Standard Notes/ Types of Questions Students will evaluate the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science. Throughout class, an emphasis has been placed on individual integrity as opposed to “getting the grade.” SCSh1c. Explain that further understanding of scientific problems relies on the design and execution of new experiments which may reinforce or weaken opposing explanations. Theories that have been tested and revised based on new developments in technology and procedures include: ?Newtonian mechanics was found to not be applicable under all conditions, like extremely small particles – protons, electrons, photons. Work by DeBroglie, Planck, Einstein, Heisenberg, Compton contributed to quantum mechanics. SCSh3a. Suggest reasonable hypotheses for identified problems. For each lab, you have been given time to suggest a hypothesis, or predict what will happen. SCSh3b. Develop procedures for solving scientific problems. Many of your labs have been “inquiry” based. In other words, you have not been given explicit instructions. You have had to figure out how to test variables and overcome obstacles. SCSh3c. Collect, organize and record appropriate data. In labs and in written work, you have organized your data and given information into tables or noted in some fashion. SCSh3d. Graphically compare and analyze data points and/or summary statistics. You have constructed graphs – noting the dependent variable, independent variable, slope, best-fit line, direct or indirect variations. SCSh4a. Develop and use systematic procedures for recording and organizing information. In labs and in written work, you have organized your data and given information into tables or noted in some fashion. SCSh5b. Consider possible effects of measurement errors on calculations. In labs, you have looked at systemic and random errors. SCSh5d. Express appropriate numbers of significant figures for calculated data, using scientific notation where appropriate.
