Introduction to Science 3.3 : Scientific ModelsChris Foltz
Scientific models are used to represent objects or systems in the natural world. There are three main types of scientific models: physical models, which resemble the actual object; mathematical models, which use equations and data; and conceptual models, which explain ideas through comparisons. Models allow scientists to study things that are too small, like cells, or too large, like the solar system. Models help illustrate scientific theories and build knowledge, though theories and models may change as new evidence is discovered. Scientific laws are formed when a theory's models consistently predict experimental results and summarize what is observed.
The document describes the composition and layers of Earth's atmosphere. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which are to describe the atmosphere's composition and layers, explain heat transfer mechanisms, and explain the greenhouse effect. It then provides details on the composition of the atmosphere including the main gases, atmospheric dust, and varying components. The layers of the atmosphere are defined based on temperature and composition changes at different altitudes. Heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection is explained. Finally, the greenhouse effect is described as gases in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun like glass in a greenhouse.
The document discusses Earth's place in the solar system. It provides information about the inner and outer planets, including their diameters, rotation periods, and distances from the sun. Specific details are given about Earth, such as it being the third planet from the sun and having conditions suitable for life. The document also describes Earth's moon, noting it is responsible for Earth's oceans and is the only celestial body humans have visited. To demonstrate the vast distances in the solar system, the document proposes using a football field to represent the scale of Earth and the sun's distance, with a student holding a pencil at one end as Earth.

The universe is composed of ordinary visible matter (4%), dark matter (21%), and dark energy (75%). Dark matter's existence was postulated to explain gravitational forces, while dark energy causes the accelerated expansion of the universe. The Big Bang theory proposes that approximately 13.7 billion years ago, the universe began as a very dense, hot mass that exploded and expanded. Evidence for this includes the cosmic microwave background radiation and the formation of light elements. Galaxies formed over time and come in elliptical, spiral, and irregular shapes. Stars form from clouds of dust and gas through gravitational collapse and nuclear fusion.
The document summarizes key facts about Earth:
- Earth is the third planet from the sun and formed around 4.5-4.6 billion years ago. It is the only known planet capable of sustaining life.
- With a diameter of around 8,000 miles, Earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system and has one moon. The presence of water covering over 70% of the surface allows life to thrive.
- Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours and revolves around the sun once every 365 days, causing seasons and influencing climate.
The document describes the layers of Earth's atmosphere from top to bottom:
1) Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, and Troposphere - the lowest layer where weather occurs and contains 90% of the atmosphere's mass.
2) Stratosphere extends from 10-50km high, temperature increases with altitude and contains the protective ozone layer.
3) Mesosphere extends to 80km high where temperature decreases with increasing altitude and absorbs little UV radiation.
4) Thermosphere extends to 600km high, temperature increases with altitude and readily absorbs solar radiation.
Lesson 8: Shape,Size and Structure of the earthJamaica Olazo
The Earth was formed at the same time as the other planets of the Solar System from a vast spinning disc of gas and dust.
Scientists have gathered valuable information about the Earth with the use of advance science and technology to help us understand our planet.
They have determined the size and shape of the Earth by using precise instruments and equipment.
The Earth is shaped like an Orange because it bulges at the Equator and is flat at the polar regions.
Therefore, the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.
Geodesy – the science that studies and measures the exact size and dimensions of the Earth.
The document summarizes key aspects of Earth's atmosphere. It describes the atmosphere as a layer of gases surrounding the planet that is held in place by gravity. It notes the atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) and serves important functions like absorbing energy from the sun, protecting the surface from radiation, and supporting life. The document also outlines the main layers of the atmosphere from lowest to highest: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year.
The document describes the different layers of Earth's atmosphere, which are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer where weather occurs and temperatures decrease with altitude. The stratosphere has increasing temperatures with altitude due to ozone absorption. It contains the ozone layer which absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The mesosphere is the coldest layer where temperatures decrease with height. The thermosphere is the hottest layer where temperatures increase with altitude and contains auroras and satellites. The exosphere is the uppermost layer where atoms and molecules can escape into space.
The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that has an average thickness of 75km. It is composed of several plates that move via the process of plate tectonics. The main parts that make up the lithosphere are the crust, mantle, asthenosphere, core, and transition zone. The lithosphere is useful as it serves as a source of minerals, fuels, and supports plant and animal life, with water bodies essential for survival.
1) Tycho Brahe made careful observations of astronomical events which helped Kepler discover his laws of planetary motion. Kepler found that planets orbit the sun in ellipses, with the sun at one focus, and that they sweep out equal areas in equal times.
2) Newton used Kepler's laws and mathematics to show that planetary orbits must be governed by an inverse-square law of gravitational attraction between the planet and sun.
3) Newton proposed his law of universal gravitation, which states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy an object gains when lifted against gravity, and is equal to the weight of the object multiplied by the height lifted.
- Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, and is equal to half the mass of the object multiplied by the square of its speed.
- The total energy of a system is conserved as GPE is converted to KE, such that the GPE lost by an object as it falls is equal to the KE gained. Simple equations can be used to calculate GPE, KE, and speed from mass, height/distance, and weight.
The document discusses global wind patterns that develop due to temperature differences between the equator and poles. Warm air rises at the equator, creating low pressure, while cold air sinks at the poles, creating high pressure. Air moves from high to low pressure areas, resulting in global wind currents called the prevailing westerlies, easterly trade winds, and polar easterlies in both hemispheres. The Coriolis effect causes these winds to curve right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere as they travel.

