Study Notes
Integrated Science Process Skills
- Communicating: Presenting ideas using various modes, including words and graphic symbols, to describe actions, objects, or events.
- Classifying: Identifying similarities and differences among objects or phenomena and organizing them into categories based on shared characteristics.
- Controlling Variables: Recognizing factors influencing experimental outcomes and maintaining them constant while manipulating others.
- Defining Operationally: Stating definitions of concepts or variables, including how they can be measured during an experiment.
- Hypothesizing: Formulating general statements that explain events and predicting expected outcomes of experiments.
- Experimenting: Conducting fair investigations to test hypotheses.
- Interpreting Data: Providing rational explanations for objects, events, or patterns derived from gathered information.
- Using Space-Time Relationship: Developing models to describe how parameters change over time in a process or event.
Physical Unit
- A known measure used to compare physical quantities of the same type, representing attributes or properties of the quantity.
Systems of Units
-
Human-based units: Measurement units derived from body dimensions, e.g., fathom, cubit, digit for length; picul for mass; nimesha for time.
-
English/British/Imperial system:
- Length includes mile, yard, foot, and inch.
- Mass includes pound, ounce, and stone.
- Time measured in seconds; temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
-
CGS system:
- Length: centimeter.
- Mass: gram.
- Time: second.
-
MKS/MKSA/Metric system:
- Length: meter.
- Mass: kilogram.
- Time: second; electric current: ampere; temperature: degrees Celsius.
-
International System of Units (SI):
- Length: meter; mass: kilogram; time: second; electric current: ampere; thermodynamic temperature: kelvin; amount of substance: mole; luminous intensity: candela.
Predicting
- The process of forecasting future events based on observations, past experiences, or available data. Examples include predicting rain from dark clouds and anticipating a tsunami from receding seawater.
Science Process Skills
- Defined by the Science - A Process Approach (SAPA) curriculum as broadly transferable skills necessary across various science disciplines, reflecting scientists' behaviors.
- Skills are classified into two types: basic and integrated.
Basic Science Process Skills
-
Observing: Collecting information about objects or phenomena using senses.
- Qualitative Observation: Utilizing descriptive language (e.g., "The truck is heavy").
- Quantitative Observation: Employing numbers and measurements (e.g., "The man is 185 cm tall").
-
Inferring: Explaining observations by drawing on past experiences and previously gathered data.
-
Measuring: Describing dimensions of objects or events using both standard and nonstandard instruments, or estimations.
Physical Quantity
- An attribute or property of an object or system expressed as a measurable value, using instruments or senses for quantification.
