EARTH SCIENCE GRADE 7 AUGUST 29, 2008 Science Skills

What is science? Science is the process of observing, studying, and thinking about things to gain knowledge to better understand the world. Every time you try to find out how and why things look and behave the way they do, you are performing science!

Earth Science Earth Science is the study of the Earth and space. Some Earth Science topics:  Geology  Meteorology  Oceanography  Astronomy

Some skills we use to solve and explain science problems… Graphing Measuring Classification Research Predicting Recognizing and understanding lab equipment

Rules of Graphing 1. Use a ruler 2. Use a pencil (and colored pencils if needed) 3. Title your graph and label both axes 4. Print TITLE and LABELS in BLOCK letter (capital) 5. Underline your TITLE and LABELS with ruler. 6. Labels that have units should indicate the units in parentheses. Ex: TIME (s) 7. Graphs should fill the space given. Space units evenly and accordingly.

Rules of graphing continued: 8. All information, including keys, should eb on the same page. 9. Use a bar graph to compare different things. 10. Use a line graph to show progressive change (ex. Change through time) 11. Put the variable you manipulate (the independent variable) on the X-axis. 12. Put the variable you measure (the dependent variable) on the Y-axis.
