Integrating the Use of Technology and Foldable into the CSCOPE Science Curriculum (Grades 3-5) This session will demonstrate how to smoothly integrate interactive technology including Mimio®, document cameras, and interactive whiteboards into your CSCOPE science curriculum. Participants will also engage in creating a foldable as an example of formative assessment for understanding.

REVIEW FOLDABLE

Cover Square You can decorate any way you choose but it needs to include: –Your Name & the Title TAKS REVIEW Square 1

Lab Safety Always notify the teacher Square 2

Scientific Method Step by step procedures of scientific problem solving. –Identify the problem, research, forming and testing a hypothesis, analyzing results and drawing conclusions –People really hate eating apple cores! Square 3

Key Words Variable: What is changed during the experiment, it is what you are testing. Observation: What you see, touch, taste, smell or hear Inference: Reasonable conclusion based on observation Structure: The design, what it looks like, its shape Function: what it does, the purpose it serves ***Remember a good hypothesis is a statement NOT a question*** Square 4

Measurements In Science we always use the metric system (SI units) unless told differently. Liquids – liters – Graduate Cylinder Mass – grams – Triple Beam Balance Distance – meters – Ruler **They give you a ruler, Use it!** Square 5

The Sun Is our major source of energy on the Earth. It’s uneven heating of the Earth creates wind and weather It is needed for the growth of plants and animals It fuels the water cycle Square 6

Cycles Keep going & going (energizer bunny) Some are fast and some are slow Some always take the same amount of time but some don’t Life, Water, Rock, Carbon dioxide-Oxygen, Nitrogen, Lunar Square 7

Lunar Cycle Square 8 New Moon Waxing Crescent Waning Crescent 1 st Quarter 3 rd Quarter Waxing GibbousWaning Gibbous Full Moon 28 Days

Square 9

Carbon dioxide – Oxygen Cycle & Nitrogen Cycle Square 10

W.E.D. Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition leads to sediment. Sediments can compact together forming sedimentary rock layers. YO! Remember Our Song Square 11

Life Cycle of a Plant Square 12 E E He a

Metamorphosis Square 13 Metamorphosis is the changes in form that some insects go through during their life cycle.

Events & Changes that occur on a regular basis Rotation: Spinning of Earth on its axis – takes 24 hours or 1 day Revolution: Orbit around something else - Earth around Sun – takes 365 days or 1 year Lunar Cycle – monthly/28 days. Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, meaning it revolves around the Earth Tides- Two high tides and two low tides each day. Gravity holds it all together ***Remember that revolution PLUS tilt causes the seasons*** Square14

Compare Earth & Moon Square 15 Major differences between Earth & Moon Life - Life exists on Earth while no life can exist on the Moon. Water – Is found in all 3 states (liquid, solid, & gas) on Earth Earth is larger, has an atmosphere, weather and more gravity

Solar System Square 16 My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nachos

Matter A Material that takes up space and has mass. It includes air, but not light or energy States of Matter: Square 17 Solid (def. shape and volume) Liquid (no def. shape, def. volume) Gas (no def. shape or volume)

Physical Properties Are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance. Includes Magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, gas), ability to conduct or insulate heat, electricity and sound. Square 18

Mixtures When two or more substances are mixed together but can be physically separated. Sometimes the substances mix together so well that it looks as if some of the substances have disappeared, but they haven’t. If one substance dissolves in another it is called a solution. –Sugar in Tea (or water) or salt in Water Square 19

Characteristics/Properties that remain constant Freezing/Melting Point – Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius Boiling Point – Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius Square 20

Energy Energy is the ability to cause change (speed, direction, shape, or temperature of an object), it is what makes things happen. There are many different types of energy –Light –Heat/Thermal –Electrical –Solar –Chemical Square 21

Electricity can flow in a circuit and can produce… Heat Light Sound Magnetic effects Square 22 ** Remember, a circuit must be complete to work.**

Reflect/Refract Reflect – is to bounce light –Mirror –Tinted windows –Shiny surfaces Refract – is to bend light –Lenses –Cameras –Eye glasses –telescope Square 23 Light Travels in a Straight Line

Sound Every sound begins with motion. Vibrating an object can produce sound Square 24

Traits & Behaviors Traits are physical characteristics of an organism Behaviors are how we act. Some traits are inherited & some are affected by an interaction with the environment Inherited traits are passed from parent to offspring Instincts are behaviors we are born with Square 25

Adaptive Characteristics Environment can affect the survival of individuals & species Adaptive characteristics help a species survive Thick fur for winter Migration or hibernation in winter Sharp teeth – for catching & eating prey Color/camouflage – for hiding Webbed feet – for swimming Square 26

Give examples of learned characteristics & behaviors Square 27 Learned characteristics result from the influence of the environment –Playing ball –reading

Time for change to take place Natural events & human activities can alter Earth’s systems. This includes WWWI. They can be gradual (slow) or fast –Ex. of gradual – continental drift, mountain building, rock cycle –Ex. of fast – catastrophic events like earthquakes, volcanoes, & hurricanes Square 28

What happened before Square 29 You should be able to draw conclusions about “what happened before”. Trees produce rings each growing season. They are very small rings during years of drought and large rings during years of good growing conditions. The top layer of a Rock story is the youngest, and the bottom layer is the oldest.

Past Events Led to the formation of Earth’s resources. Nonrenewable: means it can never be made again (once it is gone its gone) Renewable: means it can be made again –Inexhaustible: means it does not get used up Square 30

Plants Flower color attracts bees for pollination so that the plant can reproduce Leaves catch the sunlight and take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen Roots take up water and other nutrients such as nitrogen Square 31 External characteristics allow their needs to be met

Food Webs and Food Chains LOOK AT IT – the arrows may be backwards to show energy flow but you know a grasshopper doesn’t eat a bird or a tree doesn’t eat a deer! Square 32

Energy Flow through Living Systems Producers: Organism that can produce its own food Consumers: Organism that cannot create its own food, eats producers or lower consumers. Herbivores and Carnivores. Decomposers: Organism that breaks down tissue Square 33

Modifying environment Organisms can modify their environment positively or negatively –Beavers build dams –People building highways or homes –Overpopulations of grazers –Forest fires –Deforestation Square 34

Systems Parts that work together to do a job. (Weather system, mechanical system, solar system) Ex: Body System – is a group of body organs that together perform one or more functions Square 35

Force on an Object Square 36 Force – a push or a pull Two common forces are friction and gravity –Friction – a force between two surfaces rubbing against each other –Gravity – a force that pulls two objects toward each other.
