1 Grade 1 Nature of Science Big Idea 1: The Practice of Science Quarter 1 Topic 1 Practicing Science
Department of Science

2 Grade 1 Pacing Guide Topic 1: Practicing Science
SC.1.N.1.1 Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them in teams through free explorations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations. SC.1.N.1.2 Using the five senses as tools, make careful observations, describe objects in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion, and compare their observations with others. SC.1.N.1.3 Keep records as appropriate – such as pictorial and written records – of investigations conducted. SC.1.N.1.4 Ask “How do you know?” in appropriate situations. MAFS.1.OA.1.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems1 involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

3 What is a Scientist? Engage and Explain: Read a picture book about what scientists do. What is a Scientist? By Barbara Lehn or Scientists Ask Questions by Ginger Garrett. Students can share with class what they learned or know about being a scientist. Have them use the clip art in the slide also.

4 Scientists… …ask questions.
Explore: Have students look around the classroom and ask questions. You can show something specific like a plant or a picture from a book and have them ask questions. Department of Science

5 Scientists… …predict. Explore: Ask students to predict what could be in the box the girl is holding? Could it be a ball? Why or why not? Could it be a kitten? Why or why not? Continue with more examples. You could have a box or a bag with an object in it and have students predict what is in side. You can give clues. Department of Science

6 Scientists… …observe. Explore: have students observe one of their school supplies using their senses. Department of Science

7 How do Scientists Make Observations?
Scientists use their Five Senses Sight - Looks Touch - Feels Hearing – Sounds when moving… Odor – Smells Tastes Click on hyperlinks for content videos: Five Senses

8 Observing a Fruit A simple sheet whereby children draw their chosen fruit in the middle and write words to describe what it looks; tastes; smells and feels like; in boxes around the edge. Could be edited for a variety of uses. Or the next slide could be duplicated. Department of Science

9 Explore: Give each student a small piece of fruit to observe and record observations on this lab sheet. Have students share out their observations. Start this 5 senses a class chart using words from students fruit observations. Add students senses words as they do observations. Department of Science

10 Scientists… …investigate. Department of Science

11 Scientists… …record data.
Explore: Collect data and record: How many boys and girls are in the classroom? Who writes with their left hand and who writes with their right hand? Etc. Department of Science

12 Scientists… …share. Department of Science

13 What are the Five Senses?
Department of Science

14 Our 5 senses are... Department of Science

15 Which sense would you use to read a book?
Department of Science

16 Which sense would you use to listen to the teacher?
Department of Science

17 Which sense would you use to smell this beautiful flower?
Department of Science

18 Which sense would you use to taste this ice cream?
Department of Science

19 What would you use to feel this teddy bear?
Department of Science

20 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
How do you observe? You use your Five Senses to observe. You gather information about objects or things that happen. Engage and Explain: Open Discovery Education on the employee Portal and click on the hyperlink Five Senses to play a Discovery video on the 5 senses. Explore: SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS ACTIVITES FOR EACH SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL CAN BE FOUND IN THE SCOTT FORESMAN ACTIVITY BOOK. OBJECTIVES: Demonstrate how to ask questions about the natural world. Investigate and explore questions in teams freely and be able to to generate explanations. Use Five senses to make careful observations.

21 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Practice Communicating To communicate means to share what you learn. You can use words, pictures, or charts.

22 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Practice Estimating and Measuring You can make a guess to estimate how big an object is. Then find out the size by measuring. Department of Science

23 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Practice Collecting Data You collect data by recording what you observe. You can use words or make a table, chart, graph, or picture. Department of Science

24 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Practice Predicting You predict by telling what you think might happen. Department of Science

25 SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Practice Investigating and Experimenting You can investigate and experiment by making a plan to solve a problem. Then you follow the plan to see what happens. Department of Science

26 DROPS ON A PENNY SC.1.N.1.1 SC.1.N.1.2 SC.1.N.1.3 SC.1.N.1.4
Department of Science

27 How many drops of water will fit on a penny?
Materials: Eyedropper/Clean medicine bottle dropper Cup of Water Penny

28 PROCEDURES Predict how many drops of water will fit on a penny.

29 PROCEDURES Use an eyedropper to slowly add drops of water to one side of the penny, counting each drop.

30 How many drops of water will fit on a penny?
DATA TABLE PREDICTION ACTUAL NUMBER OF DROPS Compare the difference between my prediction and the actual number of drops. Department of Science

31 Reflection Questions If you tried this activity with a larger coin, would there be more or less drops of water? What would happen if you tried this experiment with another liquid like orange juice or milk? Would there be more or less drops of water? Department of Science

32 Draw yourself as a Scientist.
Students will use science journals to draw themselves as scientists. Department of Science

33 Practicing Science Processes Match Up
Observing Communicating Measuring Collecting data Predicting Investigating Share what you learned Making a plan to solve a problem Using words, make a table, chart, graph, or picture, to record what you observe You use your senses Telling what you think might happen The size or weight of an object Department of Science
