Exploration: Entering The World Of Secondary Science
How scientists really work: models that simplify, exact words and units, laws and theories, predictions, and quick estimates.
Sprint 1
Scientific Models: Why Scientists Simplify
Why a good model leaves out details on purpose, with examples from the stars and a cricket shot.
Sprint 2
The Language Of Science: Words, Symbols And Units
Why science needs exact words, shared symbols and standard units, and what happens when units get mixed up.
Sprint 3
Laws, Theories And Predictions
The difference between a law, a theory and a principle, and why a failed prediction makes science stronger.
Sprint 4
Estimating, And Science Without Borders
How rough estimates check whether an answer makes sense, and why real problems need several branches of science.
Sprint 5
Review: Entering Secondary Science
Check the key ideas: models, scientific language, laws and theories, and estimation.
