The Scientist in You What is a scientist? Someone who uses Science is about f________and how you analyze those f_____________. Doing this analysis is called the “scientific process”and when you use it, you are ________ Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Page 1-3

Scientists are dependent on our 5 _______________ to make observations. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. All Scientific equipment is an extension of our senses. 1. 2. 3 4 5 What science is not:

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

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 and its associated careers possible. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1-8 to 1-10

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

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

…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

The Five Basic Steps to the scientific method include: 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

Metric System Based on fingers and water Temperature = Boiling point= Freezing point= Basic Units Length= Volume= Mass=

Subunits Milli Centi Deci Basic unit kilo

1 ml of water has a mass of ____________ Volume = Length x width x Height Density = A 2 liter bottle of water has a mass of ___________

Evidence has to be repeatable and verifiable. 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

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=

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. How to Learn Marine Science Most Efficiently Chapter 1 Pages 1-34 to 1-36

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. How to Learn Marine Science Most Effectively Chapter 1 Pages 1-35 & 1-36

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 book there are five study steps to follow as you learn. How to Learn Marine Science Most Efficiently Chapter 1 Pages 1-36 to 1-38
