Erickson, M. Ed.
The driving force behind scientific investigations
Science, the domain is broken into multiple classifications based on what is being studied
Life sciences- ecology, biology, marine biology, microbiology (just to name a few)
Problem Solving Critical Thinking
Organizing thoughts to solve a problem
Systematical manner
Separate unimportant information from the important information
Think About Ex. Your cell phone is
dying, you plug the phone and charger into the wall outlet. You discover the phone isn't charging.Solve

Gather Information Hypothesis

Manipulate variables Collect Data
Analyze Conclusion
Science is not ALWAYS SO ORDELY
Science is not conducted in a straight forward manner, which is commonly taught as the scientific method.
Question: Turtle eggs Develop a testable question
Predict the outcome Design an experiment
Does the temperature of an egg affect if the turtle is male or female?
Hypothesis: Turtle eggs develop into male turtles in cold temperature and into female turtles in warm temperature.
Design an experiment to show if the hypothesis is correct
25 eggs are gathered, 4 batch60 days
26C: 21 male, 2 female 28C: 13 male, 12 female 30C: 1 male, 19 female 32C: 1 male, 20 female
