Scientific thought involves: Making observations
Using evidence to draw conclusions
Being skeptical about ideas
Being open to change when new discoveries are made
Chapter 1: Section 1-The Nature of Science
SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT

Science is governed by truths that are valid everywhere in the universe.
Though branches of science address different aspects of the natural world, universal laws apply to all branches of science and every person.
Examples: law of gravity, law of conservation of energy

Ethics are a system of moral principles and values.
Scientists performing investigations must:
Report only accurate data Allow peers to review their work Behave ethically with people involved in research
SCIENCE & ETHICS

A broad understanding of science can help you:
Take better care of your health Be a wiser consumer Become a better informed citizen
You can use science to investigate a problem in your community and discover helpful solutions
WHY STUDY SCIENCE?

Observation The act of noting or perceiving object or events
using the senses.
Hypothesis A possible explanation that can be tested by
observation or experimentation
BEGINNING A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
Chapter 1: Section 2-Scientific Methods
![Page 7: Biology and you chapter 1 holt biology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061601/555d04d4d8b42add648b5688/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Experiment A procedure that is carried out under controlled
conditions to test the hypothesis A controlled experiment tests one factor at a time
and uses a control group and an experimental group
CONTROL GROUP: serves as a standard for comparison in an experiment
EXPERIMENTAL GROUP: identical to control group except for one factor that is changed, which is called a variable
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS

The single factor that scientists change in an experiment is called the independent variable
Factors that may change is response to the independent variable are called dependent variables
NOTE:Some experiments may not be possible or be ethical to perform. In these cases, researchers perform studies.

After conducting an experiment, researchers…
Analyze their results to learn if they support the hypothesis or not
Draw conclusions that explain the results of their experiment
They then verify their conclusions by repeating their experiment many, many times and by checking to see if other researchers get the same results
◦ Every person has his or her own point of view. A particular point of view is called bias.

THEORY A system of ideas that explains many related
observations and is supported by a large body of evidence
If the results of a scientific experiment can be reproduced many times, the research may help develop a new theory.
Future research may also cause a theory to be revised or rejected.

Measurements taken by scientists are expressed in the International System of Units (SI), which is the official name of the metric system.
The International System of Units is used by all Scientists because they need to share a common measurement system.
SI is scaled in multiples of 10

SI is a decimal system. All relationships between SI units are based on powers of 10.
Most SI units have a prefix that indicates the relationship of that unit to a base unit.
Example: kilo- means 1,000. 1kilogram = 1,000 grams (grams is the base unit)

Scientists always: Keep detailed & accurate notes Perform precise measurements
Scientists also use specialized tools & techniques
Ex. Microscopes, sterile techniques, satellites, etc.

When working in the laboratory, you must use caution to avoid things like:
Chemical burns Exposure to radiation Exposure to infectious disease Animal bites Poisonous plants etc.
Always follow all guidelines and lab procedures
Know where to find and how to use all laboratory safety equipment
