Objectives:Objectives:
1. List the three sciences included in earth science.2. Distinguish between observations and inferences.3. Convert numbers into scientific notation and express
numbers in scientific notation as whole numbers.4. Distinguish between basic units and derived units.
5. List the most commonly use prefixes of the metric system
6. Define density, mass, and volume and solve problems related to each.
7. List the two reasons scientists classify objects.
8. List and describe the two types of change and give examples of each.

Observations
a.Using all senses: sight, hearing,
feeling, taste, and smell.
InferencesInferences
a. Using observations to
make an educated guess.
Obj. 3Obj. 31. Scientific Notation1. Scientific Notation

Obj. 4Obj. 4
1. Basic units are fundamental unitsa. Meter (m) = lengthb. Liter (L) = liquid volumec. Gram (g) = massd. Second (sec) = time2. Derived units are combinations of
fundamental unitsa. Velocity = m/sec

Obj. 6Obj. 61. Density (Go to your ESRT and write 1. Density (Go to your ESRT and write the equation for density.) the equation for density.)Equation: Density (g/cm3)= Mass/Volume
a. Mass (g)= The amount of matter in an object. Note: Your mass does NOT change if you go to the moon.
b. Volume (L or cm3) - The amount of space an object occupies
Obj. 7Obj. 71. Classification1. Classification
a. We classify to make objects easier to
b. Objects are grouped together if they have similar or
