Science starts when we dont know something.

why what where which when how

There are 6 words that we use in English to ask questions.

What are they?

What do we do when we dont know something


8/25

To answer questions we need to collect

information about the world by

When scientists observe, theysee patterns.

Example:

Pure water always boils at 100 degrees Celcius

at sea level.


9/25

Collect information about the world by

Important patterns that are accepted by manyscientists are calledLaws.

Example: The Law of Gravity.

In science, it is very important to make

accurate

You will learn to record data using measuring

instrumentsin the next chapter.

Examples of measuring instruments:

Ruler, Thermometer,Stopwatch


12/25

When we talk, listen, or write we are

When we communicate we share our ideas withother people.

We can do this with words: writing statements,ormaking a table from our measurements.

Or with pictures, photographs


13/25

Please think of all the things that I can

communicate to you with these pictures?

I am hungry

I like Thai food

What is this soup called?

I like to go to the sea

What are these boats doing?I need a holiday

I want to eat fish tonight!

A difficult skill

Example:

What can you infer from

this photograph?

There is a fire!


17/25

WARNING:

Inferring is NOT the same as Observing.

Observing:

A smoking building!

Inferring:

There is a fire!

Inferring is using

observations AND logic.


18/25

To explain observations we formulate a

This is actually an educated guess or a smart

guess

We do this after an observation!!

We will try this in an experiment the next lesson!

22/25

Please draw the experiment in your handouts!

What do you observe when we put the small glass

on the candle?

What do you think happened? THIS IS YOUR

HYPOTHESIS!

If I take a larger glass, what do you think will

happen? THIS IS YOUR PREDICTION!


23/25

THE experiment: TESTING the prediction!

Questions

What do you observe?

How long did it take (fill in the table)

Do youACCEPTorREJECTyour hypothesis?

This is the same as saying:

Is your prediction True orFalse?
