Unit 1
Lesson 1

2. Observe- Use of all five senses to collect information
Investigation- A procedure carried out to carefully observe, study or test something in order to learn more about it.
Science- The study of the natural world, involves making observations and performing investigations
Observe- Use of all five senses to collect information
Compare- Finding ways objects are similar and different
What are some types of Evidence? How can you prove your findings? (talk about photographic evidence)
Evidence- Information collected during a scientific investigation

3. Inference- An idea or a conclusion based on an observation
Opinion- A belief or judgment. It doesn’t have to be proven or backed up with evidence.
Communicate- Ways to share the results of investigations
Order- To place objects or events in the correct sequence
Observe and observation
Inference and Infer
Communication is key!!
Classify- Organize objects or events into groups based on specific characteristics
Knowledge- Facts and information collected over time

6. 5th Grade Unit 1 Lesson 3 What are some types of investigations?

7. Scientific methods: the ways scientists perform investigations
experiment: an investigation in which all conditions are controlled
Prediction: a statement based on information about a future event

8. When do Scientists use Repeated Observations?
Too
FAR AWAY,
When something is too BIG!
Or too
UNCONTROLLED

9. When do Scientists use models?
Too
FAR AWAY,
When something is too BIG!
Or too
UNCONTROLLED

10. Computer simulation models Diagrams and flow charts
Model: a representation of an object or process that allows scientists to study in greater detail
Types of Models
Physical models
Computer simulation models
Diagrams and flow charts

11. When do Scientist use models:
When something is too LARGE,
or too complex.
too small

12. Control: the set up to which you will compare all the others
Hypothesis: a statement that can be tested and will explain what can happen in an investigation
Variable: any condition in an experiment that can be changed
Control: the set up to which you will compare all the others
Controlled Variable: any condition in an experiment that can be controlled

13. 7 Steps in Controlled Experiments
Ask Questions
Hypothesize
Design and Experiment
Carry out the procedure
Record and Analyze Data
Evaluate the hypothesis
Draw Conclusions

14. Data Displays:
Line Graphs: shows change over time
Bar Graphs: compares things or groups
Circle Graphs: compares parts to the whole
Diagrams: shows data that does not include numbers

15. Science 5 Unit 1 Lesson 5 What are Some Science Tool?

16. Microscopic- anything too small to see with your eyes
Accurate- when a measurement is close to the true size
Spring scale- tool used to measure force
Newton- a unit used to measure force (N)

18. Mass- measures grams, milligrams, kilograms, etc.
Pan Balance- tool used to measure mass
gram- a metric unit of mass

19. second- a metric unit of time
Degrees Celsius- a metric unit for temperature
Meter- a metric unit of length

20. Graduated Cylinder- A tool used to measure volume
Volume- amount of space a solid, liquid, or gas takes up
Graduated Cylinder- A tool used to measure volume
liter- a metric unit of volume

22. Observation: Use of all five senses to collect information Investigation: A procedure carried out to carefully observe, study or test something in order to learn more about it. Hypothesis: a statement that can be tested and will explain what can happen in an investigation Controlled variable: any condition in an experiment that can be changed while still remaining under control

23. Collecting data: collecting, observing, locating or acquiring of information
Accuracy: when a measurement is close to the true size
Mass: measures grams, milligrams, kilograms, etc.
Volume: amount of space a solid, liquid , or gas takes up
graduated cylinder,
2. beaker,
3. flask

24. 7 steps in Scientific Method (controlled experiments) Ask Questions
Which scientific measurement would you use to measure the length your hand? Centimeters (cm) What might you use a collecting net for in science? Collecting butterflies for observations, or small organism in a body of water.
7 steps in Scientific Method (controlled experiments)

25. Why would a scientist build a model
Why would a scientist build a model? A scientist might build a model when they cannot use the real thing. When would a scientists use repeated observations? A scientist might use repeated observations with when something is too big, too far away or to uncontrolled for experiments What is one thing all scientists do to learn? Experiment

26. * What are four tools used for observing?

27. Why is communication so important among scientist
*Why is communication so important among scientist? Scientist communicate in order to learn from each other
*Why do scientists conduct investigations? Scientist conduct investigations to
-obtain evidence,
-Test ideas
-Collect information
-To check their explanation
Study, study, study!
