  7. Earth Systems • Although we study four branches of earth science, there are many interactions between earth’s systems. You are standing on the ______sphere. You are breathing in part of the ______sphere. If you went to the beach or canoed down the James you where visiting the ______sphere. And you and all the other living things on earth make up the _____sphere. litho atmo hydro bio

  8. Scientific Method • When solving problems scientifically we follow a series of steps to avoid wasting time, effort, and resources. These steps include: • 1. Defining the ________ (may include research or observation) • 2. Stating a ____________ (explanation of observation; must be able to be tested) • 3. _________ the hypothesis (involves measurement of one variable at a time) • 4. Analyzing the _________ (data organized in graphs, tables, and charts) • 5. Drawing _____________ (returning to step #2 as needed) ***This is not a rigid, step-by-step outline.*** problem hypothesis Testing results conclusions

  9. Control • ________- the standard for comparison in an experiment • _______- all the variables we are not testing and trying to keep the same • ___________________- factor in an experiment that may change if the independent variable changes • _____________________- factor that the experimenter changes • ______________- also known as SI units; uses a decimal base 10 system; such units as liters, meters, and grams. • _______- explanation that is consistent with repeated observations, can be tested and make predictions, and is as simple as possible • ____- basic fact describing behavior of a natural phenomenon Constants Dependent Variable Independent Variable Metric Units Theory Law

  10. Humor: Charlie grows up

  11. Volcanoes Earthquakes Maps Fossils Mountains Land Use (Oil) Rocks Minerals Tectonics Geology • Study of Earth, it’s Matter, and the processes that form and change the Earth

  12. Geologists • Search for oil , study volcanoes, identify rocks and minerals, study fossils and glaciers and determine how mountains form

  13. Study of the Earths atmosphere. Weather Storm patterns Ozone layer Acid rain Climates Meteorology Hurricane Katrina

  14. Astronomy • Study of objects in space using technology. • Stars • Planets • Comets • Galaxies • Black holes • Nebulae • Earths origin

  15. Oceanography

  16. Vocabulary review Science : Earth Science: Geology: Meteorology: Astronomy: Oceanography: Process of observing and studying things in our world Study of Earth and Space Study of Earth it’s matter, and the processes that form and change the earth Study of Earths atmosphere, weather, and the forces and processes that cause it. Study of objects in Space Study of the Earths oceans

  17. Place Bold typed words in bubbles and then put other words in their Earth Science category. Cross out words as you go. Astronomy, Geology, volcanoes, earthquakes, Earth Science, Meteorology, Oceanography, submersibles, hurricanes, waves, tornadoes, rocks, Mars, and Stars.
