What did we learn about Science and Engineering?

What is science?

• study of the natural world

• Apply/use science and math to solve problems, design and/or build new products and processes

• Tools, processes or systems designed to solve problem or do work

• using your five senses

The scientific method...

• uses observations and collects data to determine a solution.

• asks a question, conducts a test, collect data, analyze the data and draw a conclusion.

• makes an educated guess and tests it.

• is the way of science.

How many variables can you change in an experiment?

• as many as you want

• three

• what you want to test

• one

The engineering design process is...

• making new stuff, testing it and making it better

• identify the problem/need; define the criteria and constraints; test it; iterate (if necessary) and create a solution

• make criteria and constraints, find a solution

• make a design and test it out

In the outdoor classroom we collected qualitative and quantitative. What is the difference?

• Quantitative data is an observation includes a measurement or number. Qualitative data is an observation that uses the five senses.

• Quantitative data is part of a series of numbers. Qualitative data is any words.

• Quantitative data is data collected multiple times. Qualitative data is data that is of high quality.
