Chapter 2 Science, Systems, Matter, and Energy Summary 1. Science is an attempt to discover the natural world?s order and use that in describing what is likely to happen in nature. Scientists ask a question or identify a problem to investigate. Then, they collect scientific data through observation and measurement. Experiments may be used to study specific phenomena. 2. The major components of complex systems are environmental inputs, flows within the system, and outputs to the environment. 3. The basic forms of matter are elements and compounds. Matter is useful to us as a resource because it makes up every material substance. 4. The major forms of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Energy is useful to us as a resource because it moves matter.

APES ID: Chapter 12 ? Food, Soil, and Pest Management Distinguish between chronic under-nutrition (hunger) and chronic malnutrition. People who cannot grow or buy enough food to support their basic energy needs suffer from chronic under-nutrition or hunger. Chronic malnutrition is caused by protein and key nutrient deficiency. What 3 systems provide most of the world?s food? Distinguish among the following types of agriculture: croplands, rangelands, and oceanic fisheries industrialized agriculture- high input agriculture, using heavy equipment and large amounts of financial capital, fossil fuel, water and commercial fertilizers and pesticides to produce single crops or monocultures.

SAND, SIEVE, AND STARE CHALLENGE Get ready students, we are having a contest to determine which group is?. THE KINGS, AND/OR QUEENS, OF THE BEACH!!!!! You will be given 6 sets of samples that you must weigh, measure, observe, feel, and SIFT! Your powers of sieving and observation will be put to the ultimate test as you try to figure out which sand came from where. Good luck, and if you prove yourselves, you will receive a very useful prize to use in future scientific endeavors? Directions to Analyze Prepared Sand Remember, take your time and record all data properly! Stations 1, 3, and 5 directions: 1. Stack the sand sieves with the coarsest (4mm) on top followed by the remaining sieves in decreasing size, and finally the catch pan on the bottom.

environmental science

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences, (including but not limited to Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Soil Science, Geology, Atmospheric Science and Geography) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.[1] Related areas of study include environmental studies and environmental engineering. Environmental studies incorporates more of the social sciences for understanding human relationships, perceptions and policies towards the environment. Environmental engineering focuses on design and technology for improving environmental quality.
