Discovering Through Science: Unraveling the Phenomena and Measuring Knowledge

Delve into the scientific method to understand how we measure and investigate various phenomena. Starting with asking questions, conducting research, forming hypotheses, performing experiments, and collecting data, this method allows for the acquisition of new knowledge and conclusions. Explore the steps involved in scientific inquiry from research to experimentation, culminating in drawing valid conclusions based on empirical evidence.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Scientific Method

  2. How do We Measure Phenomenon? Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.

  3. How do we Start our Discovery? We ask the question! Type of questions: Why How Where What

  4. After the question is asked then what? Research! Find any info existing on your phenomenon!

  5. You’ve done some research and now you ready to answer some questions. Hypothesis!!!!!! Hypothesis (EDUCATED guess)

  6. You’ve formulated a hypothesis. Now what? Experiment! Test your hypothesis in a meaningful way. Some things to keep in mind: You need a control (an untested measurable) You will have a dependent variable (substance or object acted upon) Ex: Chal being broken down by HCl. You will have independent variable (Acts upon) EX: HCl that acts upon the chalk.

  7. We’ve completed our testing. NEXT!!! Data collection (Orderly collection of the results from experiment) Usually in a data table format.

  8. Your completely done with the lab work. Finally. Write your conclusion. Why do a lab if not to conclude it to answer your hypothesis. Was your hypothesis correct…
