Science

A systematized body of knowledge acquired through research

PHYSICAL SCIENCE, BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE

Branches of Science

Physical Science

Study of nature and properties of the universe and all its contents

Biological Science

Study of living organisms and life itself

Social science

Study of humans as individuals, the human society and human interactions

Scientific Method

Systematic method of acquiring knowledge

Making the observationsStating the problemForming the hypothesisTesting the hypothesisConclusion

Steps of the scientific method

Making observations

Make an observation using one's senses

Stating the problem

Step of the scientific method. Musy be clear and specific, measurable, have an attainable solution, question form

Hypothesis

A tentative solution or prediction of the outcome. Clear and specific

Twsting the hypothesis

Implement the hypothesis under carefully considered conditions. Collect all necessary information related to the problem that may help you achieve your goal

Conclusion

Step in the scientific method. Results must be analyzed for validity , final answer to problem, always true based on analysis

Inductive Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning

2 Kinds of reasoning

Inductive Reasoning

Conclusion is made based on repeated observation, basis of experimental conclusions

Deductive Reasoning

A conclusion is made based on established principles and concepts. Basus of most research conclusion

Significant figures

Digits in a number that are considered important

All nonzero digits are importantFinal zeroes in the decimal place is significantAll zeroes in between significant figures are significantPlace holders are zeroes that are not considered significant

4 Rules on determining significant figures




Scientific Notation

A shorthand representation of numbers using powers of 10

Move decimal point to obtain a number( 10>x>= 1)Write x10 afterCount number of places the decimal point was moved starting from its original position and use the number as the power of 10(exponent)If decimal point was moves to the left its positive, to the right its negative.

5 steps Standard to scientific




Rounding off

A method of reducing the digits in a number while keeping its value similar

1. Less than 5, retain2. Greater or equal to 5. Add 1 to the digit being rounded off and replace all digits on its right with 0

Rules in rounding off


Equations

Representation of the relationship between quantities

Direct relationship

Variables changes with same proportion

Inverse relationship

Variables changes with inverse proportion

Power

Variable changes same but raised to the power n

Inverse power

Variables changes with inverse proportion but raised to the power n

Fundamental quantities

Physical quantities that can be determined by using measuring devices

LengthMassTimeTempAmount of substanceElectric currentLuminous intensity

7 fundamental quantity








Length

Distance between two points. Unit is meter

Mass

Amount of matter present in a substance. Unit is kg

Time

Temporal duration between two events unit is second

Temperature

Degree of heat present in a substance or object. Unit is kelvin

Amount of substance

Measures the size of an ensemble of entities. Unit is mole

Electric current

Rate at which charge flows through a surface. Unit ampere

Luminous intensity

Rate of flow of light. Unit is candela

Derived quantities

Physical quanuties that can be determined by calculating using fundamental quantities

Measurement

Standard unit to express size, amount, or degree of something

English systemMetric system

2 systems of measurement


English system

Evolved from the medieval systems of measurements. Ex. Foot, pound, rankine

Metric system

Based on the multiples of 10 except for time. Ex meter gram second kelvin

Conversion of units

Multiply the given measurement by a conversion factor to get desired measurement

Conversion factor

Ratio of two measurement with diff units that is equal to 1

Celsius and Fahrenheit

Units of temperature that are used in diff measuring devices and have different scales
