11. “Imagination is more important than knowledge
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
-Albert Einstein

12. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD “What do you imagine of when you hear the word scientist?

15. What is a problem that you deal with everyday?

16. State the problem or question… Ask why.
The STEPS are…
State the problem or question… Ask why.
What do you want to find out?

17. 2. Gather background information… Research, learn

18. 3. Form a hypothesis… a testable, possible explanation
3. Form a hypothesis… a testable, possible explanation. What do you think will happen? If…then…

19. 4. Test hypothesis… experiment, observe, make a model
4. Test hypothesis… experiment, observe, make a model. Make a specific list of what will be done.

20. 5. Analyze data – make tables, graphs, etc. What happened
5. Analyze data – make tables, graphs, etc. What happened? What did you see, hear smell? [observations]

21. 6. Draw conclusion – what do the results mean
6. Draw conclusion – what do the results mean? Was your hypothesis correct?

22. Nothing is ever proved in science, only supported or refuted!!!
Ex. For hundreds of years, scientists believed that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun and stars revolved around the earth. Now we believe what? Will that ever change?
Is Pluto a planet???
Science is subject to change when new evidence is discovered.

23. What’s the difference between a scientific law and a scientific theory?

24. Scientific Law vs. Scientific Theory
states what happens --
does not change --
never violated
-- e.g.,
Gravity,
Conservation of Mass
theory:
-- e.x., --
tries to explain why or
how something happens
based on current evidence
Evolution,
Atomic Theory

25. Hypothesis- an educated guess that is _____________ explanation
testable
How do you write a good hypothesis?
Do not use the terms "I think" to start the hypothesis.
Use the If….then format.
Identify the problem.
Identify the things (variables) that could affect your experiment.
How do you write a good hypothesis:
If you fail to identify the problem, you most certainly will have difficulty writing the hypothesis.
Identify the major variables

26. Hermit crabs like colorful shells. Bad Hypothesis
Hermit crabs choose colorful shells over drab shells.
Ok Hypothesis
If you give plants miracle grow then they will grow better.
If you give plants miracle grow then they will grow taller.
Good Hypothesis
Hypotheses must be Testable!
You can’t test happiness or fear, love, likes or dislikes; only things you can measure by experiment.

35. Mr. Ferry thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of his class. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Mr. Ferry counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 150 stacks, Group B made 200 stacks.
