Scientific Process: 1) Problem 2) Observations make you curious. Scientists make an inference - a LOGICAL explanation. 3) Hypothesis is not just a guess. It’s a possible explanation for observations that have been made. It can be tested scientifically. 4) Procedures a) Variables - Independent Variable - what you want to test - is changed by the investigator. - Dependent Variable - what you measure or observe - may change because the independent variable changes - Controlled variable - factors that you do not change in an investigation. Only one variable should be changed at a time. b) More Observations - using senses to decide if the hypothesis is accurate. 5) Draw Conclusion - Summary of the information gained from your testing.

B. 1. a b 2. 5 NEW: Over-all Questions: How are the three components of Earth – the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere – interrelated? How does the interaction of these three layers cause continuous change to Earth’s crust and atmosphere? How are the natural events on Earth both predictable and unpredictable at the same time? I. Earth Science is the study of _____________, including rocks, the atmosphere, and its relationship to the rest of the universe. Our Units - Changing Earth - Rocks - Earth- Sun-Moon - Weather - after the test - Conservation II. Earth is part of the ________________, which is part of the ________________, which is part of the ________________. 6 III. Earth is the _________________ planet from the Sun one of the rock planets. IV. Shape - Earth, the planets, and the stars are nearly ___________________________. V. Earth’s Layers ** What are Earth’s layers like? A. VW: Atmosphere - Layer of _______________ surrounding Earth. B. VW: Hydrosphere – is all the ______________ on Earth - as liquid in the atmosphere, underground, and on the surface - 70 % of Earth. C. VW: Lithosphere - all the _____________________ part of Earth. The whole crust and the solid (top) part of the mantle. 7 D. Analyzing of _____________________ ________________ helped scientists infer what the composition and density of each layer is. 1) Crust - part we live on. - Crust is relatively ______________ and is a __________________. - Oceanic crust: - Continental Crust: - Made mostly of _____________________. - ____________________________ than the interior. 2). Mantle - Made mostly of _____________________ - Upper most mantle - goes with the lithosphere - Asthenosphere - “plastic” - soft enough to flow - Lower Mantle - solid? - Density: 3) Core - Is the most ___________________________ - Made mostly of ________________________ a) Outer 8 -_____________________________ b) Inner - _____________________ – because of the great pressure - Density: VI.
