Scientific Reasoning

Scientific Theories & Laws

  • Scientific Theory

Scientific Theories & Laws

  • Scientific Law
  • Paradigm Shift

Results of Science

  • Tentative Results or frontier science: preliminary results

  • Reliable Results: developed using the scientific method, peer review, & widely accepted by scientific community

Results of Science

  • Unreliable Results: presented as reliable but without being reviewed or rejected through peer review

Science Focus: Global Warming

Science Focus: Global Warming

  • How much has the earth’s atmosphere warmed during the last 50 years?

  • How much of this warming is due to human activity?

  • How much is the atmosphere likely to warm in the future?

  • Will this affect climate?

Core Case Study

Core Case Study

  • What was the purpose of the experiment?

  • How did the scientists use the scientific method?

  • What were the major findings of the experiment?

Law of Conservation of Matter

Matter cannot be created or destroyed.

Matter

How do you think this relates to environmental issues?

Laws of Thermodynamics

First Law: energy can not be created or destroyed, only converted.

Energy

Second Law: when energy changes from one form to another, we always end up with lower-quality of energy.
