Chapter 1: Using Scientific Inquiry
Description:
This chapter looks at the different aspects of scientists work, including making observations, organizing data, making models, inferring, and making predictions. We will also look at what scientific investigations involve. Finally, the chapter reviews the proper steps in designing an experiment and the importance of scientific literacy.
Textbook Chapters: Chapter 1: Using Scientific Inquiry: Pg. 4
State Standards:
Objectives
Identify skills scientists use to learn about the world. (Section 1)
Explain the difference between scientific and nonscientific thinking (including pseudoscience) (Section 2)
Discuss what characterizes science and its methods. (Section 2)
Explain what scientific inquiry is and how it involves posing questions and developing hypotheses. (Section 2)
Explain how to design and conduct an experiment so that it uses sound scientific principles. (Section 2)
Compare how scientific explanations are developed in experimental sciences and “historical” sciences. (Section 3)
Explain what scientific literacy is and why it is important. (Section 4)
Explain how to analyze scientific claims using scientific reasoning. (Section 4)
Describe how to conduct background research on a scientific question and evaluate sources of information. (Section 4)
