WEEK 1 - THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD (SESSION 1)

Image
    EXPLORE (A)   Introduction:          We all have questions about the world. You could ask, "Why do dogs and cats have hair?" One answer might be that it keeps them warm. Just about everything starts with a question. Usually, scientists come up with questions by looking at the world around them. Do you know how do they come up with answers to such questions?          The scientific method is a process used by scientists to study the world around them. It can also be used to test whether any statement is accurate. You can use the scientific method to study a leaf, a dog, an ocean, or the entire Universe. When scientists see something they don't understand, they have some huge urge to answer questions and discover new things. It's one of those scientist personality traits. The trick is that you have to be able to offer some evidence that confirms every answer you give.   Learning Target:...

          The scientific method is a process created in the seventeenth century through which hypotheses are developed, tested and either proven or disproven. It is the organized process of determining the accuracy of scientific theories through careful observation and experimentation. Six Steps of the Scientific Method           The scientific method is used when creating and executing an experiment. The purpose of the scientific method is to have a systematic way of testing ideas and reporting results in the process of scientific inquiry. A key component of the use of the scientific method is that it ensures that the experiment should be able to be replicated by anyone. If that is not possible, then the results are considered invalid. The scientific method consists of six steps: Observation  Formulating Question. Formulating Hypothesis Testing the hypothesis in an experiment Analysis of Data...
