1. Introduction to Science

Key Concepts & Definitions

Science: The systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation.

Observation: The act of noticing and describing events or processes in a careful, orderly way.

Hypothesis: A proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Data: Information collected during an experiment or study.

Theory: A well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations and hypotheses.

Essential Points

Science helps us understand how the world works by asking questions and seeking evidence. Scientific knowledge is based on evidence gathered through observations and experiments. Science is a continuous process of learning and refining ideas, meaning our understanding can improve over time. Scientific theories are supported by a large body of evidence and remain open to change if new discoveries provide additional insights.

Key Takeaway

Understanding science as a dynamic and evidence-based process allows us to build reliable knowledge about the natural world that can evolve with new evidence.

2. Scientific Method

Key Concepts & Definitions

Experiment: A procedure carried out to test a hypothesis under controlled conditions.
