10 Chapter 1	Chemistry in Our Lives 1.2 Scientific Method: process used by scientists to explain observations in nature.  Copyright ©  2008  by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
11 The scientific methodinvolves:  Observations ,[object Object],Hypothesis ,[object Object],Experiments ,[object Object],Theory  ,[object Object],[object Object]
13 Everyday Scientific Thinking Observation:The sound from a CD in a CD player skips. Hypothesis 1:The CD player is faulty. Experiment 1: When I replace the CD with another one, 		 the sound from this second CD is OK. Hypothesis 2:The original CD has a defect. Experiment 2:When I play the CD in another player, the 		 sound still skips.  Theory: 	 My experimental results indicate the 			 original CD has a defect.
Scientific method State the problem (like a question) Hypothesis (suggest an answer to a problem)                          (If _ind var___  then _dep var___) Plan experiment Gather data Interpret data (look for patterns or trends) Conclusion, plan future work Publish results
Experiment Way of testing a hypothesis Has an independent and a dependent variable Independent variable- you define it, causes a change in another Dependent variable- changes in response to the ind. Var. Control group - reference to find out if there were any changes in the experimental groups.It has all the same elements except the Ind. Var
Tránsito de San Pedro wants to establish if the installation of radars will affect the average velocity of cars driving through MoronesPrieto. establish the problem (Will radars affect the velocity of cars?) Present the hypothesis (If there are radars in specific locations then cars will decrease their speed)  Design the experiment (install radars in locations and measure speed with and without radars) identify independent (radars in specific locations) dependent variable (speed of cars) state the control group. (locations without radars)
Carol is a soccer player.  She told Mark that Adidas training shoes have a greater performance than Nike training shoes, in the soccer field. establish the problem Present the hypothesis Design the experiment identify dependent and independent variable   state the control group.
