Using a Scientific Approach Section 1.2 Pg. 7-11
17
SCIENTIFIC METHOD An ________ plan for gathering, organizing, and communicating _________ The ____ of any scientific method is to solve a problem or to better _________ an observed event.
18
1.Making Observations – _________ that you obtain through your ______ – Repeatable observations FACTS 1.Forming a Hypothesis – A proposed ______ to a question – It must be ________ Steps of SCIENTIFIC METHOD
19
3.Testing a Hypothesis – Experiments are performed to ____ hypotheses Experiment: o Variable- any factor that can ______ in the experiment a)Manipulated Variable: causes a change in another (___________) b)Responding Variable: changes in ________ to the manipulated variable (_________) o Controlled Experiment- an experiment in which only one variable, the manipulated variable, is deliberately changed at a time. While the responding variable is ________ for changes, all other variables are kept constant or controlled. Steps of SCIENTIFIC METHOD
20
4.Analyze Data & Draw Conclusions – Use the data collected from the ___________ – If the data does not support the _________ a new experiment must be designed to test the revised or new hypothesis 5.Developing a _______ – The hypothesis must be supported in repeated experiments to begin development of a theory – Scientific Theory- a well-tested _________ for a set of observations or experimental results – Theories are _______ proved Steps of SCIENTIFIC METHOD

MEASUREMENT Section 1.3 Pg. 14-20
27
Scientific Notation A way of expressing a ____ as the product of a number between 1 and __ and a power of 10. Example: 300,000,000 – 3.0 x 10 8 The _______ tells you that the decimal point is really 8 places to the right of the 3. For numbers less than 1 that are written in scientific notation, the exponent is _______.
28
Scientific Notation Example 2: 0.00086 – S.N. is 8.6 x 10 -4 The negative exponent tells you how many decimal places there are to the left of the 8.6 Scientific Notation makes very large or very small numbers ______ to work with.
29
Scientific Notation When multiplying… – Multiply the numbers that appear before the multiplication signs – ___ the exponents (3.0 x 10 8 m/s) x (5.0 x 10 2 s) = 15 x 10 10 m = 1.5 x 10 11 m
30
Scientific Notation When dividing… – Divide the numbers that appear before the exponential terms – _________ the exponents
31
Scientific Notation Significant digits are one of the following: – non-zero numbers, – ______ in-between two non-zero numbers, – _______ zeroes after a decimal point or in _____ of the decimal point when indicated
32
SI Units of Measurement International ________ of Units (SI) ___ is a revised version of the metric system Can readily interpret one another’s measurements
33
Base Units and Derived Units SI is built upon seven metric units, known as ____ units Base Units Length- the straight-line ________ between two points meter (m) Mass- the quantity of ______ in an object or sample kilogram (kg)
34
Derived Units are made from _________ base units Derived Units Volume- the ______ of space taken up by an object cubic meters Density- _____ of an object’s mass to its volume kilogram per cubic meter Base Units and Derived Units
35
Metric Prefixes Indicate how many times a unit should be multiplied or divided by 10
36
Metric Prefixes From kilo- to milli- King Henry Doesn’t (Usually) Drinks Chocolate Milk
37
Limits of Measurement _______- a gauge of how exact a measurement is – EX: Analog clock- 5 min, Digital- 5 min 15 sec the digital clock has more significant figures – (sig. figs. Are all the digits that are known in a measurement, plus the last digit that is estimated) – The _____ the sig. figs., the ____ precise the measurement is
38
_______- the closeness of a measurement to the _____ value of what is being measured. – Ex: if digital clock is running 15 min slow, the clock would remain precise to the nearest second, but the time displayed would not be accurate Limits of Measurement
40
Measuring Temperature ___________: instrument that measures temperature, or how hot an object is °C = (5/9)(°F – 32.0°)°F = (9/5)(°C)+32.0° SI unit for temp. is ______ (K), 0 K refers to the ______ possible temp. that can be reached.. In °C this is -273.15°C K = °C + 273
42
