The Scientific Process

Science can help us address environmental challenges such as rising sea levels, the threat of natural hazards, access to resources, and changes to our climate system. This video uses a variety of examples from the geosciences and real life to provide an introduction to the processes of science. We discuss quantitative and qualitative data in terms of the composition of Earth’s atmosphere and rocks formed by volcanoes. We describe interpretation using examples such as a large historical earthquake in the Pacific Northwest and the relationship between student grades and class attendance. Finally, we include a short activity for you to practice making observations, generating hypotheses, and making predictions. • Visit our blog to access a quiz associated with this video (https://geosciencevideos.wordpress.com) and to see other assessment resources, annotated video resources and a description of how we built a lesson around this video and several class activities.
