What is Science?
the pursuit of knowledge
and understanding

Scientific Method
A logical and orderly method used to solve
problems.
All branches of science attempt to understand the universe by using the

Hypothesis
an educated guess.

Variable:anything that
varies (changes) in an experiment.
Vocabulary:

Manipulated Variable:
the variable that is deliberately
changed to see what effect it has…on the responding
variable.
Vocabulary:

Responding Variable:
the variable that is measured to see if it is responding to the manipulated
variable.
Vocabulary:

Controlled Variable:
the variable that is kept unchanged so
that it will not interfere with the
results.

3 Main Branches of Science:
3. Physical Science– Chemistry:
= the study of matter and it’s changes– Physics:
= the study of energy and forces
2. Life Science– Biology
– Ecology
1. Earth/Space Science– Geology
– Astronomy
