Introduction to Earth Science Mr. Bryant Objectives:

Objectives: 1. List the three sciences included in earth science. 2. Distinguish between observations and inferences. 3. Convert numbers into scientific notation and express numbers in scientific notation as whole numbers. 4. Distinguish between basic units and derived units. 5. List the most commonly use prefixes of the metric system 6. Define density, mass, and volume and solve problems related to each. 7. List the two reasons scientists classify objects. 8. List and describe the two types of change and give examples of each.

Obj What are the Sciences included in Earth Science? Geology a. Rocks and Minerals b. Tectonics and Earthquakes c. Paleontology and Earth History

Mt. Marcy (5344 Ft.) Highest Peak in New York State

Geology- Earthquakes

Geology- Tectonics

Geology -Paleontology

Meteorology a. Weather and Climate Tornado

Hurricane Irene, August 23, 2011

Projected Path.

Astronomy a. Planets, Stars, Galaxies, Universe

Stars

Galaxies

Universe

Obj Distinguish between Observations and inferences Observations a.Using all senses: sight, hearing, feeling, taste, and smell.

Inferences a. Using observations to make an educated guess.

Obj Scientific Notation a. Powers of 10 b. Used by scientists to express very large or very small numbers

Powers of Ten Click Here Click Here

Obj Basic units are fundamental units a. Meter (m) = length b. Liter (L) = liquid volume c. Gram (g) = mass d. Second (sec) = time 2. Derived units are combinations of fundamental units a. Velocity = m/sec

Obj Prefixes in Science Meaning Scientific Notation - 3 milli 1/ x centi 1/100 1 x 10 3 kilo x 10

Obj Density (Go to your ESRT and write the equation for density.) Equation: Density (g/cm 3 ) = Mass/Volume a. Mass (g)= The amount of matter in an object. Note: Your mass does NOT change if you go to the moon. b. Volume (L or cm 3 ) - The amount of space an object occupies

Obj Classification a. We classify to make objects easier to b. Objects are grouped together if they have similar or Example: We classify all rocks made of rock fragments as Sedimentary study. propertiescharacteristics

Obj Change a. Change can be either or Examples of noncyclic: Examples of cyclic: b. Cyclic changes are predictable into the future. cyclicnoncyclic Earthquakes Volcanoes, Landslides Tides, Phases of the moon, day and night

Activity Do Sunspot Activity including questions.

Obj. 9 Models are simplified representations of objects, structures or system used to: analyze, explain or interpret. Examples: Maps, Charts, 3-D objects such as globes.
