Chapter 1 Notes, Science:  Scientific notation: 0.00003m -> 3 x 10^-5 (if you move the decimal point behind the three you have moved it 5 times, and because you went to the right it is considered to be moved -5 spots.)  Science: o How things work o explain what happens or what it is in terms of fundamental principles or ideas o describes what is observed in the natural world  2 Kinds of reasoning: 1. Deduction: starting from some hypothesis (starting ideas), you make “predictions” about what should be observed 2. Induction: starting with some observations, you can eventually produce an explanation (hypothesis) for it.  “Cycle of Science” o data -> induction -> hypothesis -> deduction -> prediction -> experiment -> new data o you start with some data, which you then go through the induction processes of making some observations, which helps to get a hypothesis, and then you go through the deduction process after you have a hypothesis, then you start making some predictions based on what you observed, then you have an experiment, and start over again.  Hypothesis: tentative conjecture (opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information)  Theory: a consistent set of definitions, data, or well tested hypothesis that can explain some aspects of the natural world.  3 things we look for in a scientific hypoth
