Transcript Chapter 1 Power Point Study Guide

Thinking Like a Scientist:
Observing
Ask questions like:
What? How? Why?
Chimp Diet in May
Like all animals, chimps prefer to eat certain foods when they are
available. Use the information in the table to create a bar graph.
Thinking Like a Scientist: Classifying
By classifying the information related to a chimp’s resting, climbing, or
feeding, a scientist can better understand chimp behavior. Use the chart to
classify the details from the field notes.
Making Models
This model shows Jomeo’s movements and behaviors during one day.
Use the map to answer the questions.
Scientific Attitudes
Discuss and summarize each scientific attitude.
Scientific Reasoning
Decide whether the conclusions are reached by
objective reasoning or subjective reasoning.
Deductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning occurs when a
general idea is applied to a specific
example and a conclusion is reached.
What conclusions can you reach when
you discuss specific examples for these
general ideas?
Faulty Reasoning
Lines of symmetry on a square and rectangle.
Developing a Hypothesis
Offer two hypotheses for why the student's digital music player stopped
working.
Design and Conduct an
Experiment
Identify the manipulated
variable, the responding variable
and the other two variables in
this experiment. Think about a
hypothesis for this experiment.
Collecting and Interpreting Data
A data table helps you organize
the information you collect in an
experiment. Graphing the data
may reveal any patterns in your
data.
Drawing Conclusions
Sometimes the same experiment can have very different data.
