Shapero Hall
• Inside buildingo I didn’t see any food or beverage machines
when I looked (including basement). The Student Center is fairly close, and there are probably some in the dorms nearby.
o Lots of bathrooms.o Take care of your own trash! We are guests
here, and I will not allow individual conduct to get us kicked out.

Scientific Theories
Components of science
• Data or observations.o If data from different scientists disagree,
discrepancy must be checked and resolvedo Cannot depend on beliefs or preferences – such
effects must be checked and resolvedo Often gathered based on a theoretical picture,
but data stand even if picture fails
![Page 14: 1/11/05Atoms and Stars, January 121 Atoms and Stars IST 2420 and IST 1990 Fall 2005 Section 001 Instructor: David Bowen](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f295503460f94c41ff8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Your own views
• You are allowed to disagree with the claims and opinions presented in the materials and classes.
• However, you are not allowed to ignore them. Also, you need to be able to state the basis for your disagreement.
![Page 15: 1/11/05Atoms and Stars, January 121 Atoms and Stars IST 2420 and IST 1990 Fall 2005 Section 001 Instructor: David Bowen](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f295503460f94c41ff8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1/11/05 Atoms and Stars, January 12 15
Scientific Theories (continued)
Components of science
• Empirical formulao Accurately reproduces data but without
explanatory power
• Hypothesiso A preliminary or interim theory that explains
some data but has not yet been fully tested or accepted
![Page 16: 1/11/05Atoms and Stars, January 121 Atoms and Stars IST 2420 and IST 1990 Fall 2005 Section 001 Instructor: David Bowen](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f295503460f94c41ff8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1/11/05 Atoms and Stars, January 12 16
Scientific Theories (continued)Components of science
• Theory or Lawo Widely or universally accepted, accurately
explains or reproduces all or most datao (Almost) all implications have been testedo Points to new experiments which have been
completed and are in agreement with theoryo (Outside of science it is “just a theory” –
different meaning)
![Page 17: 1/11/05Atoms and Stars, January 121 Atoms and Stars IST 2420 and IST 1990 Fall 2005 Section 001 Instructor: David Bowen](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f295503460f94c41ff8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1/11/05 Atoms and Stars, January 12 17
Scientific Theories (continued)Components of science
• Scientistso Scientists are often partisan, play favorites.
Career pressures.o “Scientific misconduct”o No special ethical standards for scientists, apart
from training.
• Scientific communityo Corrects mistakes (honest/dishonest) over time
![Page 18: 1/11/05Atoms and Stars, January 121 Atoms and Stars IST 2420 and IST 1990 Fall 2005 Section 001 Instructor: David Bowen](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f295503460f94c41ff8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lab
• Form five Lab groups. Will generally be the same from week to week.
• Temperamental Can – handout
• Report will be individual, with an answer for each Assignment 1 – 12.
• Start heating water for Assignment 2 as soon as possible. This will take time to boil.

Lab
• Discuss Assignment 1 before doing Assignment 2, and write individual answers.
• Then do rest of Assignments, come back to Assignment 2, 3 and 4 at the end.

Lab
• Reports should include:o Your name, experiment number, title and dateo Names of lab partnerso Data sheet with procedure (description of what
you did), observations (what you saw happen) and measurements during the lab period. Separate from everything else.
o Any calculations and answers to questions in the lab manual
