REMEMBER
Laws are not theories. Laws tell you only what happens, not why it happens.
For example: the Law of Gravity will tell you that objects will fall, but not
tell you why they fall.
Chapter 1: The World of Physical Science
15. List the two activities that are basic to most science.
Making observations & asking questions
18. Define energy. Give two examples of things that have energy according
to the text.
Energy is the ability to do work. Some examples of things that have
energy are anything that is moving, like a cheetah, or food.
19. Physical science is usually divided into two categories: chemistry and
physics.
17. What is data? Why do we organize data into into tables and graphs?
Data is any piece of information we gather through observations and
experiments. We organize data because it is easier to see and understand
when it is organized into graphs.
18. After you collect and record your data, explain what you should do with
it and why.
After collecting the data, you must analyze the results and find out if the
results of the test support the hypothesis.
20. What are some ways that you can communicate the results of your
investigation?
Some ways you can communicate results are by writing a scientific paper,
making a presentation, or creating a website.
Section 3: Scientific Models
20. Models can be used to help illustrate and explain scientific theories.
REMEMBER
Laws are not theories. Laws tell you only what happens, not why it happens.
For example: the Law of Gravity will tell you that objects will fall, but not
tell you why they fall.
