What is Science?
a way of thinking
Method of investigating the natural world in a systematic matter
confusion
The opposite of math
3
What might be the claim from this experiment?
After 2 hours species A has 8 cells and Species B has 65 cells.
Species A replicates faster than Species B.
Species B has a faster metabolism, therefore, Species B replicates faster.
Species B replicates faster than Species A.
4
What would be considered reasoning?
Species B has a faster metabolism, therefore, Species B replicates faster.
Species A replicates faster than Species B.
Species B replicates faster than Species A.
After 2 hours species A has 8 cells and Species B has 65 cells.

13
What would be considered evidence?
Species A replicates faster than Species B.
After 2 hours species A has 8 cells and Species B has 65 cells.
Species B replicates faster than Species A.
Species B has a faster metabolism, therefore, Species B replicates faster.