This document discusses functions and their key properties of domain and range. It provides examples to illustrate the difference between a relation and a function. For a relation to be a function, each input must have exactly one output. The domain is defined as the set of all possible inputs, while the range is the set of all possible outputs. Several examples of functions are examined, identifying their domains and ranges both visually and algebraically. It emphasizes that mathematical models must accurately represent real-world phenomena in order to provide useful insights and predictions.
This document discusses rules and concepts related to exponents:
1) It introduces the product rule for exponents, which states that when multiplying terms with the same base, you add the exponents.
2) It presents the power rule, which states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents, and when raising a product to a power, you raise each factor to that power.
3) It provides examples of combining multiple exponent rules to simplify expressions.
This document provides an overview of exponent rules, including:
- When multiplying or dividing terms with the same base, you add or subtract their exponents respectively
- When raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents
- A product or quotient raised to a power means each term is raised to that power
- A number raised to the zero power is equal to 1, except for 0 raised to zero which is undefined
- A negative exponent flips the term with that exponent to the denominator
Several examples are given to demonstrate each rule and mixed practice problems are provided for application.
This document discusses the laws of exponents. It defines what exponents mean and provides examples. The key laws of exponents covered are:
1) Multiplying powers with the same base means adding the exponents
2) Dividing powers with the same base means subtracting the exponents
3) Raising a power to another exponent means multiplying the exponents
4) A number with a zero exponent equals one.
Worked examples applying each law are provided.
1. Exponents indicate how many times a base is multiplied by itself. The laws of exponents describe how to manipulate exponents in algebraic expressions.
2. When multiplying or dividing expressions with the same base, exponents are added or subtracted. When raising a power to another exponent, the exponents are multiplied.
3. Negative exponents indicate the reciprocal of the base with a positive exponent. An exponent of zero equals one.
The document discusses rules for exponents and their applications. It introduces the product rule for exponents which states that when multiplying terms with the same base, the exponents are added. It also presents the power rule, where when raising a power to another power, the exponents are multiplied. Finally, it discusses using combinations of these rules to simplify more complex exponential expressions and gives an example of applying the rules to find the area of a geometric figure.
The document discusses exponent rules for multiplying, dividing, raising powers, and applying exponents to products and quotients. It provides examples and practice problems for each rule. The key rules are: when multiplying terms with the same base, add the exponents; when dividing terms with the same base, subtract the exponents; when raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents; when applying an exponent to a product or quotient, raise each term in the product or quotient to that exponent.

H. METRICS
1. Metrication
• Denotes process of changing from English weights and measures
to the Metric system.
• U.S. is only major country not using metrics as standard system.
• Many industries use metrics and others are changing.
Metric Prefixes:
Most commonly used prefixes are Kilo, centi, and milli.
Kilo = 1000 units
Hecto = 100 units
Deka = 10 units
deci = 0.1 unit (one-tenth of the unit)
centi = 0.01 (one-hundredth of the unit)
milli = 0.001 (one thousandth of the unit)
4. 4
A. Advantages of Metric System
• Based on decimal system.
• No fractions or mixed numbers
• Easier to teach.
Example 1:
Using three pieces of masking tape of the following English measurement lengths:
4 1/8 inches, 7 6/16 inches, and 2 3/4 inches, determine the total length of the tape.
Step 1: Find the least common
denominator (16). This
is done because unequal
fractions can’t be added.
Step 2: Convert all fractions to the
least common denominator.
Step 3: Add to find the sum.
Step 4: Change sum to nearest
whole number.
14 7/16
“Now, compare with Example 2 using Metrics”.
13 23/16
4 1/8 = 4 2/16
7 9/16 = 7 9/16
2 3/4 = 2 12/16
5. 5
b. Advantages of Metric System
Example 2:
Using three pieces of masking tape of the following lengths: 85 mm, 19.4 cm, and
57 mm, determine the total length of the tape.
Step 1: Millimeters and centimeters
cannot be added, so convert
to all mm or cm.
85mm = 85mm
19.4cm = 194mm
57mm = 57mm
Step 2: Add to find the sum.
336 mm
or
85mm = 8.5cm
19.4cm = 19.4cm
57mm = 5.7cm
33.6 cm

Conversion of Volume
• Volume measures the total space occupied by three-dimensional
objects or substances.
• Volume of six-sided spaces is calculated as “length x width x height”.
• Volume of spheres and cylinders is more complicated.
• Term “cubic” is used because it is a math function involving 3 factors.
2ft x 4ft x 3ft = 24 Cubic Feet
English
1 cubic inch = 1 cubic inch
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches (12 x 12 x 12)
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3 x 3 x 3)
Metric
1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters (100 x 100 x 100)
1 foot = .305 meters
and
1 meter = 3.28 feet
Factors can be converted before or after initial calculation.
