    Study Notes

    Scientific Arguments

    • Scientists use evidence, data, and observations to make scientific arguments.
    • These arguments are often based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning.

    Rocky Planets

    • Rocky planets are those that are composed primarily of rock and metal.
    • Examples of rocky planets in our solar system include Mercury, Mars, Earth, and Venus.

    Characteristics of Rocky Planets

    • Rocky planets are typically small in size and have a solid surface.
    • They have a dense core and a thin atmosphere.

    Earth System

    • The four spheres of the Earth System are:
      • Geosphere (solid and rocky parts of the planet)
      • Atmosphere (gases surrounding the planet)
      • Hydrosphere (water in all its forms)
      • Biosphere (living organisms and their interactions)

    Communication in Science

    • A channel is the medium through which a message is conveyed.
    • A claim is a statement or assertion made by a scientist to explain a phenomenon.

    Models in Science

    • Scientists use models to simulate and understand complex systems and phenomena.
    • A scientist might use a model to see how a lake was formed, for example, to understand the geological processes that shaped the lake's formation over time.
