1. Chapter 1 Science Skills What is Science? Using a Scientific Approach Measurement Presenting Scientific Data

2. Section 1 Science- Not Just For Scientists Sections: 1) How Does the process of science start and end? 2) What is the relationship between science and technology? 3) What are the branches of science?

3. What is science? Science is a system of knowledge and the methods you use to find that knowledge.

4. How Does the process of science start and end? Science begins with curiosity and often ends with discovery.

5. By finding Facts? Fact: The Sun is a source of light and heat.

6. “Science is built up with facts, as a house is built with stones. But a collection of facts is no more science than a heap of stones is a house.”

7. Scientists use the facts to solve larger mysteries of nature. Mystery How does the sun produce the heat and light?

8. Science and Technology Technology is the use of knowledge to solve practical problems. Science and technology are interdependent. advances in one lead to advances in the other. 1876 1914 1956 2003

9. Branches of Science -deals with living things and their parts and actions (Zoology or Botany) -Study of Earth and its rocks, oceans, volcanoes, earthquakes, atmosphere, and other features. -Study of matter and energy (Chemistry and Physics)

11. The Big Ideas of Physical Science Even though scientists have already discovered a great deal about the universe, there is still much to learn.

12. The Big Ideas of Physical Science Space and Time - The universe is both very old and very big. Matter and Change - A very small amount of the universe is matter. Matter has volume and mass, and on Earth usually takes the form of a solid, liquid, or gas. Forces and Motion - If you push on something that is sitting still, it starts to move. If you push on something that is already moving, you will change its motion. Forces cause changes in motion. Energy - Energy exists in many forms.

13. Reviewing Concepts 1. How does the scientific process start and end? 2. How are science and technology related? 3. What are the branches of natural science? 4. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of subdividing science into many different areas. 5. Why do scientists seek to discover new laws of the universe?
