NGT Unit 1
Big Idea: 1.02
In this lesson, you will learn how scientist answer questions about the natural world using a variety of methods
Big Idea 1.03/1.04
In this lesson, you will learn that scientists all use a multistep process to experimentally test and answer questions.
Goals for Lesson 1.02:
Understand the steps in a scientific method and how they relate to one another.
Describe how scientific methods developed over time.
Goals for Lesson 1.03/1.04:
Understand how to develop a question and form a hypothesis.
Understand how to design an experiment that tests a hypothesis.
Explain the elements of a well-designed experiment, including controlling the variables.
Understand how taking data and analyzing it is important in a scientific method.
Understand the difference between qualitative data and quantitative data.
Describe how forming conclusions and communicating results are important in a scientific method.
Understand that sometimes new hypotheses or new experiments need to be made.
MAIN IDEAS/QUESTIONS
NOTES:
Scientists use many scientific methods to answer their questions about the natural world. (1.02 Slide 3)
Q. Are scientists the only people to use scientific methods?
Scientists ask questions based on their observations of the natural world. (1.02 Slide 5)
Q. How did the Scientific Revolution chance how we approach the natural world?
Observation is a key process in science. (1.02 Slide 6)
FILL IN -------------------------------
Scientists ask questions and develop hypotheses. (1.02 Slide 7)
Key Term: HYPOTHESIS
FILL IN -------------------------------
Experiments help scientists test their hypotheses. (1.02 Slide 8)
Key Term: EXPERIMENT
Scientists draw conclusions based on their data (1.02 Slide 9)
Q. Do scientists always get the answer to their hypothesis? What three things can they do next?
Scientists communicate their findings?(1.02 Slide 10)
Q. What are two reasons scientists need to share their findings?
