The driving force behind scientific investigations

Science, the domain is broken into multiple classifications based on what is being studied

Life sciences- ecology, biology, marine biology, microbiology (just to name a few)

Problem Solving Critical Thinking

Organizing thoughts to solve a problem

Systematical manner

Separate unimportant information from the important information

Think About Ex. Your cell phone is

Science is not ALWAYS SO ORDELY

Science is not conducted in a straight forward manner, which is commonly taught as the scientific method.

Question: Turtle eggs Develop a testable question

Predict the outcome Design an experiment

Does the temperature of an egg affect if the turtle is male or female?

Hypothesis: Turtle eggs develop into male turtles in cold temperature and into female turtles in warm temperature.

Design an experiment to show if the hypothesis is correct

25 eggs are gathered, 4 batch60 days

26C: 21 male, 2 female 28C: 13 male, 12 female 30C: 1 male, 19 female 32C: 1 male, 20 female
