  1. 2013-2014 Note taking and the Scientific Method

  2. Your Science Notebook! LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE • STUDENT NOTES • Drawings • Mind maps • Venn diagrams • KWL charts • Group work • SQ3R notes • Self-reflections • J-TPS • QUESTIONS!!! • TEACHER NOTES • Class notes • Laboratory notes • Science vocabulary • Standards • Objectives

  3. On the right side TABLE OF CONTENTS Page #Topic 1 The Scientific Method ((This side should be blank))

  4. Turn the page

  5. Number the right side pages only!! 1

  6. Number the right side pages only!! Turn the page again… 2

  7. Number the right side pages only!! and again… and again… 3

  8. ICONS for Note-taking: = write this information in your notebook! RIGHT SIDE = Quick check: grab a whiteboard and a dry erase marker = Think Box- J-TPS, your thoughts, sentences, bullet points, drawings LEFT SIDE

  9. Brain Bubble Whenever you see this icon, draw a visual representation of the idea you are learning about on the LEFT SIDE • Sometimes this will be a diagram, • Sometimes it will be an analogy • Sometimes it will be something that only you understand!

  10. Turn to page #1 1

  11. Date: August ____, 2013 Standard IE 1.a: Students know how to distinguish between hypothesis and theory as scientific terms. The Scientific Method

  12. On the left side The Scientific Method Date: August _____ 2013 Standard IE 1.a: Students know how to distinguish between hypothesis and theory as scientific terms Q: What’s the difference between hypothesis and theory??

  13. Does your notebook look like this? Yes! GOOD! The Scientific Method Date: August _____ 2013 Standard IE 1.a: Students know how to distinguish between hypothesis and theory as scientific terms Q: What’s the difference between hypothesis and theory??

  14. Observation • gathering information using your five senses: • sight • hearing • taste • touch • smell

  15. On the right side The Scientific Method • Date: August _____ 2013 • Standard IE 1.a: Students know how to distinguish between hypothesis and theory • as scientific terms • Observation • Gathering information using your 5 senses • Sight • Hearing • Taste • Touch • Smell Q: What’s the difference between hypothesis and theory??

  16. Does your notebook look like this? Yes! GOOD! The Scientific Method • Date: August _____ 2013 • Standard IE 1.a: Students know how to distinguish between hypothesis and • theory as scientific terms • Observation • Gathering information using your 5 senses • Sight • Hearing • Taste • Touch • Smell Q: What’s the difference between hypothesis and theory??

  17. Data • Information gathered from your 5 senses Quantitative - can be counted (5 chairs, 10,000 students) Qualitative - cannot be counted (blue sky, long hair, spicy food)

  18. Quantitative or Qualitative?T or L Blue sky qualitative-L 25 clouds quantitative-T Sixty-eight degrees quantitative-T 10 ipods quantitative-T Smelly feet qualitative-L 95% correct quantitative-T Most wonderful teacher in the world Mrs. D’Andrea Seven Billion People quantitative-T

  19. Inference: • A logical interpretation based on prior knowledge or experience (you figure it out based on stuff you already know!)

  20. Aproposed scientific explanation for a set of observations-if…then… Hypothesis MUST BE TESTABLE!!!

  21. On the left side J-TPS: Justify- Think- Pair- Share Think Pair Write your thoughts 1 min Steal your neighbor’s ideas 2 min Share and collect the best ideas from the class 3 min Share

  22. J-TPS (Justify- Think-Pair-Share) Is the following sentence a good Hypothesis? If you die, then you will go to heaven? Why or why not?

  23. Theory: a WELL-TESTED explanation for a series of observations Examples: Gravity, Evolution, Cell Theory, Germ Theory http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/11/2/quicktime/e_s_1.html

  24. Theories… • are based on lots and lots and lots of experiments • are supported by lots and lots and lots of evidence. • can change, but only SLIGHTLY (a little bit) if new evidence is found.

  25. How do you feelabout all of this? Sorry, but science doesn’t involve feelings or beliefs! Science uses data from observations and evidence from investigations to draw conclusions and make predictions about the way the world works. Science should avoid bias! Most scientific questions don’t actually have real answers- they just open up more questions!

  26. Working with a partner, make a table to compare hypotheses and theories

  27. HypothesisvsTheory

  28. Let’s see… EXIT SLIP!!

  29. Investigation and Experimentation Units of Measurement, Graphing, and Data Analysis in Science

  30. Standards (IE) Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other four strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will: • IE a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology (such as computer-linked probes, spreadsheets, and graphing calculators) to perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data.

  31. Objectives: • gain an understanding of the basic units of measurement in science. • use a basic tool of measurement to gain accurate data, graph the data, and analyze it. • to collect and analyze multiple sources of data/scientific evidence.

  32. What is matter? • Matter-any substance that has mass and takes up space

  33. How is matter measured in science? • Mass-the amount of matter a substance/object has (grams) • Volume-the amount of space a substance/object takes up (liters) • Length-the distance between points (meters)

  34. Mass Volume Length Triple-beam balance Graduated cylinder/beaker Meter stick/ruler What are the tools of measurement in science?

  35. Mass-Triple-beam balance

  36. Volume-Graduated Cylinder

  37. Length-Meters

  38. How are graphs used in Science? • Visually shows the relationship between two variables • Independent variable (x-axis)-causes a change in the dependent variable • Dependent variable-measureable outcome (y-axis) • Graphs are used to display and analyze data from experiments and observations

  39. Data Analysis in Science • Data is collected. • The data is displayed in graphs. • The data is analyzed (ie patterns, trends, and insights). • Scientific Thinking-Evaluation of results and hypotheses

  40. Line Graph Pie Graph Bar Graph Used to track changes over short/long periods of time. Compare parts of a whole. Used to compare between different groups or track large changes over time. When are the different types of graphs used?

  41. Collaborative Mode Graphing Practice. • Locate the Graphing Lab in the file cabinet. Complete the lab with a partner • Please review the expectations for collaborative station.

  42. Summary Questions: • How is matter defined? • What are some of the tools scientists use to measure matter? • How are graphs used in science?

  43. How well do you understand the difference between a hypothesis and a theory? 4 = I totally understand it and I could explain it to someone else  3 = I mostly understand it but I would have difficulty explaining it to someone else = I understand some of it, but there are still some parts that are confusing 1 = I do not understand it at all 

  44. Vocabulary • Entirely- • Reproduce • Asexually • Develop • Response • Unfavorable

  45. Daphnia are small creatures that live in water. They are almost entirely female and reproduce asexually (they don’t need a partner). However, malesare sometimes observed in water with low oxygen or when there is not a lot of available food. Based on these observations, a researcher suggests that male Daphnia develop in response to unfavorable environmental conditions. This is an example of a A) result. B) theory.C) procedure. D) hypothesis.Explain:

  46. The Scientific Method: Designing an Experiment Standard: Objective:

  47. Watch this! Monty Python… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrzMhU_4m-g Write down at least 3 things the villagers did (scientifically) wrong: 1. 2. 3.
