The scientific method is the process used by scientists to explain observations in nature. It involves making observations, writing a hypothesis, doing experiments to test the hypothesis, and proposing a theory to describe how the observations occur based on experimental results. The steps are: 1) making observations of natural events, 2) proposing a hypothesis to explain the observations, 3) designing experiments to test the hypothesis, and 4) using experimental results to develop a theory describing how the observations happen.

This document discusses a talk given by William W Nazaroff on collaborating to study indoor microbiomes from Newtonian and Darwinian perspectives. It summarizes Harte's analysis of how physicists and ecologists approach their work differently, with physics seeking simplicity and universality while ecology finds increasing complexity. Nazaroff observes successful collaborations occur in small groups that foster mutual trust, teaching, and credit-sharing. Studying indoor microbiomes provides opportunities to advance understanding, though sustained support and challenging assumptions will be needed to overcome inertia. Nazaroff's own collaboration with Peccia's lab is producing results on indoor bacteria and fungi emissions.
SCIENCE
This document discusses science and the scientific method. It begins by defining science as a way of exploring and explaining the natural world using a process designed to reduce chances of being misled. It then discusses scientific disciplines, noting that they are branches of knowledge that are limited in scope to make them more manageable, though all branches are interrelated. Examples of scientific disciplines include physical sciences like physics and chemistry, and biological sciences like botany and zoology. The document also discusses chemistry as a scientific discipline focused on composition, structure and properties of matter, and changes during chemical reactions. It notes that chemistry incorporates energy concepts and is fundamental to understanding living organisms and processes. Finally, the document outlines the scientific method as a formal process used
Unit i aims and objectives of teaching biological science
This unit discusses (understand) the aims and objectives of teaching Biological Science, instructional objectives for a lesson in Biological Science, and how to teach demonstrate (gain mastery of) the teaching skills in Biological Science and apply various methods in the teaching of Biological Science and
use various resources in teaching Biological Science.
1.Science Vs Ethics
This document discusses the relationship between science and ethics in addressing environmental issues. It argues that both science and ethics are needed to make meaningful progress on environmental challenges. While science provides understanding, the practical applications of science may not be neutral or objective.

The Process of Science
• Science is an approach to understanding the
natural world that is based on inquiry:
• a search for information,
• explanations, and
• answers to specific questions.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Process of Science
• This basic human drive to understand our natural
world is manifest in two main scientific approaches:
• discovery science, which is mostly about describing
nature, and
• hypothesis-driven science, which is mostly about
explaining nature.
• Most scientists practice a combination of these two
forms of inquiry.

Discovery Science
• Science seeks natural causes for natural
phenomena.
• This limits the scope of science to the study of
structures and processes that we can
• verifiably observe and
• measure directly or indirectly with the help of tools
and technology, such as microscopes.
