Objectives • Scientificmethod • Microscopeusage, handling and care
Introduction • What you do when you don´t know something? • Options? • And…whennobodyknows? Guess…? Imagine…? Dream…? If you are investigating something unknown in the real world, then you are doing science. But you need a tool… to think

The Scientific Method • Observe an event. • Develop a model (or hypothesis) which makes a prediction. • Test the prediction. • Observe the result. • Revise the hypothesis. • Repeat as needed. • A successful hypothesis becomes a ScientificTheory.

THE SCIENTIFIC METHIOD WAS A THINKING TOOL • BUT IN RECENT HISTORY HISTORY ONE TOOL HAS ALLOWED US TO DISCOVER A PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN WORLD • WITHOUT THIS TOOL WE WOULD NEVER HAVE MADE
