Observation of Patterns :
Observation of Patterns Analyzing data and information involves searching for patterns.
Patterns helps scientists make predications about the world around them.
Stationary Physical Patterns :
Stationary Physical Patterns The periodic table is a good example that displays the organization that has occurred due to the properties of the elements
Elements are organized into vertical columns based on patterns of chemical periodicity
Patterns of Motion :
Patterns of Motion Weather is an example of a pattern of motion.
By using their knowledge of weather patterns, scientists can predict what weather will be like in all parts of the country.
Patterns of Motion :
Patterns of Motion Another example is the position of the constellations.
The motion of the stars supports that the Earth orbits the sun in a predictable pattern.
This same pattern is also responsible for the different seasons you experience throughout the year.
Describing Pattern in Systems :
Describing Pattern in Systems System-is a group of related objects or processes that work together
Subsystem-a group of related objects or processes that make up part of a larger system
An example: cell-tissue-organ are subsystems that make up an organ system
Changes in Systems :
Changes in Systems By studying systems patterns can be observed to determine if the system is stable or undergoing some sort of change.
Monitoring Change :
Monitoring Change By monitoring scientists can identify problems and improve a system’s stability.
Collected quantitative data this helps scientists to describe and interpret change in a system.
