Study Notes
Introduction to Science
- The main topic of the lecture is the introduction to science and the scientific method.
- The objective of acquiring knowledge is to understand the world around us.
Ancient Civilizations and Scientists
- The ancient civilization of Mesopotamia studied astronomy, mathematics, and medicine almost 4,000 years ago.
- Aristotle established the field of science through extensive literature and data collection.
- Democritus developed the hypothesis of atoms and matter.
- Aristotle believed in using deductive reasoning.
- Aristotle believed in the power of observation and experimentation.
Scientific Methods and Theories
- The basic scientific method involves making observations, formulating hypotheses, and testing predictions.
- A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation for a set of phenomena.
- A scientific law is a mathematical formula that describes a pattern or relationship.
- Inductive reasoning is used to expand knowledge based on observations of a sample population.
- Deductive reasoning is used to draw conclusions based on premises.
Paradigms and Paradigm Shifts
- A paradigm refers to the set of practices and theoretical framework within a scientific discipline at a particular time.
- A paradigm shift occurs when a new theory or discovery challenges and replaces existing knowledge.
- Examples of paradigm shifts include Copernicus' heliocentric view of the universe and Einstein's theory of relativity.
Scientific Terminology and Models
- Scientific terminology is crucial in science to ensure accurate communication and understanding.
- Scientific models are used to describe and predict phenomena.
- The cyclical process of the scientific method involves continuous refinement and revision of theories and models.
The School of Athens
- The School of Athens painting by Raphael depicts Aristotle and Plato.
- Aristotle represents empirical observation and deductive reasoning in the painting.
EA1110 and the Workshop
- The online activity for EA1110 is designed to facilitate active learning and engagement.
- The workshop on Scientific Method and Referencing aims to provide practical skills and knowledge.
- Participants are required to wear lab coats and closed-toe shoes in the lab.
- Missing the face-to-face sessions of the workshop may result in failure to complete the course requirements.
