Earth Science: This field focuses on Earth's structure and
composition, as well as the processes that change
Earth, such as volcanic and seismic activity.
Physical Science: The scientific study of nonliving matter. Ex:
chemistry, physics, and Earth science.
Astronomy: The study of the moon, stars, and other objects in
space.
Controlled Experiment: An experiment in which only one variable is
manipulated at a time..
Independent Variable: The variable that is manipulated in an experiment.

Dependent Variable: The outcome factor; the variable that may change
in response to manipulations of the independent
variable.
Control Variable: A variable that is kept constant during a controlled
experiment.
Observational Study: The systems are observed as they appear in nature
and researchers do not attempt to change them.
Laboratory Experiment: Researchers study the system of interest in a highly
controlled artificial setting (lab).

Physical Model: A physical representation of an object. Ex: Scaled
down version of the solar system.
Conceptual Model: A verbal or graphical explanation for how a system
works or is organized. Ex: posters, charts.
Mathematical Model: Uses different forms of data to represent the way a
system or process works. Ex: formulas, graphs,
mathematical means. Ex: F=ma (formula).
Computer Model: A computer program that models an event or
object. Important in explaining and predicting
natural phenomena. Ex: weather patterns, solar
system.
