Module 1; Lesson 1: What is Chemistry

What is the best description of a hypothesis?

• A question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.

• What you perceive with your senses.

• An educated prediction to the answer of a stated problem, based on research and prior knowledge.

• An experiment set up to observe and collect data on how something happens, or to test the hypothesis.

What best describes the difference between organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry?

• Organic chemistry is the study of matter that does not contain chemicals, and inorganic chemistry is the study of matter that does contain chemicals.

• Organic chemistry is the study of chemicals that contain oxygen, and inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that do not contain oxygen.

• Organic chemistry is the study of chemicals that contain carbon, and inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that do not contain carbon.

• Organic chemistry is the study of the natural universe, and inorganic chemistry is the study of man-made materials.

Biochemistry is the study of...

• magic.

• the types of animals, plants, and microbes in a biome.

• earth, wind, and fire.

• chemical processes that occur in living things.

What is a hypothesis?

• A basic statement established by experiment or observation

• An educated guess that predicts the outcome of your experiment

• a comprehensive explanation that is supported by facts gathered over time.

• Rules for how nature will behave under certain conditions, frequently written as an equation.

• A statement that is not scientifically provable
