1)Why can't we use science to tell whether we should use a weapon or clone an animal? Explain.
2)What are the levels of Scientific Knowledge from the Lowest to the Highest?
3)What are the 5 steps of the scientific method ? Explain what EACH one is.
4)What was one of the real examples of the scientific method we covered in class? (hint: spider, comet)
5)Why do we call the metric system the “SI” system in Science?
6)The Metric System is based on the meter and what other thing? Why does that make metric easier to understand?
7)What are 3 base units we use for Length, Volume, and Mass? How do you represent them with initials? Which one is capitalized?
8)
25 km = cm
800mg = g
12500 mL = L
358mm = m
76kg = g
20L = ml
9)Metric is based on universal constants (things you can measure) rather than examples (a person’s hand or food or a grain of rice). Why is this a good thing? Why is it important for Science too?
10)What did these folks do wrong?
Belinda and Suzy are working with Bob in the lab today. They decide to play a trick on him. They tell him that even though it isn’t written down, the teacher said that when they are done with today’s experiment, they should drink the solution because it tastes just like Dr.Pepper. Bob believes them (Belinda is very cute, after all) and makes a moveto pick up his still steaming beaker. Name at least two things that these three should improve on.
