Title: Solving Problems


1
Solving Problems Developing Theories Notes
2
Objective
  • Apply scientific methods to problem solving.

3
Vocabulary
  • Scientific Method
  • Hypothesis
  • Experiment
  • Control
  • Variable
  • Theory

4
Scientific Method
  • Procedure used to solve problems and answer
    questions that can include stating the problem,
    forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis with
    an experiment, analyzing data, and drawing
    conclusions.

5
  • Observations can be made in many different
    settings.

Fieldwork
Laboratory investigation
Computer models
6
Hypothesis
  • Prediction that can be tested.

7
Experiment
  • Using controlled conditions to test a hypothesis.

8
Control
  • Standard to which the outcome of a test is
    compared.

9
Variable
  • Something in an experiment that can change.

10
Theory
  • Explanation of things or events based on
    scientific knowledge that is the result of many
    observations and experiments.

11
  • If data collected from several experiments over a
    period of time all support the hypothesis, it
    finally can be called a theory.
