Science Notes for 10-1-14

Science, Technology and Attitudes

Science and Technology

In science, a concept is tested, and if it is valid forms a theory/explanation of a phenomenon. While in technology, science is applied so as to help us in various task in everyday life, for example, a washing machine, removing the need to hand wash clothes.

In a time long past:

Machines such as clay and styluses were used to carve out clay tablets

In the not so distant past:

Ink and paper were used to create books

In the unlikely future:

The internet, computers and tablets will be used to replace books when they are combined to make e-books

Attitudes in science (according to Mr Tan)

1. Humility-modifying views in the face of new ideas
2. Respect for ideas-Respect for the ideas of other (no plagiarism)
3. (Healthy)Skepticism
4. Seek objectivity
5. Passion
6. Disposition not to jump to conclusions

Extra: Integrity, willing to try and have a flexible mind

Science Process Skills

-Inferential

-Observational

-Practical Experiment

-Hypothesis Testing

-Fair Test (*3)= Reliability

To be continued.....

Anyone wants to go to CCA trials with me? And when are we collecting the money? Lemme know so I can bring the appro amt on appro date
