10/5/20153 The Nature of Science Science Law Fact Hypothesis Theory Archimedes
4
10/5/20154 Scientific method Observing (Quantitative) (Qualitative) generalizing theorizing testing
5
10/5/20155 Types of Data (Recorded observations) Quantitative or qualitative
6
10/5/20156 The Role of Hypotheses in Inquiry Tentative answer to a well-framed question, an explanation on trial Makes predictions that can be tested
7
10/5/20157 Hypothesis-Based Science Inquiry that asks specific questions proposing and testing of hypotheses
8
10/5/20158 The Myth of the Scientific Method The scientific method is an idealized process of inquiry Very few scientific inquiries adhere to the “textbook” scientific method
9
10/5/20159 The Nature of Science 1. Science: observation of the world and the constant testing of theories against nature, with the requirement that everything that is to be called science must be testable The character of science matches the American character Practical, pragmatic, classless, based on evidence Healthy skepticism
10
10/5/201510 2. Rational approach to questions 3. Dull slog through failures to reach a conclusion 4. Answers lead to more questions 5. What is a fact, law, hypothesis, theory? 6. Can only address question that deal with the natural world
11
10/5/201511 What science is not Pseudoscience e.g. astrology
12
10/5/201512
13
10/5/201513 Limitations of Science Science cannot address supernatural phenomena Hypotheses must be testable and falsifiable and experimental results must be repeatable
14
10/5/201514 Theories in Science Broad in scope Generate new hypotheses Supported by a large body of evidence Explain Incorporates confirmed observations, laws, and successfully verified hypotheses
15
10/5/201515 Law – description of how a natural phenomenon will occur Fact – natural phenomenon repeatedly confirmed by observation, e.g. Venus takes 225 days to go around the sun
16
10/5/201516 Chemistry: The Central Science chemistry biology physics geology ecology
17
10/5/201517 Natural Sciences Biological (biology, ecology) – living things Physical (chemistry, physics) - nonliving
18
10/5/201518 Branches of chemistry Organic (carbon chemistry) Inorganic Physical Biochemistry Analytical
19
10/5/201519 Matter – anything that has mass & occupies space Mass – measure of quantity of matter Weight – measure of Earth’s gravitational attraction for matter
20
10/5/201520 Gravity – a product of the bending of spacetime
21
10/5/201521 Energy – ability to cause change or ability to do work Kinetic (E of motion) Potential (E of position)
22
10/5/201522 Interconversion of matter and energy E = mc 2
23
10/5/201523 Ecosystems and Energy Flow All the biotic and abiotic factors in a defined area
24
10/5/201524 Energy flows through ecosystems, while matter cycles within them
25
10/5/201525 Ecosystems and Physical Laws Energy is conserved The laws of physics and chemistry apply to ecosystems Particularly in regard to the flow of energy But degraded to heat during ecosystem processes
26
10/5/201526 States of matter Solid (def. shape and vol. Liquid (def. vol, fluid) Gas (neither def. shape or vol.) Plasma (gas w/ + particles & e - )
27
10/5/201527 Physical properties-can be measured w/o chg. In identity (e.g. BP) Extensive – depends on amt. (e.g.length) Intensive – doesn’t depend on amt. (e.g. BP)
28
10/5/201528 Physical change Doesn’t result in chg. In identity
29
10/5/201529 Chemical properties Change in identity
30
10/5/201530 Chemical change One or more substances converted into diff. substances
31
10/5/201531 Chemical reaction Reactants Products
32
10/5/201532 Indications of chem. reaction Evolution of heat and light Production of a gas Formation of precipitate
33
10/5/201533 Reaction types
34
10/5/201534 Mixtures- 2 or more kinds of matter, can be separated by physical means Heterogeneous- not uniform, e.g. vegetable soup Homogeneous- uniform, e.g. salt water, also called solutions
35
10/5/201535 Pure substance- homogeneous sample of matter, e.g. sugar Every sample the same Cannot be separated w/o changing ID 2 types- elements : cannot be decomposed by chemical change, and compounds: can be decomposed
36
10/5/201536 Law of definite composition A cmpd. contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by mass
37
10/5/201537 Periodic table Groups Periods Element symbols, e.g. Fe
38
10/5/201538 Types of elements Metals – luster, reflectors, conduct electricity and heat, ductile, malleable Nonmetals Metalloids – semiconductors, char. of both
