What do scientists do?
Scientists Investigate
Scientists Plan Experiments
Scientists Observe
Scientists Test ResultsSlide13
What kind of scientist do you want to be?
What subjects will we focus on?Slide14
Theories vs Laws
What are some theories that you know about? What are some laws?
How are these similar and different?Slide15
Theories vs Laws
Scientific Law: Describes a process in nature that can be tested by repeated experiment.
A law allows predictions to be made about how a system will behave under a wide range of conditions.
Examples???Slide16
Theories vs Laws
Scientific Theory: An explanation of how a natural process works.
To be a valid theory it must:
Explain observations clearly and consistently
Be repeatable
Be able to be used to predict future results.
Examples???Slide17
Practice
Directions: Label each statement as either
theory
or
law
. Then, underline the word or words that helped you
decide and explain your reasoning.
The
continents drift at a rate of 1 – 12 inches per year
.
Continental
drift is caused by convection
currents
Evolution
occurs because of natural selection
.
Species
change over time. This is called evolution
.
Matter
cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only
change
form
.
Heat
can cause matter to change form by accelerating particles, leading to a phase change or chemical reaction
