1. Unit 1 Notes

2. Key Topic: Scientific Method Is about…
How we do labs and experiments
Main Idea 1:__Measurement_____
*unit and number
*density= mass/volume
Main Idea 2:_Steps______
Ask a Question->Research->Hypothesis->Experiment->Draw Conclusions & Analyze Results->Report Results (if it valids)
Main Idea 3:Parts of the Experiment__
Observation- uses senses Inference-explanation of observation
*Theory- explains observations *Law-fact (proven)
*Independent Variable: manipulated by experimenter
*Dependent Variable: result of the experiment
*Control: experiment without independent change
*Constants: stay the same
So what is most important about Scientific Investigation?
Extend: Coin Density Lab

3. How we explore Earth’s surface.
Map Concepts
Is about….
How we explore Earth’s surface.
Coordinates
Direction
Technology
Main Idea 1:_Coordinates__
*Latitude- 90N to 90S
*Longitude- 180 E ,W =International Date Line
15 longitude= 1 hr. time zone
Map scale I l
Main Idea 2: ___Types____
2nd
Mercator-parallel longitude (big Greenland)
*conic- weather & roads
*gnomonic- water routes
Main Idea 3: _Technology___
*GPS (uses satellites to pin point location)
*remote sensing
*LandSAT *Topex/posiden
So what is most important?
Finding location on Earth.
Extend: Using world map. What is the latitude of Richmond, VA?

4. *geosphere (crust, mantle, core) *cryosphere *hydrosphere *atmosphere
… is about

*Meteorology
*biosphere;
*geosphere (crust, mantle, core)
*cryosphere
*hydrosphere *atmosphere
*lithosphere & asthenosphere By
*longitude-E & W
-Prime Meridian
-15* time zones
-International Date Line (180*)
*Latitude- N & S of Equator
*Mercator
*Gnomonic
*Robinson
*Conic
*Topographic- elevation
-contour
-depression- hachures
-profile
By investigating
Scientific Method
4th
*density= mass/volume
*mass- grams (g)
*Volume- mL
*mass constant
*constants
*control
*Independent-you change
*dependent- experiment changes
*graphs
