Study Notes
Scientific Inquiry
-
Creativity is a vital part of science, it is involved in designing experiments, formulating questions, and creating explanations that fit evidence.
-
Models are useful in scientific investigations for several reasons. They are often smaller and more manageable than the real thing, safer to work with, and may be necessary when working with something that cannot be worked with in real life.
-
A scientific investigation is replicable when the same investigation is conducted in two different laboratories by two different scientists and the same results are produced.
-
It is important to confirm new scientific findings through multiple investigations that produce consistent results. This confirmation helps scientists know that new findings are reliable and can be accepted.
-
The last step in the scientific method is to communicate your results.
Scientific Theory
- New observations or information that does NOT support a scientific theory or law could result in the theory or law being changed.
Types of Scientific Investigations
- Comparative Investigation: Involves collecting data on different populations, organisms, etc. to discover similarities and differences.
- Descriptive Investigation: Focuses on describing a phenomenon or system.
- Experimental Investigation: A controlled study that tests a hypothesis. This type of investigation uses a control group and experimental groups to determine cause and effect.
Importance of Imagination in Science
- Imagination is important for creativity as it allows scientists to think of new ideas and solutions.
