(3 minutes to work with your partner.)
Scientific Method:Pretty Red Heads Like Animal Crackers
• Purpose- What does the Scientist want to know more about?
• Research - Gather Information

• Can be:
• Qualitative: factual descriptions that do not use numbers.
• Ex. John has blue eyes
• Quantitative: - factual descriptions that do use numbers.
• Ex. John has 2 eyes.
Inferences
• Inferences: a possible explanation or guess about an observation.

Graphing NotesCOMPONENTS OF GRAPHS
• Title: The main idea of the graph; Explains what the graph shows.
• Good example: The effect of x axis on y axis.
• Bad example: The Line Graph• Horizontal Axis (x-axis): Runs from left to right; The
manipulated variable (independent variable) .
• Vertical Axis (y-axis): Runs from top to bottom; The responding variable (dependent variable) .
• Legend/Key: Indicates the meaning of the symbols, colors, or patterns used.
Graphing Notes
• Line Graph: Shows patterns and trends in the data (usually over time) and have several sets of data plotted on them to easily show a comparison.
Graphing Notes
•Bar Graph: Uses bars to compare items, especially averages and totals.
Independent and Dependent Variables
• Independent Variable: The variable that is changed by the experimenter in order to measure the impact of the change on one or more Dependent Variables. • -X axis
• Dependent variable: dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being changed• -Y axis
Draw table in your notes.
• Label the Independent Variable side. Label the Dependent Variable?

Water Use Report: How Much Water Do I Use?
• Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to:• Identify the many uses of water in our daily lives.
• Determine the amount of water that is used in various activities.
• Explain that our water supply is limited.
• Background Info: How much water do you use everyday in your home? Would you be surprised to learn that according to the USGS the average American uses between 80-100 gallons (approx. 300 - 375 liters) of water per day? Do you think people in other parts of the world use more or less water than Americans? Well, this collaborative project will help you find out the answers to these questions. By collecting data on water usage from people around the world you will be able to see how your water use compares to others and determine what you might do to use less water.
Water Use Report: How Much Water Do I Use?
• Research: Use the following water conservation sheet and find 10 facts about water use (ways to save water, organizations that are trying to save water, etc…)
• Hypothesis: (after collecting water use data). Choose one or two of the water conservation ideas that you can use at your house and make a hypothesis about the amount of water you could save by making changes.
• Experiment: • Part 1- Fill out the Water Use chart for one week.
• Part 2- Fill out the Water Use chart after making changes in your water use practices.
• Analysis: TBA
• Conclusion: TBA

Water Use Lab: How Much Water Do I Use?
•Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to:
• Identify the many uses of water in our daily lives.
•Determine the amount of water that is used in various activities.
•Explain that our water supply is limited.
• Background Info: How much water do you use everyday in your home? Would you be surprised to learn that according to the USGS the average American uses between 80-100 gallons (approx. 300 - 375 liters) of water per day? Do you think people in other parts of the world use more or less water than Americans? Well, this collaborative project will help you find out the answers to these questions. By collecting data on water usage from people around the world you will be able to see how your water use compares to others and determine what you might do to use less water.
Water Use Report: How Much Water Do I Use?
•Research: Use the following water conservation sheet and find 10 facts about water use (ways to save water, organizations that are trying to save water, etc…) • Write them under Research!
Water Use Report: How Much Water Do I Use?
• Hypothesis: (after collecting water use data). Choose one or two of the water conservation ideas that you can use at your house and make a hypothesis about the amount of water you could save by making changes.
• Experiment: • Part 1- Fill out the Water Use chart for one week.
• Part 2- Fill out the Water Use chart after making changes in your water use practices.
• Analysis: TBA
• Conclusion: TBA
