3. WARM-UP Warm-Up # 3 What is an inference? An inference is a guess about an object or an outcome based on your observations. THIS CAN BE A SCIENTIFIC OPINION

4. WARM-UP Warm-Up # 4 When we write our hypothesis, what format will we use? Use If, then statements If ____ [I do this], then _____ [this will happen]

5. WARM-UP Warm-Up # 5 When scientist analyze data, what are they looking for? Scientists are looking for trends, patterns, and relationships.

6. Warm-Up # 6 Sponge Bob notices that his pal Gary is suffering from slimotosis, which occurs when the shell develops a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor. His friend Patrick tells him that rubbing seaweed on the shell is the perfect cure, while Sandy says that drinking Dr. Kelp will be a better cure. Sponge Bob decides to test these cures by rubbing Gary with seaweed for one week and having him drink Dr. Kelp. After a week of treatment, the slime is gone and Gary’s shell smells better. What is the independent variable? The cures What is the dependent variable? slimotosis What is your conclusion? Something worked If this were an experiment, would there be any problems with it? Too many variables

7. Warm-Up # 7 When scientist are conducting an investigation, what is the name of the variable that they are changing? INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

8. Warm-Up # 8 What is the scientific method? It is a simple method scientists use to conduct an investigation. It is a way to ask & answer scientific questions by asking questions & conducting experiments.

9. WARM-UP # 9 Read the passage and write your answers only on your warm-up page. a)What is the independent variable (what we change)? Coconut juice b)What is the dependent variable(what we observe)? Green slime c)What is Homer’s conclusion? It did not work Homer notices that his shower is covered in strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of “treatment”, there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

10. WARM-UP # 10 What is the dependent variable? Give an example. What is measured and observed The effect caused by the independent variable. Example: When a plant is given fertilizer, the independent variable is the growth of the plant

11. WARM-UP # 11 What are the steps of the scientific method in order? 1 Problem or Questions 2 Hypothesis 3 Experiment 4 Data Analysis 5 Conclusion

12. Warm up 12 B. Meteorologist1.Weather 2.Earthquakes and seismic activity 3.Rocks & minerals 4.Fossils and ancient climates 5.Active and extinct volcanoes 6.Planets and stars 7.Water found on Earth D. Seismologist E. Geologist F. Paleontologist C. Volcanologist A. Astronomer G. Hydrogeologist

13. WARM-UP # 13 What Is The Property Called When Wave Bounce Off Of A Surface? REFLECTION

14. Warm-Up # 14 What is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope? A refracting telescope uses two lenses. A reflecting telescopes uses two mirrors and one lense.

15. What are 4 ways that astronomers can learn more about planets? 1. 2. 3. 4. Telescopes Landings Fly-bys Binoculars WARM-UP # 15

16. WARM-UP # 16 What do we call the waves of light in order of their wavelength? The Electromagnetic spectrum

17. WARM-UP # 17 Which of the following four diagrams most accurately depicts the Earth's orbit around the Sun?

18. The Solar System from “Overhead” looks like a circle. It varies only about 2% from a perfect circle.

19. WARM-UP # 18 1)What is the angle of tilt of the Earth? 2) What if the earth was not tilted? What would happen to our seasons? October 21, 2013 Have a Monster Monday! 23.5 degrees There would be no seasons.

20. Warm-UP # 19 Why do we never see the dark side of the moon? Synchronous Rotation. The Moon has become "locked" into a special kind of motion around the Earth. It rotates on its axis at the same pace as it revolves around the Earth. As a result, the Moon keeps the same face toward us throughout its orbit.

21. To increase gradually in size. Light on the right, wax on, wax off. Warm-UP # 20 What does waxing mean? When a moon is waxing, what side is the light on?

22. WARM UP # 21 What is it called when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow? LUNAR ECLIPSE

23. The 4 planets in the inner solar system are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, Text Correction – Mercury is the smallest planet (not second smallest) Warm-Up # 22

24. What is an asteroid? Rocky or metallic objects that orbit the sun. Warm-Up # 23

25. Warm-Up # 24 When is the sun closest to earth in the northern hemisphere? In the winter or summer? WINTER

26. Warm-Up #25 What does AU stand for? What is it? Astronomical Unit. It represents the 93 million miles which is the distance from Earth to the sun.
