“SWBAT = “Students will be able to”
If you are waiting for Mr. Barnes to take roll and/or sign everyone in to class, please prepare yourself for the lesson by reading the following and taking notes:
pp 22 – 25“The Scientifc Method” and“Collaboration and Communication”
Click this button if you’re in a NORMAL
chemistry section.
Click this button if you’re in an HONORS
chemistry section
If you’re in HONORS Chemistry, we only have one day to do the scientific method.
Therefore, once you’ve read the section in the textbook on the Scientific Method, we need to go straight to the oral quiz stage.
Click this button if you’re in an HONORS
chemistry section and it’s time to jump to the oral quiz.
EXPERIMENT
Because the hypothesis has to be tested by an experiment, a hypothesis is no good if it’s not testable.
May 29, 1919
HYPOTHESISTHEORY
Did Sir Arthur Eddington or Albert Einstein have any control over the eclipse that happened that day?

“Correlation does not imply causation.”
EXAMPLE: You may only get a fever when you’re sick, but that doesn’t mean that the fever is causing your sickness. In fact, the fever is one of your body’s tools for making you get better.
(but it may hint at it)
EXAMPLE: Studies have shown that women who undergo hormone replacement therapy have lower coronary heart disease rates than those who don’t.
“Correlation does not imply causation.”
EXAMPLE: Certain epidemiological studies have shown that women who undergo hormone replacement therapy have lower coronary heart disease rates than those who don’t.
BUT: Further randomized studies actually showed that HRT correlated with an increase in coronary heart disease.
Wait, what? It turned out that women who get HRT tend to be from higher socio-economic groups. Those women, being more educated than normal, having more free time than normal, and having more money, eat more sensible diets, exercise more, etc.. It’s exercise and diet that reduce HRT.
I need to make sure that everybody learned the most important stuff in the lesson.
“Did you get it” questions are a stage in my lessons where I check for understanding.
During “Did you get it” questions, please do not shout out the answers.
“Did you get it” questions are an oral quiz that directly affects your class participation grade.
Don’t answer unless you are called on.
If you are called on, try your hardest to get the right answer. Don’t just give up. At least guess.

Q: What is the main difference between a hypothesis and a theory?A: A hypothesis has not yet been tested. To become a theory, a hypothesis must survive repeated experimentation.
Q: What is the difference between a law and a theory?A: A law is merely a statement of what happens. A theory tries to explain why things happen the way they do.
Q: Doctor Philomena Jenkins says, “If I pour water on the sidewalk, a magical fairy will suddenly appear.” Is this a good hypothesis or not? Why?
A: The fairy probably won’t appear, but she can always TEST her idea by actually pouring some water on the sidewalk, so, even though it sounds crazy, it’s still a good hypothesis.
Take a minute to write down, on your notes, what you THINK the answer to the upcoming question is.
When the minute is up, PAIR up with the person sitting next to you and discuss your answers.
After you’ve had a minute to talk it over with your partner, your teacher will call for silence and ask a random person to SHARE what he/she and his/her partner talked about.
Okay. Here comes the question . . .
Q: Why is it dangerous to say that experiments “prove” hypotheses, laws, and theories?
