Warm Up Today’s warm up is to get your spiral and table of contents up to date. Page 1- Safety Contract Page 2 – Safety Logo Notes Page 3 – Blank (for now) Page 4 – ABC Assignment Page 5 – Scientific Method Flipbook Page 6 – Scientific Method Notes

Choose 5 careers that you would be interested in Homework Tonight: Highlight/circle/ or underline 5 careers you’d be most interested in. Print 5 pictures of those 5 careers and write why you are interested in that career choice. This will go on page 3 in your notebooks.

Turn to page 6 in your Spiral The methods of Science Turn to page 6 in your Spiral Write the learning goal at the top of the page (small) Write the following critical question below the learning target. The answer to this question will go on the top of the paper on page 5 How do scientists answer questions and solve problems? The Scientific method can be applied to ANY testable questions! NOT JUST SCIENCE QUESTIONS!

Why didn’t my boyfriend or girlfriend meet me after class? ANY TESTABLE QUESTION!! Why didn’t my boyfriend or girlfriend meet me after class? Why is there so much traffic around 7:00 in the morning? Why does an iPad block charge an iPhone faster than a smaller charging block? If I post a selfie on instagram in the morning it will get more likes. If I give Coach K some starburst will the amount of homework decrease? Why does my hair fall flat before 3rd period?

Scientific Method Sort With a partner sort the cards in the order you think is the scientific method Leave them in that order! You’ll get time to fix it later

Scientific Method Big Bang Theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7sSuhQ1_24 Big Bang Theory Scientific Method For example Leonard made an observation and proposed a question Formed a Hypothesis. If I ask Wolowitz a question, then he will relate it back to the space center Designed/Tested the experiment “Where should we go eat?” Further Research Sheldon tested the hypothesis They came to a conclusion He relates everything back to the space center

Science Experiment Hypothesis The methods of science Science Hypothesis Is a process that uses observation and investigation to gain knowledge about the world around us educated guess or testable prediction Format: If I do __________ , then ___________ (will happen), because ________. Experiment A procedure to validate or refute a hypothesis

Observation: Hypothesis: For Example Observation: My boyfriend (or girlfriend) did not meet me after class Hypothesis: If I take the long way to the gym then my boyfriend (or girlfriend) won’t meet me after class, because it will make him late. Experiment: Take the normal way to the gym, take a short route to the gym, and take a long route to the gym

In experiments you will have variables Dependent Variable Independent Variable Part of the experiment that is observed because of the independent variable; part of the experiment that is & measured Part of an experiment that is purposely changed Independent – I changed Control Variable The part of the experiment that remains unchanged throughout & Constants The part of the experiment that remains similar in both groups

Control: Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: Experiment Continued Independent Variable: The route I took to the gym Dependent Variable: the amount of time it took to get to the gym Control: The normal route taken Constants or Control : the location (school), my mode of transportation to the gym (I walked.. Didn’t run…skip…hop…skateboard)

You water three sunflower plants with salt water You water three sunflower plants with salt water. Each plant receives a different concentration (amount) of salt solutions. A fourth plant receives pure water. After a two- week period, the height of the plants are measured. Ind. Variable amount of salt in solution Dep. Variable height of the plant Control Group (or variable) plants receiving water only

Scientific Method Card sort Do you need to rearrange anything? Propose a question Research (to become educated) Form a hypothesis (educated guess) Design and Perform Experiment Gather and Analyze Data Further Research (Was your hypothesis right or wrong?) Conclusion

Hypothesis lead to theories Scientific Theory Scientific Law A rule or summary of theories that describe patterns in nature, but don’t explain why they happen Laws can be measured, theories cannot Ex: Law of Gravity Well tested hypothesis that are explanations based on scientific experiments Ex: Cell Theory Hypothesis is an educated guess or testable question Theory is a well tested hypothesis that has been repeatedly verified Law is a summary of multiple theories that describe patterns in nature

Fold the paper hamburger style Flip Book Fold the paper hamburger style Write the steps of the scientific method AND your OWN EXPERIMENT EXAMPLE!!!!! Write what the step is on the inside of the book Then paste it into your spiral on page 5
