Define the following words using the handbook in the back of your textbook. (pgs R1 – R35)
1. Hypothesis - Tentative explanation for an observation or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
2. Independent variable - The factor that you wish to test and that is manipulated or changed so that it can be tested.
3. Dependent variable - The factor that you measure to gather results
4. Control variable - A variable that is the same in every way possible except for the factor you wish to test.
5. Manipulate - Changing something so it can be tested6. Operational definition - description of the one
particular way in which you will measure the dependent variable.
7. Qualitative Observation - Observations that include descriptions of sights, sounds, smells and textures.
8. Quantitative Observation - Observations that can be expressed in numbers and include records of time, temperature, mass, distance and volume.
9. Prediction - An expectation of what will be observed or what will happen.
10. Inference - A logical conclusion drawn from the available evidence and prior knowledge; often made from observations.

Change Control Variable to Constant!!
Independent variable – comes after the “if” in hypothesis.
Dependent Variable – Come after the “then” in hypothesis. Operational Definition
•Several ways to measure something, define how you want to
•Usually found in procedure•This helps people to know what you
did and build off of it
Ticket out the door:
Make a T-Chart or Write Sentences describing how the
egg represented Earth’s layers in our activity. Also, list what layer of the Earth was not accurately
represented in our model?
Quiz Day!• Sit quietly and review for your quiz,
you don’t need to write anything down YET.
*You will need a pencil and a scrap piece of paper out and ready to use.

Lithosphere:•Earth’s curst and the uppermost part of the mantle•The most rigid of all the layers•Is broken into many small slabs of rock•Sits on top of the asthenosphere
Asthenosphere: •Layer of hotter, softer rock in the mid-mantle•Flows slowly like tar•Layer that the lithosphere floats on top of
Tectonic Plates:•Small and large slabs of rock in the lithosphere•Fit together like a jigsaw puzzle•Include both continental and oceanic crust
Warm Up: 1. Write a sentence using each of the following
words. DO NOT simply rewrite the definition:
1. lithosphere2. tectonic plates3. asthenosphere
