Science
Pseudoscience
Evidence that is used to support or evaluate a claim. Ex: Observations or measurements
Scientific knowledge may change as new evidence is discovered or new scientific interpretations are formed.
Scientific explanations are based on empirical evidence, logical reasoning, predictions, and modeling.  
Scientific knowledge will change as a result of new evidence.
Longstanding explanation of data, normally not mathematical, can be changed if new evidence arises.
Longstanding explanation of data, normally mathematical, does not change
The process used to organize an experiment to ensure it is able to be replicated
The benefits of a scientific model is that you can observe and go in depth with data. The limitations of a scientific model is that it’s not always right and must be remodeled after the data has been proven wrong.
The knowledge obtained by observing natural events in order to formulate testable/verifiable laws and principles.
Fake science. Things that project themselves as fact rather than opinion and are not supported by evidence
Why is it important to distinguish between science and pseudoscience?
What evidence do you have to support your claims?

12. Inside Foldable – you must include 3 examples along with mine.
Example Experiments at least 3
The total amount of birds that visited each bird feeder after 1 week
Used to show individual sets of Data
Must be a double bar to show repetition
Used as a snapshot for one moment in the experiment
Used in most experiments
The amount of birds that visited each bird feeder hour by hour
Used to show a change in data over time
One object must be changing
Shows individual trials or averages
Used in timed experiments
The percentage of birds that visited each feeder
Used to show percentages
Must equal 100% (Should never look like pacman)
Only applies to a few experiments
Outcomes must be broken down into categories that are so specific that something only fits in once.

13. Create the following graphs using the data provided.
The total number of birds visiting each feeder
The daily number of birds visiting each feeder.
The percentages of the type of bird visiting the feeder with seed and honey.
***30 points***
From your graphs what conclusions can you form about the experiment.
In this experiment was repetition used? Explain your answer.
