Observation and Inference
The act of noticing and recording events for study using one or more of the five senses
What is an observation?
The formula for rate of change.
What is Rate of change = Change in field value/time?
The location of almost all formulas needed in Earth Science
What is page 1 of the ESRT?
What is grams (g)?
As X increases, Y increases: This type of relationship
What is a Direct Relationship?
observations that use numbers
What is Quantitative?
To infer or estimate by extending or projecting known information
What is Extrapolate?
The formula for density.
what is Density is equal to mass/volume?
The piece of equipment used to measure irregular shaped objects
What is a graduated cylinder?
As X increases, Y decreased: This type of relationship
What is a indirect relationships?
The use of knowledge to identify and explain observations, or changes, in advance
What is a Prediction?
The formula for Standard Deviation.
What is ((Measured - Accepted Value)/ (accepted Value)) * 100
The item that I can and should use on all my test, quizzes and labs
What is the ESRT?
A solid object has a density of 3 g/cm3. The length is 3 cm, a width of 2 cm, and height of 1 cm. Calculate the mass.
What is 18 grams (g)?
The variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by other factors
What is the Independent Variable?
A student is asked to classify many rocks, these classifications should be based on...
What is observations?
A ball travels a distance of 12000 cm over a period of 240 seconds, the rate of change is....
What is 50 cm per seconds?
This planet has a mass 300 times that of Earth.
What is Jupiter?
Oil, water and rock have all separated due to differences in....
What is Density?
Jupiter's Movement across the night sky (Cyclical and predictable) or (Non-Cyclical and Non-predictable)
What is Cyclical and Predictable?
Observations that are descriptive
What is Qualitative?
Mr. Miller measures a cube have a volume of 3.0 cm3. The accepted value is 2.7cm3. Calculate the Standard Deviation for his problem.
What is 11.1% Standard Deviation?
This element takes up most of the crust by percent by mass and percent by volume.
What is Oxygen?
As Mass and volume increase of a material, Density will....
What is remain the same?
A list of three observed relationships is shown below.
Erosional rate = depositional rate
Amount of insolation = amount of terrestrial radiation
Rate of condensation = rate of evaporation
In which situation would each relationship exist?
(1) when a cyclic change occurs
(2) when a change of state occurs
(3) when dynamic equilibrium is reached
(4) when global warming ceases and global cooling begins
What is when dynamic equilibrium is reached?
