SCIENCE
Using
Math
in
Science
Whenever
you
are
conducting
a
science
experiment
or
investigation,
in
Science,
Math
will
most
always
be
involved.
Whether
you
are
measuring,
calculating,
creating
graphs
and
charts,
or
using
numbers
in
any
way…that’s
using
your
math
skills.
Where
Do
You
Use
Math
in
a
Science
Investigation?
When
you
are
measuring:
•
During
many
science
investigations
you
may
have
to
measure
the
length,
width,
height,
or
weight
of
different
objects.
•
You
may
need
to
compare
measurements
of
different
objects,
use
such
measurements
to
justify
a
hypothesis,
or
use
the
measurements
to
help
you
figure
out
other
various
scientific
problems.
•
You
also
may
need
to
measure
the
temperature
of
the
air
or
different
liquids
when
completing
a
scientific
investigation
as
well.
All
this
measuring
is
Math
at
work!
When
you
are
adding,
subtracting,
multiplying,
or
dividing:
There
are
many
times
during
an
investigation
that
you
will
need
to
add,
subtract,
multiply
and
divide
in
order
to
solve
a
scientific
problem
or
to
help
justify
your
hypothesis.
ADDING…
You
might
be
figuring
out
how
many
centimeters
your
plant
has
grown
in
one
month.

SUBTRACTING…
You
many
need
to
find
out
a
difference
in
temperature.
At
Sherman
Elementary
School
it
was
26°
C
at
11:00
AM
in
the
morning
but
dropped
down
to
20°
C
by
2:00
PM
in
the
afternoon.
How
much
did
the
temperature
decrease
from
11:00
AM
to
2:00
PM?
To
solve
this
problem,
you
would
subtract
26°
C
-
20°
C
=
6°
C
MULTIPLYING…
You
could
be
figuring
out
how
many
times
your
heart
beats
in
an
hour.
Your
heart
beats
on
average
70
times
per
minute.
How
many
times
will
your
heart
beat
in
an
hour?
To
figure
this
out,
you
would
have
to
multiply
70
X
60
=
4200
DIVIDING…
You
may
need
to
also
divide
when
dealing
with
science.
Let’s
say
there
were
20
oak
trees
growing
in
the
forest
before
construction
began.
One
quarter
(¼)
of
them
were
cut
down
during
the
building
of
the
new
road.
How
many
trees
were
cut
down
during
the
building
of
the
new
road?
¼
of
20
=
20
÷
4
=
5
(so
5
trees
were
cut
down
during
construction)
Creating
graphs
and
charts
during
your
science
investigations
involves
Math
too!
Graphs
and
charts
help
organize
your
information
so
that
you
can
clearly
show
your
data
results
which
will
help
you
justify
your
hypothesis!
