Scientific Method-Scientific Method- ObservationObservation Stating a QuestionStating a Question Hypothesis – possible answerHypothesis – possible answer ExperimentExperiment Conclusion – what you found in your Conclusion – what you found in your
experiment experiment
Scientific method leads to Scientific method leads to Natural LawNatural Law – Tells you how nature – Tells you how nature
behaves but not why it behaves.behaves but not why it behaves. Finally you form a Finally you form a TheoryTheory – Explains why nature behaves – Explains why nature behaves

Measurement…Measurement… When we perform When we perform
experiments, we need to use experiments, we need to use some form of measurement.some form of measurement.
Metric System – International Metric System – International set of units (SI)set of units (SI)
Base units-Base units- Mass = kilogram (kg)Mass = kilogram (kg) Length = meter (m)Length = meter (m) Time = seconds (s)Time = seconds (s) Count, quantity = mole (mol)Count, quantity = mole (mol) Temperature = Kelvin (K)Temperature = Kelvin (K) Electric Current = ampere (A)Electric Current = ampere (A) Luminous intensity = candela (cd)Luminous intensity = candela (cd)
Derived Units – made from Derived Units – made from combining 2 or more base units. combining 2 or more base units.
Ex. Area = length x width = Ex. Area = length x width = mm22
Volume = length x width Volume = length x width x x height = cmheight = cm33
Density = mass / volume Density = mass / volume = = g/cmg/cm33
Exceptions to SI units… Exceptions to SI units… Volume = liter (L)Volume = liter (L) Pressure = atmosphere Pressure = atmosphere
millimeter millimeter of Hg (atm mm Hg)of Hg (atm mm Hg) Aka PascalAka Pascal Temperature = Celsius degree Temperature = Celsius degree
(C(Coo)) Energy = Calorie (cal)Energy = Calorie (cal)
Reliability in MeasurementReliability in Measurement Accuracy vs. Precision Accuracy vs. Precision PrecisionPrecision – Measurement that – Measurement that
gives the same result again and gives the same result again and again under the same conditionsagain under the same conditions
AccuracyAccuracy – Measurement that – Measurement that is close to the accepted value.is close to the accepted value.
Significant Digits – Defined as Significant Digits – Defined as certain digits and the estimated digit certain digits and the estimated digit of a measurement. of a measurement.

Addition and SubtractionAddition and Subtraction The number of significant digits The number of significant digits
is dependent upon or rounded off is dependent upon or rounded off to the measurement with the to the measurement with the largest uncertainty. ***Use the largest uncertainty. ***Use the least amount of decimal spots***least amount of decimal spots***
Ex. 6.45 + 2.36 + 4.6 = Ex. 6.45 + 2.36 + 4.6 = 13.41 rounded to 13.4 13.41 rounded to 13.4
