Dear loving Father, Prayer

Thank you for waking us up this morning,
Thank you for your love and care,
Thank you for everything you have freely given us
in this life.
As we set to go and perform the tasks you have
blessed us to do,
We thank you for protecting us from anything that
may come our way.
Thank you for your grace that will keep us through
this day, and may we be a blessing to others.
In Jesus’ name, we pray and believe.

SCIENCE
• It relies on evidence from the natural world
and this evidence is examined and interpreted
through logic.
• Creative flexibility is essential to scientific
thinking; however, science follows a process
guided by certain parameters.
• Science is embedded within the culture of its
times. Understanding how science works
allows one to easily distinguish science from
non-science.

SCIENCE AS A PROCESS

• Scientific ideas are developed through reasoning.

• Scientific claims are based on testing explanations
against observations of the natural world and
rejecting the ones that fail the test.
• Scientific claims are subject to peer review and
replication.

Scientific Method
• The scientific method has five basic
steps, plus one feedback step:
1. Make an observation
2. Ask a question.
3. Form a hypothesis, or testable
explanation.
4. Make a prediction based on the
hypothesis.
5. Test the prediction. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-

Is it a fix Method?
• Most scientific thinking, whether
done while jogging, in the shower,
in a lab, or while excavating a fossil,
involves continuous observations,
questions, multiple hypotheses,
and more observations.
• It seldom "concludes" and never
"proves."

Scientific Inquiry
• is a thoughtful and coordinated
attempt to search out, describe,
explain and predict natural phenomena.
• progresses through a continuous process of
questioning, data collection, analysis and
interpretation.
• requires the sharing of findings and ideas for
critical review by colleagues and other scientists.

Division of Sciences
• The natural taxonomy of the empirical sciences
would break the sciences down into three basic
groups:
• the physical sciences (physics, astronomy,
chemistry, geology, metallurgy),
• the biological sciences (zoology, botany, genetics,
paleontology, molecular biology, physiology), and
• the psychological sciences (psychology, sociology,
anthropology, maybe economics).
