Introduction to Earth and
Space Science
Glossary
direct observation: is when you watch interactions, processes, or behaviors as they occur; for example, observing a teacher teaching a lesson from a written curriculum to determine whether they are delivering it with fidelity.
scientific method: The procedure of scientific inquiry used to investigate natural phenomena
indirect observation: Indirect observation would be observation that takes place in unnatural, artificial settings.
citizen science: The collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project with professional scientists.
analog: ng that is similar or comparable to something else either in general or in some specific detail : something that is analogous to something else historical analogues to the current situation an aspirin analogue.
Digital: describes electronic technology that generates, stores, and processes data in terms of two states: positive and non-positive. Positive is expressed or represented by the number 1 and non-positive by the number 0. Thus, data transmitted or stored with digital technology is expressed as a string of 0's and 1's.
hypothesis- a proposed explanation for an occurrence based on available data, observations, or evidence
What Is Earth and Space Science?
Branches of Earth and Space Science
Astronomy
Astornonmy is study of space and objects within it.
Metorlogy is the study of the weather.
It is the study of all the apects of the ocean.
Deals with earth's structures and subtances.
Tools for Studying Earth and Space Science
Telescopes: an optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified.
Microscopes: A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system that analyzes and displays geographically referenced information. It uses data that is attached to a unique location.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-navigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites broadcasting navigation signals and a network of ground stations and satellite control stations used for monitoring and control.
Scientific Probes : Probes record measurements that scientists cannot directly observe. These measurements include pH, flow rate, conductivity, and heavy metal content.
Weather Stations : A weather station is a facility, either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate.
Scientists can learn a lot by examining the surface of a geologic feature, such as a rock, with the naked eye. However, they can extract even more information by breaking a rock open with a rock hammer. They then analyze the inside of the rock with a hand lens that contains a powerful magnifier.
