Bellwork- Day 1

• We have all seen objects where their purpose or function is unknown to us. In most cases you can use prior knowledge about something similar to figure out what the unknown object is or does.

• Take a look at this object.

1. Write down what you think it could be based on its parts.

2. When you are done, think about a time in your own life where making good observations had a significant outcome. Be ready to share.

1

Have SLATE, MARKER, & ERASER on DESK!

Page 2: Bellwork - Day 1

Science is:

• Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding

Page 3: Bellwork - Day 1

Objective for today

• You will be able to make accurate observations using basic lab tools.

Page 4: Bellwork - Day 1

1. Observations

-DO use senses or sense words (tastes like, feels, etc)-DO NOT use thinking, guessing, or predicting words-DO NOT use opinion words.-CAN use a tool/measurement (microscope, telescope, etc)

Observations can be qualitative (characteristics) or quantitative (numbers)

Page 5: Bellwork - Day 1

Observation example

After a large spicy meal:-burning feel in chest-acid taste in mouth-stomach pains-smell of food is “re-visited”

Page 6: Bellwork - Day 1

Your turn- using your slates• Write an O on your slate if something is an

observation, and NO if it is not• 1. The mouse weighed 12 grams• 2. The fish is angry• 3. The tumor was more dense than the other

tissue• 4. The coyote made the rabbit flee• 5. The sun will rise tomorrow

Pill Bug Observations

• You will be observing pill bugs today in the lab.

• With a partner, write down in your note-taker tools you could use to observe your pill bugs as well as ways you could ETHICALLY observe behaviors.

Page 8: Bellwork - Day 1

• Look at the picture. In 12 words or less explain why this picture is a NON-example of good observations.

Page 9: Bellwork - Day 1

Bellwork (Day 2)Pass out Notebooks during BW!

Read the absent & makeup work policy on the back of the syllabus (share with your neighbor if they don’t have theirs).

1. After reading- why is attendance so important?2. Who is responsible for getting makeup work?

3. When you are finished- write down as many science fair experiments as you can think of (think about ones you saw at the junior high or high school science fair)

Page 10: Bellwork - Day 1

Objective and Purpose

1. Develop an appropriate problem statement

Purpose: In order to begin an experiment you must be able to select an appropriate question and ensure that it is testable.

Page 11: Bellwork - Day 1

Day 2: Problem Statement

• This is the question you want to answer

• It must be in the form of a question.

Page 12: Bellwork - Day 1

Problem statement example• Which antacid form will dissolve the fastest?

Versus

Broken Solid

Page 13: Bellwork - Day 1

Your Turn

• Based on observations you have made about the school or the classroom, form three problem statements.

• Example- Does time of day effect the temperature in the classroom?

Page 14: Bellwork - Day 1

Go to the lab and observe your pill bugs

• Generate up to10 questions about the pill bugs and add them to your notetaker.

• You will do an experiment to answer one question next week!

Page 15: Bellwork - Day 1

Problem statements must be testable

T.E.R.M.=• Treatment- What is being changed in one or

more of your set-ups?• Ethical- Are all organisms/participants being

treated in a an appropriate manner? • Repeatable- Could you do the test multiple

times?• Measurable- Can you collect data?

Page 16: Bellwork - Day 1

• Group practice- thumbs up if it passes TERM and thumbs down if not

Page 17: Bellwork - Day 1

• At what height will someone fall and break a bone?– unethical

• Will the volcano erupt?– Not repeatable and no treatment

• Do plants grow better with or without fertilizer?– YES!!

• Is the fish happy?– Not measurable

• How long is the fish?– No treatment

Page 18: Bellwork - Day 1

Think back to your pill bug questions…

• Identify the questions that meet T.E.R.M. Star those questions

Page 19: Bellwork - Day 1

Closure1. As a group, fill out the TERM sheet for ONE question

2. Raise hand & get approval stamp from Ms. D

3. After stamp: whole group should copy the question into the closure space on your notetaker & turn the purple sheet in to front.

**After your group finishes, please read the “STUDENT EXPECTATIONS” & “CLASS CALENDAR” section in your green syllabus.

Page 20: Bellwork - Day 1

Bellwork (Day 3) Pass out Slates & Notebooks during BW!

1. These statements have words in them that do not belong in observations. Re-write these statements and turn them into good observations:A. The yellow paper made the pill bug moveB. The pill bug is really longC. The pill bug is smellyD. The pill bugs like to clump together

2. What is the treatment for this question: “How does the temperature of water affect the distance a pill travels?”

3. How can you measure pill bug “movement” or “behavior”? Be specific…what tools do you need & what units/numbers will you record?

Page 21: Bellwork - Day 1

Improve Question & finish 20+ observations in lab (10 mins)

Treatment: Be specific, describe each set-up you will have (need 3+ set-ups).

Ethical: Tell me what precautions you need to take to make sure the pill bugs are not harmed

Repeatable: How many trials will you do for each set up? (need 5+ for most experiments)

Measurable: Tell me which tools & units you will use to measureWhen finished: Go to lab to add to observations

Page 22: Bellwork - Day 1

Objective

• Formulate a testable hypothesis

Page 23: Bellwork - Day 1

PurposeIt is VERY important to practice how to make a proper hypothesis that will be tested using the scientific method. The purpose of scientific experiments is to test your hypothesis.

