Chapter One: Science is Everywhere
• 1.1 Learning about Science
• 1.2 Observing the World
• 1.3 Using the Scientific Method

Investigation 1A
• How can we measure the rate at which water is flowing?
Measuring Flow Rate

1.2 Observing the World
• An observation is an accurate description of a thing or an event.
• “The sky is blue” is an observation.
What observations can you make about this picture?What observations are hard to make from a picture?

1.2 Observation vs. Opinion
• An observation is: – It is raining.
• An opinion is: – I like rain!

1.2 Using all of your senses
Each of these senses is valuable in making observations:1. seeing2. hearing3. touching4. tasting5. smelling

1.2 Recording Observations• Observations from experiments are written in a
notebook—an important tool in science.• The science process helps you know what to
write.

1.2 Recording Observations
• First you record your observations, a question, and a hypothesis.
• Then you record the experiment procedure and data.
• Data can be descriptions or measurements.
• You write your conclusions last.

1.2 Recording Observations• Now your experiment can be repeated by you or
by other people because you have recorded everything you did!

Activity
• In order to be a good scientist, you must practice the skill of making observations.
