Science

• What is science described as in Chapter 1?

  Science is a product, a process, a way of thinking, and a community endeavor.
• What does the term "Trial and Error" refer to in the context of science?

  Trial and Error is an essential method in solving problems that is tentative and subject to change as new evidence is generated.
• How is science defined as a product?

  Science as a product is a systematized body of knowledge gained through the accumulation of facts, concepts, theories, and laws.
• What does science focus on according to the study material?

  Science focuses on the natural world and not on supernatural phenomena.
• How is science described as a process?

  Science as a process is a way of learning about the natural world involving basic and integrated science process skills.
• What are the basic science process skills?

  1. Observing
  2. Inferring
  3. Measuring
  4. Classifying
  5. Communicating
  6. Predicting
• What does observing involve in basic science process skills?


  Observing involves gathering information about objects or phenomena using the senses.
• What is inferring in the context of basic science process skills?

  Inferring is providing a logical interpretation of or explanation to an observation based on prior knowledge and experience.
• How is measuring defined in basic science process skills?

  Measuring is describing objects or events using both standard and nonstandard measures or estimates.
• What does classifying involve in basic science process skills?


  Classifying involves grouping or categorizing objects or events based on a pattern of evidence.
• What is the purpose of communicating in basic science process skills?


  Communicating is reporting the results of observations or experiments using words or graphs.
• What does predicting entail in basic science process skills?

  Predicting involves projecting events based on a pattern of evidence.
• What are the integrated science process skills?

  1. Identifying and controlling variables
  2. Defining operationally
  3. Formulating a hypothesis
  4. Interpreting data
  5. Experimenting
• What does identifying and controlling variables involve?

  It involves naming the factors that can affect the outcome of an experiment and manipulating only one factor at a time while other factors are held constant.
• How is defining operationally described in integrated science process skills?

  Defining operationally means creating a definition by describing what is done and observed.
• What does formulating a hypothesis involve?

  Formulating a hypothesis involves making an educated guess or proposing a solution based on evidence that can be tested through experimentation.
• What is science described as in Chapter 1?

  Science is a product, a process, a way of thinking, and a community endeavor.
• What is the purpose of interpreting data in integrated science process skills?

  Interpreting data involves analyzing the results of an investigation and making sense of information.
• What does the term "Trial and Error" refer to in the context of science?

  Trial and Error is an essential method in solving problems that is tentative and subject to change as new evidence is generated.
• What does experimenting entail in integrated science process skills?


  Experimenting involves carrying out an investigation to test whether its hypothesis is true or false.
• How is science defined as a product?

  Science as a product is a systematized body of knowledge gained through facts, concepts, theories, laws, and advancements in technology.
• What is the focus of science as a product?

  Science as a product focuses on the natural world and not on supernatural phenomena.
