Chemistry as a Science Flashcards
Week 1
Compounds of carbon, life,
human body, plant, proteins,
carbohydrates.
Organic
Compound in periodic table, non-life, minerals
Inorganic.
Systematized body of knowledge based on nature and the facts of life gathered through keen observation (research) and experimentation. A process by which knowledge is produced.
Science
- Used to solve problems.
- Way we do research
- Make observations of nature.
- Derive a hypothesis or build a
model in response to observations. - Construct experiments to bolster or refute hypotheses or models.
The Scientific Method
Scientific Method
- Question
- Hypotheses
- Experiment
- Data
- Analyze
- Report
Pick something your curious about
Question
Educated/Intelligent Guess
Hypothesis
Plan to test hypotheses, observations, see if it’s right or wrong
Experiment
record of experimental results
Data
review data and draw a conclusion
Analyze
Explain results and analysis to determine if hypothesis is right or wrong
Report
systematic approach to research
Scientific Method
Tentative Explanation for a set of observations (tentative answer). It is tested then modified in repeat
Hypothesis
Facts, Concepts, Theories and
Laws
Scientific Products
chemical or chemist laws like
laws in physics (Been proven in
most cases/true in cases.)
Scientific Laws
a concise statement of a relationship between phenomena that is always the same under the same conditions. (it is possible to break the law)
Law
is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and/or those laws that are based on them (can change). Is not proven
Theory
Forms when iron is exposed to oxygen
Rust
Rust is
Ferric (Iron) Oxide (Fe203)
does not rust but will turn brownish/yellowish overtime
Aluminum (oxide)
Application of Science
Technology
- Involves agriculture, tissue
culture, food production, health
and the environment, industrial
processes and genetic
engineering. - Taking care of the environment.
- Genes, DNA
- Living things
Biotechnology
- This includes chemical and industrial processes, mechanical systems, manufacturing and transportation.
- Chemical, and industrial processess
- machines
Process Technology
- Involves the design and production of simple circuits, robotics control systems, and electronic devices
- Robotics, computers
- Rapidly changing
Electronic Control/Technology
- involves the use and development of materials to achieve a desired result like
construction, preservation and recycling of materials. - Improvements of different materials
- Production of new materials and products
