What is science?

Do we have to do a question of the day everyday? Why do we discuss? Why can't I just fill out worksheets from the book? How do we search for our answers?

This week should answer some of those questions. We ask what is science. The book says its the systematic study of all of nature. What does that mean?

What steps are involved in the systematic study of science?
When will we ever use this?

After this week's talks we should all know why this class runs in the steps it does each day. It's science. From the QotD problem and your hypothesis. To the research, experiments, and testing of those educated guesses. Wrapping up with your best final answer and conclusion.

Edit(9/10/10)
Here are some ideas that you have for science this year. Click the images or watch the videos for some more tips.


capture a caterpillar and watch it overtime to observe its process from a caterpillar to a butterfly



worm and fill a bucket up half way put a leaf in it then fill it up the rest of the way water the soil put the worm in and let it dig its way to the leaf



wander around outside one day and take nature photography, and each group picks what they think is their best picture, and they're printed out and posted on a board in the office or something like that, and everyone votes, and the picture with the most votes wins. And the people in the group get a Hershy bar because they won. =)



disect stuff in class because we could get a chance to learn about its vital organs and how a frog REALLY functions



go out and search for different kinds of clouds and weather paterns. We could take pictures of them and put them together on a poster and name what type of cloud it is or what weather pattern it is



What do you think? What other ideas do you have?

    ok so this is my final answer.

    What does systematic mean:

    What steps involved in the systematic study of science?

    Mathematics and Logical Science: this is not an experimental science.
    Physical Sciences: the study of the universe and its nature
    Life Science:investigate the organisms that live in a specific environment.
    Social Science: deals with groups that make up the human society.

  16. For the changing part in science we can capture a caterpillar and watch it overtime to observe its process from a caterpillar to a butterfly. For resources we can get a worm and fill a bucket up half way put a leaf in it then fill it up the rest of the way water the soil put the worm in and let it dig its way to the leaf.

D.I.S.E.C.T? Eh, whatever. yea, i think it would be really cool to disect stuff in class because we could get a chance to learn about its vital organs and how a frog REALLY functions. so i don't know about you Mr. Hoopman, but i think we should go for it. -Collin Krimmel. :D

  18. Alright this is my answer systematic is a organized thought or plan which is like after school go home, do homework, play outside, come in get ready for bed. Science is any systematic that is able of any prediction being right or wrong.

  19. We should split into partners, and one person in each partnership brings a camera, and we wander around outside one day and take nature photography, and each group picks what they think is their best picture, and they're printed out and posted on a board in the office or something like that, and everyone votes, and the picture with the most votes wins. And the people in the group get a Hershy bar because they won. =)

  29. I think that it would be very exicting to go out and search for different kinds of clouds and weather paterns. We could take pictures of them and put them together on a poster and name what type of cloud it is or what weather pattern it is.
