1.- Individually, read the following text and underline the main ideas. Science Science is a systematic knowledge acquirement process about a system of previous knowledge. Instead, knowledge is a set of principles or universal laws that express, and can predict, the behavior of system under given conditions. Sciences are classified in two main groups: 1. Factual Sciences: are the based on natural observable facts, as Biology, Physics, Chemistry and the disciplines that flow from them. Factual sciences (or factic) use two study methods: the experimental scientific, and the informative scientific. Both use two objective methods: the deductive-hypothetical and the inductivehypothetical. 2. Formal Sciences: are the established in the logic reasoning and work with human mind-created ideas. Its work method is the inductive-logical. Examples of these sciences are Math, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Economics, Philosophy, and the disciplines that flow from them. Factic sciences are those which studies start from observation of natural facts to form a set of organized and trusted facts. As mentioned, biology, physics and chemistry are examples of factic sciences. Biology is the science that studies living being in structure, origin, development and functions. Physics is the science that studies energy transformations and its relationships with matter. Chemistry is the science that studies composition, structure, and properties of matter, and its changes.

Biology, Physics, and Chemistry are closely related sciences, because all the biological process involves transfer, storage, and movements of matter and energy. Besides, energy transfer, its storage and manipulation in living being depends on substances and chemical reactions. On the other side, Astronomy, a branch of Physics, has a close relationship with life because its origin was determined by the stellar evolution. That is, every atom that forms part of living was originated in a star. For example, iron contained in hemoglobin of blood was originated at the moment when atomic nucleus of different elements on a star merged to form heavier elements, among themselves iron. 2.- When finishing the reading, use the underlined words to make a Word document with a minimal extension of one page, where describe three examples where chemistry, physics and biology relate each other, and how these sciences have contributed to improve the quality of life of humanity.

3.- In 5 lines, write only the main ideas and keywords form the reading Science on pg 16 from your learning guide. 4.- Watch the documentary Top Ten Discoveries has linked in the blog and answer the following: I. Choose 3 of the 10 discoveries mentioned on the documentary that involve more than one science, write down the scientists involved and sciences or fields related to the discovery.

Describe how these discoveries (the 3 that you choose) improve the humans life quality. 5.- After watching the video Ultra High-Speed Camera answer the next questions: I. What theories is the scientist proposing? II. What utility would you give to his theory? III. What other utility would you give to this camera instead of watching light?

II.
