| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what does the study of science today branch into? | the study of the life sciences and the physical sciences |
| the study of nature of things such as motion, forces, energy, matter, heat, sound, light, and the composition of atoms | physics |
| the study of how matter is put together, how atoms combine to form molecules, and how the molecules combine to make up matter | chemistry |
| the study of matter that is alive | biology |
| what are equations? | a way to express relationships between concepts |
| who are the scientists credited for founding the scientific method | galileo and bacon |
| what are the steps of the scientific method? | recognize a problem, make an educated guess about a possible answer,predict consequences of the hypothesis, perform experiment to test prediction, formulate the simplest general rule that organizes the main ingredients of hypothesis,prediction,exp.outcome |
