PERCENT ERROR NAME _______________________________
EARTH SCIENCE PERIOD _________ DATE ______________
Use the formula for percent error (in your ESRT) to solve the following problems.
REMEMBER to use the three steps shown in class and to label your final answer.
1. A scientist determines the volume of a brick to be 225 cm3.

The actual volume is 230 cm3.
What is the percent error?
2. You read the temperature to be 63oF on a thermometer in direct sunlight.

The actual air temperature is 60oF.
3. The speedometer on a car reads 55 mph but it is not operating correctly.

The actual speed of the car is 60 mph.
4. When timing a falling object your stopwatch reads 45 seconds.

The actual falling time is 43 seconds.
5. A student reads the density of a rock to be 2.37 g/cm3.

The accepted value of the rock’s density is 2.25 g/cm3.
6. Convert the following numbers to scientific notation:
a. 8910000 = ___________________________
b. 4375 = ___________________________
c. 0.000540 = ___________________________
d. 230 = ___________________________
7. Convert the following numbers back to normal notation:

c. 2.61 x 10 7 = ___________________________
d. 8.25 x 10-6 = ___________________________
On the first line, write the number in scientific notation (as found on back page of your
ESRT), then on the second line write the same number out completely in normal notation.

GRAPHING PRACTICE NAME ___________________________
EARTH SCIENCE PER ________ DATE ________________
Graphs are used to show data in a manner that is easily read. In Earth Science, you will
most often use a line graph because line graphs are used to show patterns of change over
time. Below are a few basic steps to follow when setting up a line graph.
SETTING UP A LINE GRAPH
1. Use pencil, colored pencils (not markers) and a ruler!!!

2. Use a ruler to draw in X (bottom) and Y (left side) axes.
3. Determine the range of numbers needed for each axis (usually from 0 to ?). This is
done by
finding the highest number and dividing this by the number of lines on the axis. This
will tell you
how to number the axis (by 2's, 5's, 10's 0.05's, etc.).
4. Write a zero at the beginning of a numbered axis.
5. Number the axis making sure that the numbers "match-up" with the lines...NOT THE
BOXES!
6. Plot all of your data, connecting points as you go along with a ruler.
7. Design a color key for the different lines if there are more than one.
8. Label the X and Y axes appropriately, including units.
9. Develop an appropriate title using the labels for each axis. Example: Temperature vs.
Time
Always include vs. in your graph title!
10. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GRAPH!
Using the following information, set up a line graph in the appropriate manner. Follow all
rules!

average monthly temperature ((F) in 3 US cities.
GRAPH STATEMENTS AND CHANGE NAME _________________________
EARTH SCIENCE PERIOD ______ DATE __________
PART 1: Complete the line graphs by drawing in what the graph line should look like and
writing a
graph statement underneath each one.
PART 2:
On the back, sketch a graph for the following statements:
1. From January to December, the amount of daylight increases, then decreases.
2. As temperature increases, the density of a substance decreases.
3. As ocean depth increases, the water pressure increases.
4. As mass and volume increase, density remains the same.

DENSITY PROBLEMS NAME __________________________
EARTH SCIENCE PERIOD __________ DATE _________
Use the density formula and density triangle to solve

the following problems. Remember. . . 3 steps!
Please round all answers to the nearest 10th.
1. Calculate the following about the mineral quartz:

a. A sample of quartz has a mass of 16.2 g and a volume of 6 cm3.
What is the density of this quartz sample?
b. A larger sample of quartz has a volume of 40 cm3.

Based on this information determine the mass of this quartz sample.
2. Calculate the following about a sample of sea water.:

a. A student has 100 ml of sea water. He found the mass of the sea water to be
153.8 g.
What is the density of the sea water?
b. The same student has another sample of sea water with a mass of 77 g.
What is the volume of this sample of sea water?
3. Calculate the following about a piece of wood:

a. A piece of wood has a length of 3 cm, a width of 5 cm and a height of 2 cm.
When placed on a balance it had a mass of 20 g.
What is the density of this piece of wood?
