  6. The Practice of Science A: Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; The processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation.

  7. The Practice of Science B: The processes of science frequently do not correspond to the traditional portrayal of "the scientific method.“

  8. The Practice of Science C: Scientific argumentation is a necessary part of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in the generation and validation of scientific knowledge.

  9. The Practice of Science D: Scientific knowledge is based on observation and inference; it is important to recognize that these are very different things. Not only does science require creativity in its methods and processes, but also in its questions and explanations.

  10. SC.912.N.1.2: • Describe and explain what characterizes science and its methods.

  11. SC.912.N.1.4: • Identify sources of information and assess their reliability according to the strict standards of scientific investigation.

  12. SC.912.N.1.7: • Recognize the role of creativity in constructing scientific questions, methods and explanations.

  13. SC.912.N.1.6: • Describe how scientific inferences are drawn from scientific observations and provide examples from the content being studied.

  14. SC.912.N.1.5: • Describe and provide examples of how similar investigations conducted in many parts of the world result in the same outcome.

  15. SC.912.N.1.3: • Recognize that the strength or usefulness of a scientific claim is evaluated through scientific argumentation, which depends on critical and logical thinking, and the active consideration of alternative scientific explanations to explain the data presented.

  17. The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge • A: Scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence, and is appropriate for understanding the natural world, but it provides only a limited understanding of the supernatural, aesthetic, or other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, or religion.

  18. The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge • B: Scientific knowledge is durable and robust, but open to change.

  19. The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge • C: Because science is based on empirical evidence it strives for objectivity, but as it is a human endeavor the processes, methods, and knowledge of science include subjectivity, as well as creativity and discovery.

  20. SC.912.N.2.1: • Identify what is science, what clearly is not science, and what superficially resembles science (but fails to meet the criteria for science).

  21. SC.912.N.2.3: • Identify examples of pseudoscience (such as astrology, phrenology) in society.

  22. SC.912.N.2.2: • Identify which questions can be answered through science and which questions are outside the boundaries of scientific investigation, such as questions addressed by other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, and religion.

  23. SC.912.N.2.4: • Explain that scientific knowledge is both durable and robust and open to change. Scientific knowledge can change because it is often examined and re-examined by new investigations and scientific argumentation. Because of these frequent examinations, scientific knowledge becomes stronger, leading to its durability.

  24. SC.912.N.2.5: • Describe instances in which scientists' varied backgrounds, talents, interests, and goals influence the inferences and thus the explanations that they make about observations of natural phenomena and describe that competing interpretations (explanations) of scientists are a strength of science as they are a source of new, testable ideas that have the potential to add new evidence to support one or another of the explanations.

  26. The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models • The terms that describe examples of scientific knowledge, for example: "theory," "law," "hypothesis" and "model" have very specific meanings and functions within science.

  27. SC.912.N.3.5: • Describe the function of models in science, and identify the wide range of models used in science.

  28. SC.912.N.3.1: • Explain that a scientific theory is the culmination of many scientific investigations drawing together all the current evidence concerning a substantial range of phenomena; thus, a scientific theory represents the most powerful explanation scientists have to offer.

  29. SC.912.N.3.2: • Describe the role consensus plays in the historical development of a theory in any one of the disciplines of science.

  30. SC.912.N.3.3: • Explain that scientific laws are descriptions of specific relationships under given conditions in nature, but do not offer explanations for those relationships.

  31. SC.912.N.3.4: • Recognize that theories do not become laws, nor do laws become theories; theories are well supported explanations and laws are well supported descriptions.

  33. Science and Society • As tomorrows citizens, students should be able to identify issues about which society could provide input, formulate scientifically investigable questions about those issues, construct investigations of their questions, collect and evaluate data from their investigations, and develop scientific recommendations based upon their findings.

  34. SC.912.N.4.1: • Explain how scientific knowledge and reasoning provide an empirically-based perspective to inform society's decision making.

  35. SC.912.N.4.2: • Weigh the merits of alternative strategies for solving a specific societal problem by comparing a number of different costs and benefits, such as human, economic, and environmental.

  37. My Own Two Cents • Can public perception of “science”, even if it is based on “bad science”, influence decision making?

  38. Two Cents More • How can scientific theories affect culture, religion or societal norms?

  40. Finally physics!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. What is physics?

  42. Nature of the Subject • Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences as it seeks to explain everything in the universe from quarks (10-17m) to the expansion of the universe at billions of light years.

  43. Nature of the Subject • Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interaction. • Physics attempts to explain observations in nature and to use mathematics to predict how nature will act.

  44. Physics Teachers can even use math to predict your favorite movie

  45. Do the Math • Pick a number from 1-9. • Multiply by 3. • Add 3. • Multiply by 3 again. • Now add the two digits of your answer together • Remember the result but keep it to yourself. This number represents your favorite movie from the list on the following slide.

  46. Find your favorite movie 1. Gone With The Wind 2. E.T. 3. Blazing Saddles 4. Star  Wars 5. Forrest Gump 6. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 7. Jaws 8. Grease 9. Devil Physics Rewind 10.  Casablanca 11.  Jurassic Park 12. Shrek 13. Pirates of the Caribbean 14. Titanic 15. Raiders Of The Lost Ark 16. Home Alone 17. Mrs. Doubtfire 18. Toy Story

  47. Nature of the Subject

  48. Nature of the Subject • Physics not only shows us how we can view the world, but also how we can live within it.

  49. Nature of the Subject • Physics gives you a great sense of humor • Stephen Hawking tells a joke
