Hi Everyone!
Every week I'll be sending out an email with a quick summary of what we did in class. This email is a little later than usual due to "beginning-of-the-year-organizational stuff". Usually, these will be in your email boxes within 24 hours or so. I also send a recording of each class so that folks who miss class or who would like to review the material can take a look. That is usually also posted to YouTube within 24 hours. The recordings are "unlisted" so that they can only be viewed by folks who have the link.
This week we spent some time going over some of the administrative details of class such as homework and quizzes and we went over a general syllabus for the class. We also touched on the topic of "What is Science?" We will be doing quite a bit more with the where's, what's and why's of science in the next couple of weeks.
For homework this week:
Read pages 6 - 14 in the Earth Science text book
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the definition of hypothesis?
2. Give an example of a scientific hypothesis.
3. List the 5 steps of the scientific method that we discussed in class.
4. What does the word "data" mean?
5. What is the definition of science that we used in class?
6. Why do we need science?
7. What is the definition of Earth Science?
8. Why is it important that scientists perform an experiment more than one time?
