Science is a process of observing, studying, and thinking about things in your world to gain knowledge.

• Biology-living things• Chemistry-atoms/molecules• Physics-motion• Astronomy-space• Zoology-animals• Botany-plants• Microbiology-microorganisms• Genetics-genes/heredity• Ecology-environment• Paleontology-fossils• Psychology-brain/behavior• Gastroenterology-digestive system• Neurology-nervous system

• Anatomy-body parts• Physiology-how body parts work• Ichthyology-fish• Entomology-insects• Ornithology-birds• Geology-earth• Climatology-climate• Meteorology-weather• Oceanography-oceans• Pathology-diseases• Virology-viruses• Hydrology-water

movement/distribution

Through what method do scientists try to solve problems?

• Scientific method– Definition: a series of steps used to solve a

problem.

Page 4: Do Now Define science List 5 different branches of science

The Scientific Method

• Identify the problem• Gathering information• Develop hypothesis• Test the hypothesis• Analyze the results• Draw conclusions

Page 5: Do Now Define science List 5 different branches of science

The Scientific Method

• Identifying a problem• Purpose?• Enhance understanding

• Gathering Information• Research• Indicate if and where controversy exists

• Make a hypothesis• Definition- an educated guess

Page 6: Do Now Define science List 5 different branches of science

The Scientific Method

• Working with a partner brainstorm several ideas for an experiment.

• Come up with a testable hypothesis.

Page 7: Do Now Define science List 5 different branches of science

The Scientific Method

• Test the hypothesis• Experimentation

– Procedures• Choose variables

• Dependent variable—Change in response to other variables; what is being tested

• Independent variable—influences the dependent variable; variable that changes

• Control—independent variable is held constant; unchanged

– Materials gathered

• Reproducibility and repeatability?

The Scientific Method

• Analyze the Results• What occurred?

– Observations– Measurements– Graphs – Charts

• Draw conclusions• Answers the question• Is the hypothesis correct

– Theory—proven hypothesis

• Problems/Changes in the experiment

• Using the article “Is Txting 2 Much Bad 4 U,” brainstorm with a partner about a possible experimental design.

• Be sure to come up with a possible Problem statement, hypothesis, and experimental design.
