Day 3 Ch 2 section 1 vocab

Observation – process of obtaining information by using the senses Hypothesis – a theory or explanation that is based on observation and can

be tested Prediction – a statement made in advance that expresses the result will be

obtained from testing a hypothesis, if the hypothesis is supported; the expected outcome

Experiment – procedure designed to test the hypothesis under controlled conditions

Variable – a factor that changes in the experiment Experimental group – a group that is identical to the control group except

for one factor Control group – a group that is identical to the experimental group but

nothing is changed Data – the information gathered through an experiment Correlation – the linear dependence between to variables

statistical population Probability – chance that something will happen Sample – selected to represent a population Risk – probability of an unwanted outcome Model – pattern, plan or representation designed to

show structure or working of an object, system, or concept

Conceptual model – verbal or graphical representation

Mathematical model – one or more equations that represent the way a system or process works

Decision-making model

Day 5Value – principle or standard that an individual considers to be important

Decision-making model – a conceptual model that provide a systematic process for making decisions

Day 6 – Sept 2

Where are the hottest and coldest places on Earth?

Why is ocean water salty?

How do cold ocean currents and warm currents interact?

Day 6 (3.3) Where are the hottest and coldest places on

Earth? Most are located far inland, away from the ocean. The ocean has a moderating effect on temperature.

Why is ocean water salty? Water dissolves salts out of rocks on land and washes them into the sea. Evaporation concentrates the salts.

How do cold ocean currents and warm currents interact? They interact through convection. Warm currents rise, cold currents sink; they do not easily mix because of differing densities
