1. 6th grade chapter I SCIENCE A. Process of OBSERVING, EXPLAINING, and
things in our world
B. 4 areas of science
1. Earth
2. Life
3. Physics
4. Chemistry

2. Earth Science
Geology
Astronomy
Meteorology
Oceanography C.

3. II. Applying Science
A. Technology
1. Use of scientific discoveries
B. Technology is transferable
1. robotic part fibers was for space now used on earth
2. radar and sonar used for military, now used in meteorology, geology, oceanography

4. III. Solving Problems
A. Steps in Scientific Method
1. Determine the problem
2. Make a HYPOTHESIS (prediction about the outcome)
3. Test the hypothesis (EXPERIMENT)
test 1 variable (changes)at a time
constant (factors that do not change)
4. Analyze the results
collect data make graphs and tables
5. Draw Conclusions
determine whether hypothesis is correct or not correct
B. Theory and Laws
1. theory is an explanation backed by experiments, observations
2. law is a scientific rule of nature describes behavior of something
in nature.

5. point 0° IV. Measurement A. Mass B. Length C. Volume
D. Density- mass per unit volume
divide MASS by VOLUME
unit g/mL
water has a density of 1
densities less than 1 will float in water
densities greater than 1 will sink in water
E. Area-amount of surface within a set of boundaries
unit- m2 or cm2
F. Temperature- Celsius boiling is 100°and freezing
point 0°
