Something about God' dominion Genesis 1:28 know that the curiosity behind man's quest for scientific knowledge is part of his God given nature

Accuracy

The extent to which a reported measurement approaches the true value of the quantity measurement.

Controlled experiment

Experiment involving manipulation of a single variable or factor

Model

A replica or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept

Precision

The degree of exactness or refinement of a measure

Significant figures

Those digits in a measurement that are Known with certainty plus the first digit that is uncertain

System

A simple object and the items that immediately affect it are the focus of attention

science

What is a model of inquiry that is narrowly focused on the physical or material world

It seeks to describe the physical entities of the world in all their forms and to find a cause for every observed change

What does science seek to accomplish

Physics chemistry geology astronomy biology

Know the five types of science?

Physics

What is the study of the physical world

Any problem that deals with temperature, size, motion, position, shape, or color

What type of problems involve physics

bet

Know that physics has an interest in extremeities such as the atomic bomb and astronomy

1 curiosity is given for us to explore and understand our world to exercise the dominion entrusted to us
2 God wants us to be active seekers of the truth

What are the two reason curiosity is given to us

General revelation

What is the truth about God that can be found through the study of nature Romans 1:20

Special revelation

The truth about God in the Bible Romans 5:8

Psalms 102:25, 26

What verses show the early statement of the second law of thermodynamics

Classical physics and modern physics

The two branches of physics

Cogitation

What is thinking deeply, relying solely, on whatever facts or insights you can discover without your mind

Curiosity, observation, experiment

Know order?

Dimension

Description of what kind of physical quantity is represented by a certain measurement

Units

Description of how much of a physical quantity is represented

Fundamental unit

Result of a direct measurement
