WHAT IS CHEMISTRY? Gas: air, oxygen Liquid:
Materials of the universe can be of several forms: Chemistry is the science that deals with the materials of the universe, and the changes they undergo. Gas: air, oxygen Liquid: water, gasoline, vinegar, orange juice Solid: rock, charcoal, table salt, sugar, wood

SCIENTIFIC METHOD The scientific method is a process of creative thinking and testing aimed at objective and verifiable discoveries. It is generally composed of the following steps:
7
SCIENTIFIC METHOD NATURAL LAW OBSERVATION HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENT MODEL
Observations concurred by many. OBSERVATION HYPOTHESIS Facts that our ideas must explain Scientific guess or proposal that explains observations Conceptual assumptions that explain data from experiments. EXPERIMENT Procedure to test hypothesis. Measures one variable at a time Predicts related phenomena MODEL (THEORY)
8
SCIENTIFIC METHOD OBSERVATION HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENT MODEL (THEORY)
Theory modified if additional experiments do not support it HYPOTHESIS Hypothesis is changed if experiments do not support it. EXPERIMENT MODEL (THEORY)
