    This document discusses science and the scientific method. It defines science as a systematic field of study involving acquiring knowledge through observation and experimentation. The main branches of science are biological science, earth science, and physical science. It then provides examples of sub-disciplines within each branch. The scientific method is described as a logical process that starts with making an observation, asking a question, gathering data, forming a hypothesis, designing an experiment to test the hypothesis, making more observations, and drawing conclusions to either support or modify the hypothesis.

    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    A way of thinking about
    and solving problems
    It is a logical method
    You do it all the time
    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    Starts with observation- can be
    anything
    Question what do you want to know?
    Gather data- what is already known
    Form hypothesis- a possible
    explanation
    Design experiment to test hypothesis
    This is the hard part
    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    Experiments generate more
    observations
    Allow us to draw conclusions
    about hypothesis
    Support the hypothesis or not
    If not modify hypothesis
    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    Observe
    Collect
    data
    Form
    hypothesis
    Experiment
    tests hypothesis
    Observation
    Observation
    Observation
    Formulate
    a question
    Draw
    Conclusions
    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    Does not always work this way, but
    gives a way of guiding our thinking
    Hard part is testing only one variable
    at a time.
    Changing only one thing at a time
    If you change more than one, you dont
    know which one is the cause
