Document Summary
Science vs. forensic science: systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation, a systematically organized body of knowledge particular subject. Why do we trust science: extensive research, system of discovery through experimentation, continuously progressing and adding information. A. in science a theory is an explanation: explains observations that are gathered during the scienti c process, repeatedly con rmed through experimentation. !2: predictions, using your hypothesis you create predictions about the system, statements that are testable. 3. if/then statements: experiments, develop and conduct an experiment to test your predictions. 2. results can support or disprove your original hypothesis: control: the subject that does not undergo the change to the experimental variable, conclusions, based on your experiment you interpret your data, assess if predictions were correct or incorrect. 3. for a hypothesis to be supported, all predictions must be correct: report, communicate your ndings to others, written articles/reports, oral reports/presentations.
