Review Safety Materials Safety Test Organize for the week Today’s class Review Safety Materials Safety Test Organize for the week Write the table of contents and label each page

Table of Contents 8 or 10 – Sponge Bob Scientific Method and Safety 9 – Science Thoughts 8/7 – 8/11 11 – graduated cylinder practice 12 - Brain pop videos – scientific method 13 – scientific method cut and paste 14 – observation and inference (3 activities) 15 – intro to scientific method (2 pages) 16 – Can you Spot the Scientific Method 17 – Scientific Method – controls & variables (3 pages) 18 – The Scientific Method 19 - Reflection

Science Thought 8/8 What is the first step in the scientific method? Based on observation, state a problem.

Today in class Station 1 – Measurement Station 2 – Brain Pop videos Entry #11 – graduated cylinder practice WS (1 page) AND measure length (3), mass (3), volume (3) Station 2 – Brain Pop videos Entry #12 - Brain pop videos – scientific method (1page) AND measuring matter, precision and accuracy Station 3 – Cut and Paste Entry # 13 – scientific method cut and paste (1 page) Entry#14 – observation and inference (1 page) Station 4 – Read and Respond Entry#15 – intro to scientific method (2 pages) Entry#16 – Can you Spot the Scientific Method (1 page) Entry#17 – Scientific Method – controls & variables (3 pages)

Science Thoughts 8/9 How do you find the volume of a non cubic object? Displaced Volume: see how much water rises

Today in class Station 1 – Measurement Station 2 – Brain Pop videos Entry #11 – graduated cylinder practice WS (1 page) AND measure length (3), mass (3), volume (3) Station 2 – Brain Pop videos Entry #12 - Brain pop videos – scientific method (1page) AND measuring matter, precision vs accuracy Station 3 – Cut and Paste Entry # 13 – scientific method cut and paste (1 page) Entry#14 – observation and inference (1 page) Station 4 – Read and Respond Entry#15 – intro to scientific method (2 pages) Entry#16 – Can you Spot the Scientific Method (1 page) Entry#17 – Scientific Method – controls & variables (3 pages)

Science Thoughts 8/10 What is the difference between observation and inference? Observation is a fact based on input from your senses. Inference is a logical guess of why things are the way they are.
