Matching. Write the word or term from the list of key terms that best matches each of the phrases below.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD 1. A logical approach to the solution of a problem.

LAW 2. A statement describing the general truth or the behavior in nature.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 3. It deals with separation, identification and composition of materials.

HYPOTHESIS 4. A temporary working explanation.

DATA 5. It includes all experimental results.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 6. It is concerned with the study of compounds containing carbon.

PHLOGISTON THEORY 7. A theory of combustion.

COMBUSTION 8. It is commonly known as the burning process.

BIOCHEMISTRY 9. It deals with the study of compounds in living things.

THEORY 10. It is a broadly-based, widely applicable hypothesis supported by at least

some experimental evidence.

ALCHEMY 11. It is concerned with the transmutation of one element into another.

EXPERIMENT 12. A sequence of observation carried out under controlled conditions.

1. It deals with the relationships in nature.

2. It involves the study of physical characteristics of materials and the mechanism of their reactions.
3. It something that needs a solution or an answer.
4. It is often used by chemists to help them understand the behavior of matter.

B. Content Review: Check your understanding of the basic ideas we’ve covered in the first module.
Mark each statement either T for true or F for false.

1. To be valuable scientifically, an observation must be repeatable.

2. Once a scientific theory has been supported by evidence, it can be considered the last word on the
subject.
3. In the scientific method, a hypothesis is the same as guess.
 4. The steps in scientific process are problem definition, observation, formulation of hypothesis,
experimentation, and theory formulation.
5. Through scientific method, a complex problem is broken is broken down to simpler ones.
6. Scientific method can be used in making decisions concerning everyday activities.
7. Nuclear chemistry also deals with what kind of substance is present and how much of that
substance is present.
8. Biochemistry deals with the study of living things.
9. The kinetic theory of gases is an example of a scientific law.
