what is sustainability

  • Living on Earth in a way that allows humans to use its resources without depriving future generations of those resources

100

what is scientific methods 

  • An objective method to explore the natural world, draw inferences from it, and predict the outcome of certain events, processes, or changes

100

Independent Variable

  • A variable that is not dependent on other factors

100

Disseminating Findings

  • A hypothesis is never confirmed by a single experiment

  • Science involves ongoing experimentation and and discussion

  • If a hypothesis has been tested repeatedly, confirmed by multiple groups of researchers, and is widely accepted, it becomes a theory. 

100

Observing and Questioning

  • What are some problems that exist in a local scale?

  • What are some problems that exist on a regional scale? 

  • How can we solve these problems? 

  • How can we find the cause of these problems?

Impacts of Consumption

  • Developed vs. Underdeveloped Countries


    • Consumption is higher in developed countries

    • Populations higher in underdeveloped countries

  • Multiple examples of overexploitation


    • Fisheries

    • Forests

200

Qualitative Observations


  • non-numerical terms to describe a situation

200

Dependent Variable

  •  A variable that is dependent on other factors

200

Interpreting Results

  • Can include a variety of techniques like graphs, charts, diagrams, and summaries

  • Scientists use this to interpret their results

  • Can include one of two types of reasonings

300

what is The Scientific Method

  • Scientists must do research in a way that is methodical

  • Scientific Method: An objective method to explore the natural world, draw inferences from it, and predict the outcome of certain events, processes, or changes



300

Quantitative Observations

  • numerical terms to measure or count something

300

Inductive Reasoning

  • Making a general statement from specific facts or data

300

 Collecting Data

  • Scientists take sets of data by repeating the steps of their experiment in a process called replication

  • The number of times an experiment is the sample size

  • Ensures that data is both accurate and precise

400

hypothesis 

  • is a testable, conjecture about how something works

400

Deductive Reasoning:

  • Making a general statement to specific facts or data

400

Forming Hypotheses

  • In each case, we are measuring variables (categories, conditions, traits, or factors that differ in the natural world or in experimental situations.
