The rigid outer shell of the planet and includes the crust and the solid uppermost part of the layer below the crust, the mantle.
Sits on partially molten layer called the asthenosphere.

The water in Earth’s oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and glaciers, as well as the water in the atmosphere.• 97% Salt water• 3% Fresh water
Glaciers, lakes, rivers, and groundwater

The blanket of gasses that surrounds our planet.• Needed for respiration• Protect from radiation• Helps maintain temperature• 78% nitrogen• 21% oxygen
![Page 8: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Includes all organisms on Earth as well as the environments in which they live.
Why is our Biosphere unique?• Most organisms exist within a few meters of
the Earth’s surface.

WHAT OR HOW DO THESE SYSTEMS INTERACT?
Give answer to the above question in the Introduction- Forum.• Your response must be 50-100 words.
![Page 10: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Application of scientific discoveries Transferable, which means that it can
be applied to new situations. Example: Freeze-dried foods Can you think of any more?

• A scientific Method is a planned, organized approach to solving a problem.
![Page 13: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• 4 steps: • Observation/Hypothesis• Test• Analyze• Conclude
![Page 14: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• What is the observation?• What do you want to know?• Research• State a hypothesis• Design a test.
![Page 15: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Once the problem is defined and research is complete, a hypothesis, or suggested explanation for an observation, is made.
![Page 16: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Select a sample• How will the variables be controlled
& measured?• Conduct the experiment & observe• Record the results
![Page 17: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Organize the data using graphs, tables, and charts.
• Look for trends in the data• Compare the data w/ the hypothesis
& the prediction
![Page 18: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Look @ data & form conclusions• Re-evaluate hypothesis• Formulate new questions.• New questions my begin the
scientific method again.
![Page 19: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• A good scientific experiment test only one variable, or changeable factor, at a time.
![Page 20: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The independent variable in an experiment is the factor that is manipulated by the experimenter.
![Page 21: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• The dependent variable is a factor that can change if the independent variable is changed.
![Page 22: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Constants are “constant”.• They can’t and won’t change during
the experiment.
![Page 23: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• A control is used in an experiment to show that the results of an experiment are actually a result of the condition being tested.
![Page 24: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• When conducting any scientific investigation, it is important to use all materials and equipment only as instructed.
• Now go back and watch the lab safety video in the Introduction module.
![Page 25: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• New ideas in science are limited by the context in which they are conceived.
• Eliminate bias.• Scientific methods are not rigid, step-
by-step outlines to solve problems.• When problems occur during
experimentation it often sparks new questions to be experimented.
![Page 26: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Often, scientists propose models to try to explain ideas or systems.
When an explanation withstands the test of repeated experiments, a theory might be proposed.
![Page 27: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Communicating scientific data and results allows others to learn of new discoveries, to possibly verify what has been reported and examine it for bias, and to challenge the findings.
![Page 28: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You will be asked to record and analyze the info that you collected and to draw conclusions based on your data.
You may also be asked to compare your results with results of other students to help you find both similarities and differences among results.
![Page 29: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
On a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal (x) axis, and dependent variable is plotted on the vertical (y) axis.
![Page 30: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A scientific model is an idea, a system, or a mathematical expression that is similar to the idea being explained.
Early astronomers, for example, thought that Earth was the center of the solar system.
The model was later changed of course.
![Page 31: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A scientific theory is an explanation based on many observations during repeated experiments.
A scientific theory is valid only if it is consistent with observations, makes predictions that can be tested, and is the simplest explanation of observations.
Can be changed or modified with the discovery of new data.
![Page 32: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A scientific law is a basic principle that describes the behavior of a natural phenomenon.
Thought of as a “rule of nature”, even though the cause of the law may not be known.
Events described by a law are observed to be the same every time
![Page 33: Introduction lesson](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b553fb4a7959b92c8b46b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion, which states that an object at rest or in motion stays at rest or in motion unless it is acted upon by an outside force.
