EARTH SCIENCE

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF SCIENCE?

UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AROUND US...

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

GATHER INFORMATIONGATHER FACTSCREATE A SOLID THEORY

THEORY

LOGICAL EXPLANATION

LAW

IF A THEORY IS TESTED OVER AND OVER AND DOES NOT CHANGE IT IS A LAW

RESEARCHHYPOTHESISEXPERIMENTANALYSISCONCLUSION

STATE THE PROBLEM

RESEARCH

FIND OUT MORE FACTS

HYPOYHESIS

EDUCATED GUESS BASED ON FACTS

THIS IS NOT.. BUBBA I KNOW THIS..

EXPERIMENT

MUST FIND EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT HYPOTHESIS

ANALYSIS

LOOK AT DATA YOU HAVE GATHERED

CHARTS

GRAPHS

CONCLUSION

HOW ARE THE RESULTS SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT FROM HYPOTHESIS

WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?

THE ENTIRE THING ALL OVER AGAIN...

MASS

MATTER IN AN OBJECT

WEIGHT

ATTRACTION DUE TO GRAVITY

NEWTONS = MASS X 9.8

DENSITY

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MASS AND VOLUME

REFRACTING TELESCOPE

USES LENSES TO FOCUS AND DRAW IN LIGHT

REFLECTING TELESCOPE

USES MIRRORS TO FOCUS AND COLLECT LIGHT

MULTI MIRROR TELESCOPES

EX. 6- 72 INCH MIRRORS
