Biology Flashcards
1.1.1 I can state the goals of science
To prove natural explanations for events in the natural world they use these events to understand patterns in nature and to make predictions about natural events.
Bio.1.1.2 I can differentiate between historical and observational science and explain the importance of this difference.
Historical science is evidence from the pass ( perceptions) observational science is an explanation of past events and evidence from the past It’s also to understand how nature commonly behave
1.2.1 I can relate the generation of new ideas to scientific attitudes
Open-mindedness skepticism creativity and curiosity
1.2.2 I can describe the importance of peer review
This allows researchers to share ideas and to make sure the work is right (use bias)
1.2.3 I can explain what a scientific theory is
theory (well tested) explanation that ties lots of observations and hypotheses that allows scientist to make right predictions
1.3.4 I can justify the importance of a universal system of measurement
they use this when getting data they use this one because the metric system is made up of ten’s so when they are using bigger numbers that helps then more then anything (it’s so everyone is doing the measuring the same way)
