount of sugar that can be dissolved in it will be increased.”

45. Identifying Variables: Whole Class Activity

46. 4. Analyze data collection 5
4. Analyze data collection 5. Drawing Conclusions -Conclusions are made based on the data collected. -What happens if the data do not support the hypothesis? (1) A scientist can revise the hypothesis or propose a new one based on the data from the experiment. (2) A new experiment must then be designed to test the revised or new hypothesis.

47. 6. Communicating Results (Tell-It!) (1)Write a report (2)Write a paper

48. Classwork – Independent Assignment
Complete worksheet on identifying the independent and dependent variable in the hypotheses.

49. Homework Complete Variables Worksheet

51. Scientific Theory vs. Scientific Law
A scientific theory is a well-tested explanation for a set of observations or experimental results. -Theories are never proved. Instead, they become stronger if facts continue to support them. -However, if a theory fails to explain new facts and discoveries, it can be replaced or revised.

52. Scientific law A statement that summarizes a pattern found in nature.
A scientific law describes an observed pattern in nature without attempting to explain it.
Example:

53. Working safely in Science
Follow all safety precautions.
Read all directions before you start any activity.
Make sure you understand the entire procedure, especially any safety precautions that must be followed.
Single most important rule for your safety is simple: Always follow your teacher’s instructions exactly. Ask questions if there is anything you do not understand.
