The study of the universe is called cosmology. Cosmologists study the structure and changes in the present universe. The universe contains all of the star systems, galaxies, gas, and dust, plus all the matter and energy that exists now, that existed in the past, and that will exist in the future. The universe includes all of space and time.

Science is more about gaining knowledge than it is about simply having knowledge. Science is a way of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic. In other words, science is a process, not just a body of facts. Through the process of science, our knowledge of the world advances.

Darwin finally published his theory of evolution by natural selection in 1859. He presented it in his book On the Origin of Species. The book is very detailed and includes a lot of evidence for the theory. Darwins book changed science forever. The theory of evolution by natural selection became the unifying theory of all life science.

The diagram illustrates the cross section of the Earth's crust and what causes Earthquakes. A Fault is a fracture in the EarthÕs crust separating two blocks of the Earth's crust that slide against one another during an earthquake. The Epicenter is the point on the EarthÕs surface located directly over the Focus, where the most violent tremors are felt. The Focus is also a point in the EarthÕs crust where an earthquake is triggered. Also called the Hypocenter. Shown also are the Wave fronts or seismic waves which is a series of vibrations generated at the focus that disperse in all directions, causing shaking of the EarthÕs surface. A fault scarp is a small step or offset on the ground surface where one side of a fault has moved vertically with respect to the other. They are characterized by uneven landscapes. Fault scarps may be only a few centimeters or many meters high.

Seismic waves are the energy from earthquakes. Seismic waves move outward in all directions away from their source. Each type of seismic wave travels at different speeds in different materials. All seismic waves travel through rock, but not all travel through liquid or gas. Geologists study seismic waves to learn about earthquakes and the Earths interior.

Moving magma shakes the ground, so the number and size of earthquakes increases before an eruption. A volcano that is about to erupt may produce a sequence of earthquakes. Scientists use seismographs that record the length and strength of each earthquake to try to determine if an eruption is imminent.

Scientists are a long way from being able to predict earthquakes. A good prediction must be detailed and accurate. Where will the earthquake occur? When will it occur? What will be the magnitude of the quake? With a good prediction authorities could get people to evacuate. An unnecessary evacuation is expensive and causes people not to believe authorities the next time an evacuation is ordered.

An earthquake is sudden ground movement caused by the sudden release of energy stored in rocks. Earthquakes happen when so much stress builds up in the rocks that the rocks rupture. The energy is transmitted by seismic waves. Earthquakes can be so small they go completely unnoticed, or so large that it can take years for a region to recover.

Shown in the diagram are the six types of simple machines. A simple machine is a mechanical device that makes work easier. It includes the inclined plane, wedge, lever, wheel and axle, screw and pulley. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is slanted, or inclined, so it can help move objects across distances. A common inclined plane is a ramp used to lift heavy objects in a back of a truck. Instead of using the smooth side of the inclined plane to make work easier, you can also use the pointed edges to do other kinds of work. When you use the edge to push things apart, this movable inclined plane is called a wedge. An ax blade is one example of a wedge. Any tool that pries something loose is a lever. Levers can also lift objects. A lever is an arm that turns against a fulcrum (the point or support on which a lever pivots). Think of the claw end of a hammer that you use to pry nails loose; itÕs a lever. The Wheel and Axle makes work easier by moving objects across distances. The wheel (or round end) turns with the axle (or cylindrical post) causing movement. On a wagon, for example, a container rests on top of the axle to help transport heavy objects. A Screw helps you do work is that it can be easily turned to move itself through a solid space like turning a jar cover to keep it the jar air tight. Instead of an axle, a wheel could also rotate a rope, cord, or belt. This variation of the wheel and axle is the pulley. In a pulley, a cord wraps around a wheel. Instead of an axle, you can use the wheelÕs rotation to raise and lower objects, making work easier. On a flagpole, for example, a rope is attached to a pulley to raise and lower the flag more easily.

Science is more about gaining knowledge than it is about simply having knowledge. Science is a way of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic. In other words, science is a process, not just a body of facts. Through the process of science, our knowledge of the world advances.

Investigations are at the heart of science. They are how scientists add to scientific knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world. Scientific investigations produce evidence that helps answer questions. Even if the evidence cannot provide answers, it may still be useful. It may lead to new questions for investigation. As more knowledge is discovered, science advances.

Water is a transparent common substance that makes up the earth's oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, streams and more. Water is essential for every living thing to replenish and hydrate. The chemical formula for water contains one oxygen atom to two hydrogen atoms. Everything from the earth's crust to the human brain contain great amounts of water. Water on earth is continually being used and then goes through the water cycle to become new and usable again. The water cycle involves evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and runoff. Even though water does not have any calories or nutritional benefit it is essential to all living forms on earth. Fishing which occurs in salt and fresh type waters yields much food for the world's people. Water even involves exercise for those who like to swim and engage in other sports like water skiing, wakeboarding and so on.
