Name: ___________________________________ Period: 1 2 3 5 6 Intro to Earth’s Systems A system is a _____​
COLLECTION______​
of things that have some ____​
INFLUENCE ______​
on each other and the ______​
WHOLE ____​
. To be considered a system, the parts must ​
INTERACT with or influence each other in some way. Systems are often ______​
CONNECTED____ ​
to other systems. Earth has several large systems (also called “spheres”) that scientists study. They are listed in the table below. atmosphere atmo = air hydrosphere hydro = water biosphere bio = life geosphere (also called lithosphere) geo = Earth litho = rock LAYER OF GASES THAT SURROUNDS EARTH ALL WATER ON OR NEAR SURFACE OF EARTH ANY PART OF THE EARTH WHERE THERE ARE LIVING THINGS EARTH’S INTERIOR, ROCKS, MINERALS, LANDFORMS LITHOSPHERE ­ OUTERMOST LAYER OF GEOSPHERE Observations: We are going to make observations from a live video feed using the website ​
www.explore.org​
. Choose one of the live video feeds to watch, then write down as many SPECIFIC observations as you can. You must write down ​
at least​
5 observations! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Systems analysis: Choose one observation to analyze. Write the observation below: On a separate sheet of paper, draw a map to show how your observation relates to each of the systems we are studying. Put the main organism at the center of your diagram. Then, draw arrows to show connections between your main organism (in the biosphere) and the other systems. Along each arrow, write details about the interaction. An example has been done for you. This example starts with the observation “a bird flew from one branch to another”. This example also shows the sun because all living things depend on sunlight.
