Scientific Method
• The scientific method is a logical approach to solving problems
Section 1 Scientific MethodChapter 2
![Page 3: Chapter 2 Part I: Scientific Method And SI Units!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f175503460f94c2e203/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The First Step in Scientific Method:Observing and Collecting Data• Observing is the use of the 5 senses to obtain
information.
• data may be • qualitative (descriptive)• quantitative (numerical)
• A system is a specific portion of matter in a given region of space that has been selected for study during an experiment or observation.
Section 1 Scientific MethodChapter 2

Observation versus Inference
• Observation: What you see, hear, touch, taste, smell.• Inference: Conclusions drawn from your observations.
• I smell something flowery. Observation• I am in a rose garden.

Observations: Qualitative and/or Quantitative
•Qualitative:
•The quality of an item.
•Beauty, goodness, color etc.
•A non-numerical assessment.
•A beautiful Flower

Observations: Qualitative and/or Quantitative
•Quantitative
•Results in a definite form.
•Usually as number with units
•$5,694.56

Step 2:Formulating Hypotheses
• Scientists make generalizations based on the data.
• Scientists use generalizations about the data to formulate a hypothesis, or testable statement.
• Hypotheses are often “if-then” statements.
Section 1 Scientific MethodChapter 2
![Page 8: Chapter 2 Part I: Scientific Method And SI Units!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f175503460f94c2e203/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Formulating Hypotheses

Step 3: Testing Hypotheses
• Testing a hypothesis requires experimentation that provides data to support or refute a hypothesis or theory.
• Controls are the experimental conditions that remain constant.
• Variables are any experimental conditions that change.

Step 4: Theorizing
• A model in science is often an explanation of how and why phenomena occur.
• visual, verbal, or mathematical• example: atomic model of matter
• A theory is a broad generalization that explains a body of facts or phenomena.
• example: atomic theory

Units of Measurement
• Measurements represent quantities.
• A quantity is something that has magnitude, size, or amount.
• measurement quantity• the teaspoon is a unit of measurement• volume is a quantity
• The choice of unit depends on the quantity being measured.
Section 2 Units of MeasurementChapter 2

SI Measurement
• Scientists all over the world have agreed on a single measurement system called Le Système International d’Unités, abbreviated SI.
Section 2 Units of MeasurementChapter 2
• SI has seven base units
• most other units are derived from these seven

• The unit for weight is gram.
• One gram of pure water is one milliliter in volume.
• Therefore: 1 gram of water = 1 mL of water
• This only works for water!
