The Process of Science



- Definition:

- A way of understanding natural phenomena using testable explanations. It is a constant search for
better explanations through questioning, observation, and experimentation.



Key Concepts



- Observation:

- Any information gathered by at least one of your senses.



- Inference:

- An assumption based on observations and past experiences.



- Data:

- Observations and measurements collected during investigations and experiments.



- Evidence:

- The product of data analysis and interpretation; supports conclusions.



- Fact:

- An observation confirmed repeatedly by many critical observers.



- Theory:

- Powerful explanations for a wide range of phenomena. Accepted theories must survive rigorous
testing and be supported by multiple lines of evidence.



- Hypothesis:

, - A tentative, testable explanation for a narrow set of phenomena.



- Prediction:

- The expected outcome based on the hypothesis.



Criteria to Identify Science

1. Consistency:

- Results of repeated observations/experiments are reasonably the same.



2. Natural:

- A natural cause must explain why or how an event occurs.



3. Observable:

- The event can be observed and explained.



4. Predictable:

- The natural cause can make specific predictions that can be tested.



5. Testability:

- The phenomenon can be tested and potentially falsified.



6. Tentative:

- Scientific knowledge is subject to change based on new evidence.



Nature of Science



- Non-Linear Process:

- Science is complex and iterative, involving constant problem-solving and revision of predictions. No
single scientific method is universally followed.
