1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist In 1928, Alexander Fleming noticed that bacteria he was studying did not grow in the presence of a yellow-green mold. In 1945, Fleming shared a Nobel Prize for Medicine with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, who led the team that isolated penicillin. Slide 2 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Alchemy Alchemists developed processes for separating mixtures and purifying chemicals. They designed equipment that is still in use today including beakers, flasks, tongs, funnels, and the mortar and pestle. Mortar and Pestle © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 5 of 25

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > An Experimental Approach to Science How did Lavoisier help to transform chemistry? Slide 6 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > An Experimental Approach to Science Lavoisier helped

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > An Experimental Approach to Science Lavoisier helped to transform chemistry from a science of observation to the science of measurement that it is today. Slide 7 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > An Experimental Approach to Science Lavoisier designed a balance that could measure mass to the nearest 0. 0005 gram. He also showed that oxygen is required for a material to burn. Reconstruction of Lavoisier’s Laboratory Slide 8 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method What are the steps in the scientific method? Slide 9 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method The scientific method is

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method The scientific method is a logical, systematic approach to the solution of a scientific problem. Steps in the scientific method include making observations, testing hypotheses, and developing theories. Slide 10 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Making Observations When you

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Making Observations When you use your senses to obtain information, you make an observation. Suppose you try to turn on a flashlight and it does not light. An observation can lead to a question: What’s wrong with the flashlight? Slide 11 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Testing Hypotheses A hypothesis

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Testing Hypotheses A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observation. You guess that the flashlight needs new batteries. You can test your hypothesis by putting new batteries in the flashlight. If the flashlights, you can be fairly certain that your hypothesis is true. Slide 12 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method An experiment is a

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method An experiment is a procedure that is used to test a hypothesis. When you design experiments, you deal with variables, or factors that can change. • The variable that you change during an experiment is the manipulated variable, or independent variable. • The variable that is observed during the experiment is the responding variable, or dependent variable.

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Developing Theories Once a hypothesis meets the test of repeated experimentation, it may become a theory. • A theory is a well-tested explanation for a broad set of observations. • A theory may need to be changed at some point in the future to explain new observations or experimental results.

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Scientific Laws A scientific

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > The Scientific Method Scientific Laws A scientific law is a concise statement that summarizes the results of many observations and experiments. A scientific law doesn’t try to explain the relationship it describes. That explanation requires a theory. Slide 15 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication What role do collaboration and communication play in science? Slide 17 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication No matter how talented

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication No matter how talented the players on a team, one player cannot ensure victory for the team. Individuals must collaborate, or work together, for the good of the team. When scientists collaborate and communicate, they increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Collaboration Scientists choose to

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Collaboration Scientists choose to collaborate for different reasons. • Some research problems are so complex that no one person could have all of the knowledge, skills, and resources to solve the problem. • Scientists might conduct research for an industry in exchange for equipment and the time to do the research.

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Collaboration isn’t always a

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Collaboration isn’t always a smooth process. You will likely work on a team in the laboratory. If so, you may face some challenges. But you can also experience the benefits of collaboration. Slide 20 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Scientists communicate face to

1. 3 Thinking Like a Scientist > Collaboration and Communication Scientists communicate face to face, by e-mail, by phone, and at international conferences. Scientists publish their results in scientific journals. Articles are published only after being reviewed by experts in the author’s field. Slide 21 of 25 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
