What is a scientist?
Someone who uses theprocesses of science tofind answers about how and why things work…
…in the world.
…in the observable universe.

• This is what makes science an adventure full of discovery and wonder.
• Science isn’t simply a body of facts,but the way you analyze those facts.
• Doing this analysis is called the“scientific process” and whenyou use it, you are a scientist.

The Ocean Planet
• The ocean produces two influences vital to life on Earth.Weather and world climate
patterns dictate how warm,cold, wet, or dry it will be.
Where humans live on land
is mostly determined by the ocean.• In addition, the ocean provides three important
resources:Food • Oxygen • Natural Resources (such as
oil)Lif

The Ocean Planet
• Humans have seen all of the Earth’s surface, but there’s far more to discover beneath the ocean.
• Without knowing much about our ocean, humans are increasingly changing it for the worse.Commercial fishing is
depleting fish.Pollution due mainly
to overpopulation.Crucial marine environments
are dying off.

Why is Ocean Literacy important? It allows you to make responsible decisions
related to the ocean. Decisions regarding:• How you vote responsibly.• The products and services to buy.• Managing and preserving the ocean for our

Marine Science
Marine Science – the process of discovering facts, processes, and unifying principles that explain the nature of the ocean, its associated life forms, and how the ocean interacts with other earth systems. Marine science is an integral part of Earth science.

Marine Science
• Oceanography – the science of recording anddescribing the ocean’s contents and processes.
• There are four main branches of oceanography.Biological oceanography – studies life in the
ocean.Chemical oceanography – studies the chemistry
of seawater.Geological oceanography – studies the geology
of the ocean.Physical oceanography – studies the physics
within the marine environment.

Integrating the Sciences
Marine Science – draws on research from all three of the traditional sciences to understand what is observed in the ocean. Marine science is truly an interdisciplinary course of study. Most marine scientists have training in all three of the traditional science disciplines.

Integrating the Sciences
Marine Science draws from:1. Physical Science – study of matter and energy
and their interactions. Physics and Chemistry.2. Life Science – study of living
things and their interactionswith their environments.
3. Earth and Space Science – studyof the physical Earth, the solarsystem, the universe and theirinterrelationships.

Studying Science Itself
Marine science involves four study areas beyond traditional science disciplines:Science as Inquiry – applying science as a way
of solving problems, answering questions.Science and Technology – learning how science
advances technology and vice–versa.Science in Personal and Social Perspectives –
how science affects you and society.Historical Nature of Science – understanding
how science evolved as a discipline.

Studying Science Itself
Situatedness is the explanation of when, where, and why a concept came about. It is important to marine scientists because in oceanography, they may apply established scientific concepts that they will never personally demonstrate or observe. Situatedness gives scientists some basis for judging the validity of scientific concepts.

Cross–discipline areas of study include: Math – Mathematics is the universal
“language” of science that helpsyou explain the physical nature of the ocean.
History – A historical review provides insight to the past, present, and future of our ocean. A historical background provides acontext of how and why the study of oceanography has changed over time.

the environment may affect the lifeof others on the planet.
Literature – Announcing scientificfindings to others requires usingliterary and artistic forms.
Arts – The method of experimentationmay be in the form of videography orethnography rather than the typicalexperiment.

Technology – A Benefit and a Burden
• A technology is a material system that produces intended results or in a general sense, knowledge of those systems.
• Technology has both improved and threatened daily life.Benefit – health care, transportation,
communication, agriculture and exploration.Burden – issues such as pollution spills and
overfishing.

Technology – A Benefit and a Burden
• There are three broad actions that society can take with respect to the effects of science and technology on the environment:1. Consider the environment a lost cause and
disregard the effects.2. Dismiss the effect as overstated by scientists
and inconsequential.3. Prioritize the consequences in developing and
applying technologies.• Without a doubt, the last broad action appears the
most logical.

The Scientific Method
• The formal, organized steps scientists follow in proposing explanations for their observations and then testing their explanations are called the scientific method.
• When you apply the scientific method, you apply scientific process skills (identifying the problem, classifying data, communicating findings, interpreting measurements, predicting outcomes, and recording data).

The Scientific Method
The Five Basic Steps to the scientific method include:
1. Identify the problem (or question).2. Make a hypothesis – making an educated guess you can test about the answer.You use inductive reasoning
to propose a process that explainsthe facts you observe.
You use deductive reasoningto propose what you wouldobserve should a known process take place.

The Scientific Method
The Five Basic Steps to the
scientific method include:
3. Test the hypothesis.
4. Interpret and analyze results – if the data supports your hypothesis, you have a theory.
5. Report results, procedures and conclusions.Reporting results is important because it allows
other scientists to verify your work and conclusions, and it allows other scientists to build on what you’ve learned.

The Progress of Science
• Because science is a process, it changes.• Science progresses through the revision of
theories in the light of new evidence or better explanations of existing evidence.
• Just because someone proposes a new theory and new evidence, it does not mean things change overnight.
• Scientific progress also has social and scientific influences. Often, it takes acceptance by prominent scientists with noted credibility before the new theory replaces the old.

effects of science.You can base your ethical evaluations, estimates,
and other potential effects on accurate information.
You can then vote and voice opinions based on reality rather than on misconceptions.
