  3. The Scientist in You What is a scientist? • Someone who uses theprocesses of science tofind answers about how and why things work… …in the world. …in the observable universe. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1-3

  4. The Scientist in You • This is what makes science an adventure full of discovery and wonder. • Science isn’t simply a body of facts,but the way you analyze those facts. • Doing this analysis is called the“scientific process” and whenyou use it, you are a scientist. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1-3

  5. The Ocean Planet • The ocean produces two influences vital to life on Earth. • Weather and world climatepatterns dictate how warm,cold, wet, or dry it will be. • Where humans live on land is mostly determined by the ocean. • In addition, the ocean provides three important resources: Food • Oxygen • Natural Resources (such as oil) Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1–3 to 1–7

  6. The Ocean Planet • Humans have seen all of the Earth’s surface, but there’s far more to discover beneath the ocean. • Without knowing much about our ocean, humans are increasingly changing it for the worse. • Commercial fishing is depleting fish. • Pollution due mainlyto overpopulation. • Crucial marine environmentsare dying off. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1–3 to 1–7

  7. The Ocean Planet • What is Ocean Literacy? • Ocean literacy means understanding the basic concepts related to how the ocean functions as anecosystem, and how and why it is vital to humanexistence. • Ocean literacy means understanding the consequences of human interaction with the sea. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1–3 to 1–7

  8. The Ocean Planet • Why is Ocean Literacy important? • It allows you to make responsible decisions related to the ocean. Decisions regarding: • How you vote responsibly. • The products and services to buy. • Managing and preserving the ocean for our own sake and others. Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1–3 to 1–7

  9. Thinking About the Process of Science in a Concept Map Life on an Ocean Planet Chapter 1 Pages 1–6 to 1–7

  10. Defining Your Study Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–8 to 1-17

  11. Marine Science • Marine Science – the process of discovering facts, processes, and unifying principles that explain the nature of the ocean, its associated life forms, and how the ocean interacts with other earth systems. Marine science is an integral part of Earth science. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–8 to 1-10

  12. Marine Science • Oceanography– the science of recording anddescribing the ocean’s contents and processes. • There are four main branches of oceanography. • Biological oceanography – studies life in the ocean. • Chemical oceanography – studies the chemistry of seawater. • Geological oceanography – studies the geology of the ocean. • Physical oceanography – studies the physics within the marine environment. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–8 to 1-10

  13. Marine Science • Technology has made marine exploration andits associated careers possible. It is throughtechnology that true marine exploration hasbecome possible. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–8 to 1-10

  14. Integrating the Sciences • Marine Science – draws on research from all three of the traditional sciences to understand what is observed in the ocean. Marine science is truly an interdisciplinary course of study. Most marine scientists have training in all three of the traditional science disciplines. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–11 to 1-13

  15. Integrating the Sciences • Marine Science draws from: • 1. Physical Science – study of matter and energy and their interactions. Physics and Chemistry. • 2. Life Science – study of livingthings and their interactionswith their environments. • 3. Earth and Space Science – studyof the physical Earth, the solarsystem, the universe and theirinterrelationships. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–11 to 1-13

  16. Studying Science Itself • Marine science involves four study areas beyond traditional science disciplines: • Science as Inquiry – applying science as a way of solving problems, answering questions. • Science and Technology – learning how science advances technology and vice–versa. • Science in Personal and Social Perspectives – how science affects you and society. • Historical Nature of Science – understanding how science evolved as a discipline. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–13 to 1-15

  17. Studying Science Itself • Situatedness is the explanation of when, where, and why a concept came about. It is important to marine scientists because in oceanography, they may apply established scientific concepts that they will never personally demonstrate or observe. Situatedness gives scientists some basis for judging the validity of scientific concepts. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–13 to 1-15

  18. Cross–Disciplinary Nature of Marine Science • Many sciences, professions, and careers draw on basic marine science. These disciplines include: atmospheric science, astronomy, ecology, biomedical research, environmental science, etc. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 15–8 to 1-16

