2. No fixed order
3. Answers one question
4. Answers multiple questions
5. A step-by-step process done

A
  1. Scientific Method 2. Scientific Inquiry 3. Scientific Method 4. Scientific Inquiry 5. Scientific Method
24
Q

What is pure science?

A

The search for knowledge or facts. It uses theories and predictions to understand nature. Geology is an example of pure science.

25
What is applied science?
Using knowledge in a practical way. Related to engineering and technology. The development of a rocket is an example of applied science.
26
What model is this? Something that can be built such as a molecule that is made of marshmallows, gumdrops, and sticks
Physical model
27
What model is this? A three-dimensional simulation of a moving object or a chemical reaction
Computer model
28
Calculations involving a particular mathematical equation; for example an equation of a line
Mathematical model
29
Once a hypothesis has been proven through tests and experiments, scientists will develop a ____
Theory
30
What is a theory?
A proposed explanation that is based on an examination of facts. (Facts can be observed and measured.) A theory is a scientist’s explanation of the facts.
31
Theories can be ___ or rejected. They can also be changed and improved as more ___ are gathered through _____ or modeling. Theories are the basis for ____ knowledge. They are a way to take collected facts and put them to _____ use.
Changed, facts, experimentation, scientific, practical
32
a testable, tentative explanation for an observation Purpose: It serves as a starting point for investigation and is designed to be tested through experiments or observations.
Hypothesis
33
a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world, supported by extensive evidence and repeated testing Purpose: To aim to explain a wide range of phenomena and provide a framework for understanding the natural world.
Theory
34
So in result can a hypothesis become a theory?
Yes a hypothesis can indeed become a theory, but only after extensive testing, evaluation by the scientific community, and strong supporting evidence.
35
Scientific laws describe what happens in ____.
Nature
36
Who was the French chemist that wrote the Law of Conservation of Mass in 1774?
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier
37
What does the Law of Conservation of Mass say?
That during a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, just rearranged.
38
What is a law?
A rule based on observation of a process in nature that behaves the same way each and every time
39
A _____ describes what happens A _____ describes why something happens
Law, theory
40
So in result, can a theory become a law? Can a hypothesis become a law?
No
41
What is chemistry?
Chemistry is the branch of science that studies matter, what is is and how is changes.
42
How do organic compounds differ from inorganic compounds?
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen bonds. Most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon.
43
Name three of the five basic areas of chemistry and what scientists study in these areas.
1. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds. 2. Inorganic chemistry is the study of everything except carbon-based compounds. 3. Biochemistry is the chemistry of living things. 4. Physical chemistry is the study of chemical systems in terms of the principles of physics that used to measure physical properties of substances 5. Nuclear chemistry is the study of radioactivity and the decay of atoms
44
What are two methods for investigating science?
Scientists approach their investigations either by searching for pure science (through knowledge and facts) or discovering applied science (using knowledge in a practical way)
45
Name the basic steps of scientific inquiry
The basic steps of scientific inquiry are: ask a question, do background research, make hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze results, draw a conclusion, and share the results. If the hypothesis is proven false, another step is to create a new hypothesis.
46
What are models and why are they used in science?
Models are representations of the experiment or object that allows the scientist to easily observe and gather data
47
What is the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?
A theory is a scientist’s explanation of the facts, either measured or observed. A law is a rule based on observation of a process in nature that behaves the same way, every single time.
