- control and experimental set ups

GEN SCIENCE must be used for comparison of


results
BRANCHES OF SCIENCE - independent varirables - factors
that are not affected by other
a. Physical Sciences variables; usually predetermined
- study of nature and properties of - dependent variables - factors that
the universe and all its contents are affected by other variables
Astronomy - controlled variables - factors that
Chemistry are kept the same for all set ups
Geology - manipulated variables - factor that
Meteorology is different in each set up; usually
Physics the variable under study
b. Biological Sciences 5. Conclusion
- study of living organisms and life - results may be analyzed for validity
itself - final answer to the problem
Botany - should always be true based on
Sociology analysis
c. Social Sciences
- study of humans as individuals, the KINDS OF REASONING
human society and human a. Inductive Reasoning - a
interactions conclusion is made based on
Psychology repeated observations ; basis of
Sociology most research conclusions
b. Deductive Reasoning - a
SCIENTIFIC METHOD conclusion is made based on
established principles and
1. Making Observations concepts; basis of most research
- make an observatio using one’s conclusions
senses
2. Stating the problem MEASUREMENTS AND QUANTITIES
- must be clear and specific
- must be measurable and have an Scientific Notation
atainable solution - a shorthand representation of
- usually stated in question form numbers using powers of 10
3. Forming the hypothesis STANDARD TO SCIENTIFIC
- Hypothesis is a tentative solution or
a prediction of the outcome FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITIES
- must be a clear and specific - physical quantities that can be
statement determined using measuring
4. Testing the Hypothesis devices
- implement the hypothesis under Length - distance between two points
carefully considered conditions
Mass - amount of matter present in a
substance
Time - temporal duration between two
events
Temperature - degree of heat present
in a substance or object
Amount of substance - measure the
size of an ensemble of entities
Electric current - the rate at
whichcharge flows through a surface
Luminous Intensity - rate of flow of
light

Measurement - standard unit to


express the size, amount, or degree of
something

Systems of Measurement:
a. English System - evolved from
medieval systems of measurement
b. Metric System - based on
multiples of 10, except for time