  19. Cross–Disciplinary Nature of Marine Science • Cross–discipline areas of study include: • Math – Mathematics is the universal“language” of science that helpsyou explain the physical nature of the ocean. • History – A historical review provides insight to the past, present, and future of our ocean. A historical background provides acontext of how and why the study of oceanography has changed over time. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–5 to 1-16

  20. Cross–Disciplinary Nature of Marine Science • Cross–discipline areas of study include: • Technology – Some say technology causes problems, some say it increases our knowledge. It is really the advances in technology that has made modern oceanography possible. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–15 to 1-16

  21. Cross–Disciplinary Nature of Marine Science • Cross–discipline areas of study include: • Social Sciences – Decisions aboutthe environment may affect the lifeof others on the planet. • Literature – Announcing scientificfindings to others requires usingliterary and artistic forms. • Arts – The method of experimentationmay be in the form of videography orethnography rather than the typicalexperiment. Defining Your Study Chapter 1 Pages 1–15 to 1-16

  22. Science, Technology,Society, and You Science, Technology, Society , and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–18 to 1–34

  23. Science - A Definition • Science is a body of knowledge and an organized method used to gain knowledge about the observable universe. Science, Technology, Society , and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–19

  24. Technology – A Benefit and a Burden • A technology is a material system that produces intended results or in a general sense, knowledge of those systems. • Technology has both improved and threatened daily life. • Benefit – health care, transportation, communication, agriculture and exploration. • Burden – issues such as pollution spills and overfishing. Science, Technology, Society , and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–19 to 1–21

  25. Technology – A Benefit and a Burden • There are three broad actions that society can take with respect to the effects of science and technology on the environment: • 1. Consider the environment a lost cause and disregard the effects. • 2. Dismiss the effect as overstated by scientists and inconsequential. • 3. Prioritize the consequences in developing and applying technologies. • Without a doubt, the last broad action appears the most logical. Science, Technology, Society , and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–19 to 1–21

  26. The Scientific Method • The formal, organized steps scientists follow in proposing explanations for their observations and then testing their explanations are called the scientific method. • When you apply the scientific method, you apply scientific process skills (identifying the problem, classifying data, communicating findings, interpreting measurements, predicting outcomes, and recording data). Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–22 to 1–31

  27. The Scientific Method The Five Basic Steps to the scientific method include: 1. Identify the problem (or question). 2. Make a hypothesis – making an educated guess you can test about the answer. • You use inductive reasoningto propose a process that explainsthe facts you observe. • You use deductive reasoningto propose what you wouldobserve should a known process take place. Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–22 to 1–31

  28. The Scientific Method The Five Basic Steps to the scientific method include: 3. Test the hypothesis. 4. Interpret and analyze results – if the data supports your hypothesis, you have a theory. 5. Report results, procedures and conclusions. • Reporting results is important because it allows other scientists to verify your work and conclusions, and it allows other scientists to build on what you’ve learned. Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–22 to 1–31

  29. The Progress of Science • Because science is a process, it changes. • Science progresses through the revision of theories in the light of new evidence or better explanations of existing evidence. • Just because someone proposes a new theory and new evidence, it does not mean things change overnight. • Scientific progress also has social and scientific influences. Often, it takes acceptance by prominent scientists with noted credibility before the new theory replaces the old. Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Page 1–31

  30. Staying Current with Science • Keeping up with current trends, findings, and developments benefit you: • You can anticipate changes caused by science and technology, prepare, and advance your career with them or …. you can disregard them and spend time trying to catch up with those who don’t. Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–32 to 1–33

  31. Staying Current with Science • Keeping up with current trends, findings, and developments benefit you: • By being current you can help society handle the effects of science. • You can base your ethical evaluations, estimates, and other potential effects on accurate information. • You can then vote and voice opinions based on reality rather than on misconceptions. Science, Technology, Society, and You Chapter 1 Pages 1–32 to 1–33
