Is it Science?
Class Review
100

ESS stands for this. 

Earth System Science. 

100

The main reason we want to know what is true or not?

To make good decisions.

100

The results of experiments are reasonably the same when repeated.

Consistent

100

Specific predictions can be used to foretell an event.

Science

100

Incentive system for participating/ parties.

Beat the Teacher

200

This sphere contains all the water. 

Hydrosphere. 

200

Types of important decisions we make based on science, evidence.

Judicial, Medical, Legislative

200

The event or evidence of the event, can be observed and explained. The observations are limited to the basic human senses or to extensions of the senses.

Observable.

200

The event or evidence of the event, doesn't have to be observed using the senses.

Not Science

200

Mr. Fassnacht's personal rules.

300

This sphere contains all the gases around Earth.

300

In general, the reason believing in misinformation could be dangerous.

Bad decisions.

300

A natural cause (mechanism) must be used to explain why or how the event happens.

Natural

300

Theory is unchangeable based on new evidence.

Not Science.

300

What this class is all about.

Figuring out phenomenon, solving problems.

400

This picture is was started the ESS approach. 

First picture of Earth. 
400

One characteristic of good science...

consistent, observable, natural, predictable, testable, tenative

400

Specific predictions can be used to foretell an event.  

Predictable.

400

The cause of a phenomenon is not based on a natural cause.

Not Science.

400

Where you find the makeup work.

Bins.

500

The goal of ESS. 

The figure stuff out. Interactions between Earth systems. 

500

What you call something that is happening on Earth. 

A phenomenon. 

500

Scientific theories are changeable and correctable, even to the point of the theory being proven wrong.  

Tentative.

500

The event must be testable through controlled experimentation.

Science.

Way to earn credit for the class outside of class.  

Hikes!
