1. Methods of Science, Lesson 1: Understanding Science By: Rasha Shawky

2. -A Scientist : asks questions about the natural world . - There are many kinds of scientists and many questions to ask. - Scientists can work alone or in teams. - Science : is the study of the natural world . - Branches of Science: Earth science : the study of things like rocks, soils, oceans and the atmosphere. Physical science : the study of matter and energy. It includes both Physics and Chemistry. Life science : the study of living things.

3. Scientific Inquiry : -When Scientists use their skills to investigate (answer questions) about the natural world. - Scientists investigate in many ways, one of them is the Scientific Method .

4. Scientific Method

5. A B Two brothers , Wesley & Grayson planted the same kind of plant . They watered them every day with the same amount of water . The two plants were well aerated .

6. After several days ; Grayson Wesley After observing the two plants , they found that both plants were watered with the same amount of water everyday & were well aerated.

7. Observation : is the information collected by using the five senses .

8. I hypothesize that sunlight is important for plant growth Grayson asked his brother a question ; “Why did the plant under the bed wilt ? ”

9. Hypothesis Hypothesis : is an idea or explanation that can be tested with an investigation. Example: ‘’ I hypothesize that sunlight is important for plant growth’’.

10. Grayson and Wesley wanted to make sure from Grayson’s hypothesis , so they decided to plan and conduct an experiment.

11. what is the factor that is changed in this experiment ? The factor that you change in an experiment is called a ……… Sunlight To “Vary” means to “Change” It is important to change only one factor at a time in your experiment Variable

12. An Experiment : is a fair test. It can show that one thing causes another thing to happen. You conduct the experiment multiple times to make sure it is accurate. In each test, I change only one Factor ( Variable ) to be a fair test.

13. After record their results , They concluded that” sunlight is important for their plants to live “. They watered the two plants with the same amount of water every day , but after 3 days; Did the results support Wesley’s hypothesis ?

14. Co llect and Record Data (results): You can use words, numbers or drawings. Now you have evidence, so you can draw conclusion. Evidence : facts or data gained from observations and experiments. Draw conclusion : Conclusion : is an explanation based on Evidence.

15. Step 7: Communicate: (Share results)

16. Scientific investigations use scientific methods: 1) Make observations 2) Ask a question 3) Form a hypothesis 4) Plan and Conduct an experiment 5) Record and Analyze results 6) Draw conclusions 7) Communicate results

18. The variable in this experiment is the……………… Type of soil

19. The variable in this experiment is the……………… Amount of water

20. The variable in this experiment is the ……………… Amount of fertilizer

21. The variable in this experiment is the……………… Temperature

22. Now , its your turn to answer this question using the scientific method. Do you think food color will spread faster in hot or cold water ?
