This document discusses various topics related to science including scientific investigations, reporting and analyzing data, science and technology, and the process of engineering and design. It explains that scientists make hypotheses and inferences to explain their observations and discoveries. Data is analyzed using tables, graphs and computer simulations to help scientists run experiments and present their findings. The document also discusses how technology has advanced due to science, allowing fewer farmers to grow enough food for more people. Both science and technology have limitations in addressing moral and ethical issues. Constraints, whether natural or socially set, influence engineering and design.

1. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS,
REPORTING AND ANALYZING
DATA, SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY, AND PROCESS
OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

2. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS
The goal of a scientist is to discover and explain
the patterns of work at natural systems
As scientists gather more evidence, their theories
can change
When scientists explain their observations, they
sometimes make inferences
Scientists often make a hypothesis to predict what
will happen to the experiment
An explanation shows why or how the event
happened

3. REPORTING AND ANALYZING DATA
Some coastal regions of North Carolina may be
underwater within the next few centuries
Tables and graphs are useless if they are not well
organized
Different graphs and tables can help scientists in
certain ways
Scientists rely on computer to help them run
experiments, analyze data, and present their
findings
Simulations use the calculating power of a computer
to recreate events that are too dangerous,
expensive, or time-consuming to produce in a
regular laboratory

4. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Technology can refer to both how people use it and
the object itself
Technology can mean more than human-made things
Science is the foundation of technology
1900-40% of the nations population lived and worked
in farms and grew enough for 2.5 people
Today-less than 5% live and work on farms and grow
enough for 100 people
Science is able to answer questions about the natural
material

5. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Some technologies are solutions to problems that
are specific to the scientific practice
Neither science nor technology can address the
moral and ethical of humanity

6. PROCESS OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
A constraint is any factor that limits what can be done
when designing and building different types of
technology
There are two main types off constraints: natural and
social
A natural constraint is one that exists because of a set
natural law
A social constraint is one that exists because it is
socially set
Many car engines are developed through social
constraints
scientist try to discover and explain the patterns at
work in the natural systems

9. … PICTURES

10. YEAH… THERE’S A LOT OF PICTURES

11. TEEHEE!!!

12. OKAY… I THINK THIS IS THE REST OF THE
PICTURES

13. I LIED

14. OKAY THIS IS DEFINITELY IT!!!

15. Okay… since this is the end…
this is definitely the last picture!!!
