  1. Chapter 1 – Day 2 Introduction to Science

  2. 3. Scientific vs. Non-Scientific Scientific Non- Scientific • Based on observable, measurable, predictable events • Myths, legends, magic • Cannot be observed, measured or predicted • Used as explanations when scientific knowledge is lacking

  3. 4. Pure Science vs. Technology Pure science Technology • Continue to search for scientific knowledge • Ex: scientist developing super conductors looks at the materials used to make them • Application of science • Ways to use knowledge from pure science • Ex: using superconductors to to build high-speed computers

  4. 5. Scientific Law vs. Scientific Theory Scientific Law Scientific Theory • Summary of an observed natural event • Does not necessarily explain why or how, just tells you WHAT will happen • Explanation that has been tested and proven many times (evidence that supports it) • Much more than a guess! • Tries to explain WHY

  5. Sometimes theories or laws have to be changed or replaced when new discoveries are made.

  6. 6. Scientific Models • Represents an object or event so that it can be studied to understand the real object or event. Examples: • Drawings • Computer models (weatherman) • Mathematical • Simulators

  7. Homework Read pages 8-11 Complete problems 2-5, and 7 on page 11
