1.5 How Does Science Work?
• Thinking about thinking
– Critical thinking: judging information before
accepting it
– Move beyond the content of new information
to consider supporting evidence, bias, and
alternative interpretations
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method
• Science: systematic study of the
observable world
• Hypothesis: testable explanation of a
natural phenomenon
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method (cont’d.)
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method (cont’d.)
• Inductive reasoning: drawing a conclusion
based on observation
• Prediction: statement, based on a
hypothesis, about a condition that should
exist if the hypothesis is correct
• Deductive reasoning: using a general idea
to make a conclusion about a specific
case
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method (cont’d.)
• Model: analogous system used for testing
hypotheses
• Experiment: test designed to support or
falsify a prediction
• Researchers often investigate causal
relationships by changing and observing
variables
– Variable: a characteristic or event that differs
among individuals or over time
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method (cont’d.)
• Independent variable: condition or
treatment controlled by the experimenter
• Dependent variable: observed result that
is influenced by the independent variable
• Experimental group: receive a certain
treatment or have certain characteristics
• Control group: identical to an experimental
group, but without exposure to the
independent variable
© Cengage Learning 2015
The Scientific Method (cont’d.)
• Data (test results) that are consistent with
the prediction support the hypothesis
• Data inconsistent with the prediction are
evidence that the hypothesis is flawed and
should be revised
• Scientific method: making, testing, and
evaluating hypotheses

  • 5. © Cengage Learning 2015 The Scientific Method (cont’d.) • Inductive reasoning: drawing a conclusion based on observation • Prediction: statement, based on a hypothesis, about a condition that should exist if the hypothesis is correct • Deductive reasoning: using a general idea to make a conclusion about a specific case
  • 6. © Cengage Learning 2015 The Scientific Method (cont’d.) • Model: analogous system used for testing hypotheses • Experiment: test designed to support or falsify a prediction • Researchers often investigate causal relationships by changing and observing variables – Variable: a characteristic or event that differs among individuals or over time
  • 7. © Cengage Learning 2015 The Scientific Method (cont’d.) • Independent variable: condition or treatment controlled by the experimenter • Dependent variable: observed result that is influenced by the independent variable • Experimental group: receive a certain treatment or have certain characteristics • Control group: identical to an experimental group, but without exposure to the independent variable
  • 8. © Cengage Learning 2015 The Scientific Method (cont’d.) • Data (test results) that are consistent with the prediction support the hypothesis • Data inconsistent with the prediction are evidence that the hypothesis is flawed and should be revised • Scientific method: making, testing, and evaluating hypotheses
