Intro to Science Chapter 1 in all books

What’s wrong with this picture? Hepzibah, Lavinia, and Igor are each taking dangerous chances in their lab that only a mad scientist would take! Stop them before it’s too late! 1.Why is it a bad idea for Igor to be eating his sandwich in the lab and drinking out of a lab beaker? 2.Predict what will happen to Lavinia as she holds a container over this flame. What do you see in the picture that could help her avoid this? 3.Hepzibah is doing one thing right. What do you think it is? What dangerous things is she doing?
6
Science n What is science? n List the top 10 things you think of when you hear the word science
7
Science? n An organized approach to gathering, analyzing, verifying, and utilizing information about everything.
8
Scientific Method 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
9
Scientific Method 1. State the problem 2. Gather information 3. Form hypothesis 4. Experiment 5. Record & analyze data 6. State conclusion
10
Scientific Method n A good experiment tests only one variable at a time Same experiment without the variable Variable Control Factor that is being tested. Ideally there is only one.
11
Scientific Method 1. Will the ride be smoother if we drive faster 2. Research myth and washboard roads 3. Yes it will be a smoother ride 4. Ran car on rough road at multiple speeds wine glass, accelerometer, high speed camera Re-ran on welded washboard road 5. Measured lost water, laptop data, camera 6. Myth confirmed!
12
Scientific Method n Can you think of any theories or laws? n Incoming freshman n Evolution n Big bang Theories & Laws
13
Scientific Method Theory Logical explanation based on gathered data What is a theory? Theory of Gravity
14
Scientific Method Theory tested many times What is a law? Law
15
Scientific Method n What goes up must come down… n Right? Theories & Laws
16
Scientific Method n If further observations disprove a theory it must be changed or discarded Theories & Laws What happens if something goes up but doesn’t come down?
17
What is Earth Science? n List the 4 most important things about Earth.
18
What is Earth Science?
19
Earth Science n The systematic study of solid Earth, water, air, and its place in the universe
20
4 Earth Sciences n Geology - Universe Air & weather Earth’s materials Oceans n Astronomy - Astronomy - n Meteorology - n Oceanography -
21
Biology - n The science of living things: plants, animals, and humans
22
Biology n Study of the relationships between organisms, and organisms and their physical environment n Ecology -
23
4 Earth Systems n Red Book Pg. 22 n Lithosphere n Hydrosphere n Atmosphere n Biosphere
24
Lithosphere n Rigid outer shell of planet n Oceanic and continental crust
25
Hydrosphere n Water in oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, and atmosphere n 97% salt water
26
Atmosphere n Blanket of gasses that surround the Earth n 78%N 21%O
27
Biosphere n All organisms on Earth and the environments they live in n Extends into other spheres
28
Scientific Method 1. Will the ride be smoother if we drive faster 2. Research myth and washboard roads 3. Yes it will be a smoother ride 4. Ran car on rough road at multiple speeds wine glass, accelerometer, high speed camera Re-ran on welded washboard road 5. Measured lost water, laptop data, camera 6. Myth confirmed!
29
Scientific Observations n A piece of information obtained directly through our senses n Quantitative vs. Qualitative
30
Qualitative Observations n Relative but not specific n Tall, Red
31
Quantitative Observations n Specific, Counts objects or makes a measurement n Answers: How many? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...
32
Quantitative or Qualitative 1. The girl ran fast 2. There was a fat cat 3. The cat weighed 34 lbs. 4. The class has 24 students 5. We have a large class
33
Quantitative or Qualitative n Come up with 3 examples of each type of observations
34
Scientific Units? meter (m) liter (l) u 1ml = 1 cm 3 gram (g) seconds (s) degrees Celsius (C) u 0 o K = -273 o C u Room temp = 25 o C u Human = 37 o C n Length - n Volume - n Mass - n Time - n Temperature -
35
Scientific Units n Read White Book Section 1-2 n Pgs 14-19 n Answer Pg 19 #1-3
36
Matter n Anything that has a mass and a volume
37
Mass n The amount of matter in an object n Depends on number and type of atoms
38
Weight n Measure of attraction due to gravity n On moon weight = 1/6 of Earths
41
Area n Amount of surface occupied by an object n length x width
42
Volume n Amount of space occupied by an object n 1 cm 3 = 1 ml H L W
43
Density n Amount of matter that occupies a given space n mass / volume
