Ms. Rogers’
Science Class!!
!
DO NOW
1. Name three main skills that scientist use
2. Can you make an inference without
having made any observations? Explain.
3. Define scientific theory? What is scientific
law?
4. One thing you learned from this reading
and why you will remember the
information. What graphic organizer
would you use to put this information in?
(switch with someone at your table)
ANSWERS = 10PTS
1. Observing, Inferring and predicting (3pts)
2. No, an inference is based on observations and
reasoning from what is already known. (2pts)
3. Scientific theory is a well tested explanation for a
wide range of observations or experimental results.
Scientific law is a statement that describes what
scientist expect to happen every time under a
particular set of conditions. (3pts)
4. Answer may vary. KWLFR graph; 1 point for each
answer should be two parts. (2pt)

HOMEWORK
• Write and define all of your vocabulary words and
in which way they affect the study of the earth.
• For example;
• 1. energy (page 14) – is the ability to do work or cause change.
It is apart of the Earth’s system.

4) What is density? What factors can affect an object's
density?
5) How do scientists measure change?
6) How do scientists publish their work in order to have the
greatest impact?
7) How do we analyze and interpret data?
Activity-Prefix/suffix
Graphic Organizer
• Breakdown the words Biosphere, Hydrosphere,
Atmosphere and Lithosphere
• Separate the prefix from the suffix- Bio/Sphere
• Define the prefix and suffix- Bio= living
Sphere= circular
• Define the word- living circle, circle of life
• Give example- water cycle, food chain
• Give other examples- Biology, biodegradable,
etc.
