1. Study Hall: Read a book, do homework, look at my magazines, draw a picture. No talking. No exceptions.

2. Warm Up (on a scrap piece of paper) What is an observation? Define in your own words Look at the image below & make 3 observations No Talking…No Exceptions

3. Housekeeping / Announcements Did anyone remember…. Parent Survey Signed Syllabus CMS Forms Homework: Q uiz tomorrow on Scientific Process! After the quiz, we will trade and grade and track our mastery. Afterwards, we will begin our Smarties activity.

4. Continue writing notes on the left side Observations Any information collected with the senses. – Sight – Smell – Taste – Touch – Hearing

5. Continue writing notes on the left side Two types of observations: Quantitative Qualitative

6. Continue writing notes on the left side Quantitative It is measureable or countable » 3 meters long » 4 marbles the quantity of something (can be a length, a weight, a temperature for example) Think: QuaNtitative: N = Numbers

7. Activity: on the right side of your notebook 1.Draw a picture of something quantitative 2. Write a quantitative statement your picture. My Quantitative example: my flower has 5 petals

8. Continue writing notes on the left side Qualitative Qualitative: describes something that can be observed but not measured. For example: smells like fresh baked cookies tastes bitter sky looks red and orange

9. Qualitative Activity Think back to the picture you drew….. Now describe your picture with a qualitative statement My Qualitative example: I see a flower with leaves and petals

10. Continue writing notes on left side Inferences Definition: Conclusions you make based on your different observations Multiple observations lead to inferences observation + observation  inference

11. Let’s check our understanding How do we observe? Observations can be _________ & ________ We know many observations lead to _________

12. Continue writing notes on left side Inference Practice: What inference can you make from these observations ? I hear people screaming I smell popcorn and cotton candy Hamburgers cost $5.00 each I see a lot of people in line Now, turn and talk with your partner

14. More Practice The Case of the Mystery Footprints

15. Look at these two sets of animal tracks. On the right side of your notebook: Write Animal Tracks and list 3 OBSERVATIONS Now make an INFERENCE

16. Now what do you think? Make more 3 OBSERVATIONS (right side) Make an INFERENCE (right side)

17. Now what do you think? Make 3 more OBSERVATIONS (right side) Make an INFERENCE (right side)

18. Classifying : Inferences & Observations You will work with your table partner to complete this activity As a pair, you will read each statement together and discuss if the statement is an Inference or an Observation

19. Classifying : Inferences & Observations When you and your partner agree, write ‘I’ for inference or ‘O’ for observation beside each statement Example: Ms. Sproule’s hair is brown ‘O’

20. Graphic Organizer Completion When you finish classifying each statement: Copy at least 6 inferences into the oval Copy at least 6 observations in the rectangle under the correct column heading: Quantitative (can be measured, a number) Qualitative (can only be observed, not measured)

21. Graphic Organizer Now make up : 3 inferences – add to the oval 2 qualitative observations 2 quantitative observations add to rectangle

22. Graphic Organizer into Interactive Notebook Take and fold your graphic organizer and glue into your notebook on the right side

23. Review for Quiz Use the remaining time in class to study for your quiz tomorrow!
