The Ocean Planet • Map of the 4 Oceans and 8 Largest Seas • The oceans produce two influences vital to life on Earth. • Weather = • Climate= In addition, the oceans provide three important marine resources: f__________ • O___________ • N_______ R__________ • Humans increasingly change the oceans; • 1. • 2. • 3. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1-3 to 1-5

5. Marine Science • There are four main branches of oceanography. • Biological oceanography – studies • Chemical oceanography – studies. • Geological oceanography – studies. • Physical oceanography – studies • Technology has made marine exploration andits associated careers possible. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-8 to 1-10

6. Integrating the Sciences • Marine Science – draws on research from all sciences to understand what is observed in the ocean. 1. Physical Science – 2. Life Science – 3. Earth and Space Science – Studying Science Itself • Marine science involves • Situatedness= Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-11 to 1-14

7. Cross-Disciplinary Nature of Marine Science • Many sciences, professions, and careers draw on basic marine science. Cross-discipline areas of study include: • Math – • History – • Technology – • Social Sciences – • Literature – • Arts - Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-15 & 1-16

8. … …Technology – A Benefit and a Burden • A technology is a material system that produces intended results or in a general sense, knowledge of those systems. • Technology has both improved and threatened daily life. he • Benefit – • . • Burden - Science, Technology, Society , and You Chapter 1 Pages 1-19 to 1-21

9. The Scientific Method • The formal, organized steps scientists follow in proposing explanations for their observations and then testing their explanations are called the S ____________ M________ The Five Basic Steps to the scientific method include: 1. Identify the problem (or question) 2. Make a hypothesis – making an educated guess you can test about the answer. • inductive reasoning= deductive reasoning= 3. Test the hypothesis 4. Interpret and analyze results – 5. Report results, procedures and conclusions – Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1-22 to 1-30

13. Scientific Truth= Is a philosophy based on the principle that truth is discovered through evidence that you can observe directly or indirectly with instruments. • Evidence has to be repeatable and verifiable. • Science attempts to eliminate personal bias. • Cultural Bias= • Many Philosphophies accept faith, personal experiences, testimonies of personal experiences and other evidence that one would not consider to be science • Scientific Hypothesis= • Scientific Theory= • Scientific Law= • Science can not answer all questions Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1-30 to 1-32

14. Scientists realize that a theory is not necessary correct. • 1. What’s the source: • 2. Can it be proved wrong? • 3. How good is the data? • 4. What is the simplest explanation? = • 5. Occam’s razor=

16. Study Elements and Visual References • There are six basic study elements (units) in Life on an Ocean Planet that divide marine science into meaningful segments. These units are: • Unit 1: Importance of Ocean Exploration • Unit 2: The Foundation of Life in the Ocean • Unit 3: A Water World • Unit 4: The Motion of the Ocean • Unit 5: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea • Unit 6: The Present and Future of the Marine Environment • These units cover a broad spectrum of marine science fundamentals, which helps you prepare for a career in or related to marine science. • The six units show you the various marine sciences. • This covers what related careers involve. One goal being to help you find what areas of marine science fit best with your interests and desires. • Most important, however, is your desire, passion, and interest in that career.

17. Visual References to Focus Study • Headings (black) and subheadings (blue) divide each chapter. Paying attention to these helps to organize the materials. • Learning Objectives are green: found under subheadings. IMPORTANT: as you read, find the answers to each of the learning objective questions. • Relevant supplement information: found in the purple-boxed sidebars. • Photos and illustrations are red. These provide important visual information to illustrate what you’re reading. • Quick Quiz is found at the end of a main subject division. IMPORTANT: Review the materials until you understand any questions missed before moving on. • Review questions are found at the end of each chapter.

18. Learning Effectively with Life on an Ocean Planet • The first thing to do is survey this book. You do this by: • First, read the table of contents; note chapter titles and subheadings. • Next, go through from cover to cover. Pay attention to style and how it’s laid out. Look for the pattern in identifying elements; the marine scientist profiles, quizzes, and reviews. Skim the glossary, index, and references. • Surveying before reading makes learning more efficient and effective. It does this by establishing your mental framework about marine science. • After surveying the bookthere are five study steps tofollow as you learn.
