Science: [scientia, knowledge]
1. Knowledge gained through experience…2. Accumulated and accepted knowledge that has
been systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of general laws
3. Branch of study that is concerned with observation and classification of facts concerned with the physical world and its phenomena
![Page 3: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In order to do science we have to make the following assumptions:
• There is order to the universe (even if it is chaotic order)
• The human mind is capable of comprehending this order
• If conditions are the same, the results of any study will be the same
![Page 4: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Which of the following statements can be tested scientifically?
• Most of the energy coming from the sun is in the form of visible light.
• Unicorns exist.• Shelley wrote beautiful poetry.• The Earth was created over four billion years
ago.• Diamond is harder than steel.• Diamonds are more beautiful than rubies.
![Page 5: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• The claim is sometimes made that the scientific method produces closer and closer approximations to "reality."
• Is this a scientific statement? Why or why not?
![Page 6: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Scientific Method
![Page 7: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scientists develop their knowledge by observation and experimentation
Observation is used in two ways:1. Inductive reasoning - discovering general principles
by the careful examination of specific cases. Here the scientist organizes data (facts) into categories and asks what they have in common
2. Deductive reasoning starts with general cases and proceeds to specific cases - it makes relationships clearer and allows predictions to be made
![Page 8: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Scientific knowledge advances by a method known as "strong inference"
Strong inference works as follows:1. Make an observation or measurement2. State an hypothesis 3. Test the hypothesis 4. Publish the results5. Restate the hypothesis, test again

Observation
Semmelweis (1856), observed in hospitals inVienna, that 5X the number of women died during childbirth if they were attended by a physician as compared to being attended by a nurse(“childbed fever”).
One of his colleagues died of childbed fever aftercutting his hand with a scalpel during anautopsy.
Doctors are often doing autopsies beforeattending to childbirths.

Observation
Hypothesis(inductive reasoning)
Semmelweis hypothesized that “cadaveric matter” was transmitted from the autopsy room to the delivery room.

Summary
• The scientific method is in essence a process of observing natural phenomena which leads to the asking of questions about those phenomena which leads to the offering of explanations that can subsequently be tested
![Page 23: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mystery Box
• Hand out mystery boxes• Do hypothesis testing exercise
![Page 24: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types of hypotheses:• Conjectural hypotheses: something that is surmised
based on reasonable evidence, but that offers nothing testable. "I believe that there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe other than earth."
• Explanatory hypotheses: a proposed explanation that needs to be tested. "Salmon swim up streams to breed so that predation on their young is reduced."
![Page 25: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Explanations can be of three different types of claims:
1. Causal mechanisms – cause: men who take a single buffered aspirin each day have a 50% lower chance of heart attack than men who do not take aspirin.
![Page 26: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

2. Laws – When heat is applied to a container of gas, the pressure increases. Why? Guy-Lussac’s Law – If volume is held constant, the pressure exerted by a gas will vary directly with the temperature.

3. Underlying processes - A tungsten bulb is only 10% efficient, but a fluorescent bulb is 90% efficient.Tungsten filament is heated until it glows – 90% of the energy is lost as heat.Mercury vapor in an enclosed tube is energized by electrons, causing it to be absorbed by a phosphorescent coating, causing the coating to fluoresce – only 10% of the energy lost as heat.
![Page 30: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Before beginning to test an explanation....
1. Is there an accurate description of the phenomenon to be explained?
2. Are more plausible rival explanations available?
![Page 31: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Occam’s Razor
Given competing explanations – any of which would, if true, explain a given puzzle – we should initially opt for the explanation that itself contains the least number of puzzling notions.
![Page 32: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Types of hypotheses:
• Conjectural hypotheses: something that is surmised based on reasonable evidence, but that offers nothing testable.
• Explanatory hypotheses: a proposed explanation that needs to be tested.
![Page 33: APAKAH ILMU PENGETAHUAN? ( What is Science? )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816459550346895dd627e2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How to test an explanatory hypothesis
• We must devise a set of experimental conditions under which something specific will occur if the hypothesis is correct but will not occur if the hypothesis is incorrect.
• Therefore our test must meet two exacting criteria:– 1. It must predict what will happen if the
explanation is correct– 2. It must predict what will not happen if the
explanation is wrong.

Francesco Redi
He who experiments increases knowledge. He who speculates piles error upon error. – Arabic epigraph quoted by Redi