Experiments are also fun (GO SCIENCE GO)

Page 24: Bellwork - Day 1

Day 3. HYPOTHESIS

• Prior knowledge, research, & observations are all used to form a hypothesis

• We will use an If…Then….as measured by…….statement

Page 25: Bellwork - Day 1

Hypothesis- antacid example

• If the crumbled and solid tablets are placed in water at the same time, then the crumbled antacid will dissolve the most quickly as measured by the length of time bubbling occurs.

Page 26: Bellwork - Day 1

Hypothesis Practice

1. What condition is being tested? (IV) 2. What results are expected? (your prediction)3. With what tool and units will these results be measured? (DV)

Tractable Question: Which form of antacid willdissolve faster?

Good HypothesisChecklist

Page 27: Bellwork - Day 1

Hypothesis- underline your example

• If the crumbled and solid tablets are placed in water at the same time

• If the crumbled and solid tablets are placed in water at the same time, then the crumbled antacid will dissolve the most quickly

• If the crumbled and solid tablets are placed in water at the same time, then the crumbled antacid will dissolve the most quickly as measured by the length of time bubbling occurs.

Page 28: Bellwork - Day 1

On your slate• Write your own hypothesis about which

department (science or math) would win in a dodge ball game. Then circle the three parts

Page 29: Bellwork - Day 1

Try it: Look at the problem question your group had approved

• Make a hypothesis using the if…then…as measured by format. Write it on your notetaker.

Page 30: Bellwork - Day 1

ClosureIf a new student joined your lab group on Monday,

you would need to help them get caught up on scientific method quickly.

Write a short note explaining what we’ve learned about scientific method so far. (Look back through your notetaker)

Page 31: Bellwork - Day 1

Bellwork (Day 4) Pass out Slates & Notebooks during BW!

• Please read the handout on Sow Bugs. DO NOT WRITE ON IT.

1. Please write 5-10 bullet point notes summarizing what you learned about sow bugs

Page 32: Bellwork - Day 1

Objective and Purpose

• Objective: Identify independent variables, dependent variables, and a control group in the design of an experiment.

• Purpose: An experiment that does not have controls or isolated variables is meaningless because you don’t know what is causing your outcomes.

Page 33: Bellwork - Day 1

Experiment

• Test your Hypothesis by isolating one variable and holding the rest constant

• Identify your Dependent and Independent Variables.

• List your procedures.

Page 34: Bellwork - Day 1

Variables

• Independent- The one the scientist manipulates (What is different in each set up)

• Dependent- The one the scientist measures in response to the change

Page 35: Bellwork - Day 1

Remember this problem:• Which antacid form will dissolve the fastest?

Versus

Broken Solid

Page 36: Bellwork - Day 1

Antacid experiment

• Which variable is different in each set up? (independent)

• Which variable will I measure at the end or throughout the experiment? (Dependent)

• What is the same in each set up? (Constants)

Page 37: Bellwork - Day 1

With your partner: think-pair share

• If you want to see which fertilizer works best for growing tomato plants, what would be your independent variable and dependent variable?

Page 38: Bellwork - Day 1

On your slateIdentify the Independent variable, dependent variable

and 2 constants in the following experiment:• To find the best fertilizer Emma takes two 5

month old tomato plants and keeps them in the same size pots outside on her porch. She gives them 5 grams of fertilizer each week. One plant gets Miracle Grow and one gets Mighty Plant. At the end of three months she measures the height of each plant.

Page 39: Bellwork - Day 1

In your experiment with the pill bugs

• Determine your independent variable and dependent variable & write on your note taker.

Page 40: Bellwork - Day 1

The control group

• In experimentation, group of subjects or conditions that is matched as closely as possible with experimental group, but is not exposed to any experimental treatment. A control group is used as a standard, to detect and measure changes that may occur in the experimental group due to experimental treatment.

Page 41: Bellwork - Day 1

What could be the control group?

• To find the best fertilizer Emma takes two 5 month old tomato plants and keeps them in the same size pots outside on her porch. She gives them 5 grams of fertilizer each week. One plant gets Miracle Grow and one gets Mighty Plant. At the end of three months she measures the height of the each plant.

Page 42: Bellwork - Day 1

In your experiment with the pill bugs

• Determine a control group & record it on your note taker.

Page 43: Bellwork - Day 1

Procedures

• This is the detailed numbered list of steps that other people could use to replicate your experiment

• On your slate, write out the steps to brushing your teeth

Page 44: Bellwork - Day 1

Switch slates

• If you had never brushed your teeth before, would you be able to do so if you followed these steps exactly?

They must be detailed!

Page 45: Bellwork - Day 1

Develop detailed steps for your pill bug experiment & write 1 group rough draft (choose recorder).

Get approval stamp when done!

After approval everyone copies procedures onto

notetaker

Page 46: Bellwork - Day 1

Closure- on back of purple half sheet

1. Write out a list of materials you need for the pill bug experiment (include amounts!)

2. Decide who is bringing what & put their names next to each material

3. If you need something from Ms. D ask ASAP!

4. Turn into front basket!
