  3. Table Roles • Each table has a number • Each table has a letter • If you are by yourself, I will assign you to a table during labs A: Materials Manager B: Spokesperson C: Facilitator C: Level 0 H: Raise hand A: Instruction M: None P: Listening

  4. Do Now:Copy this into your science notebook Activity 1: Into the FieldSeptember 8, 2014 Vocabulary Centimeters Observation Millimeters Metric System Challenge Questions What makes an observation a good observation? C: Level 0 H: Raise hand A: Do Now M: None P: Writing

  5. Vocabulary Centimeters: In the metric system, centimeters are 1/100th of a Meter. Observation: Data that has been recorded. Opaque / Transparent / Translucent: Something that can be seen through; ghosts are opaque/transparent/translucent. Metric System: The system of measurements used in science and the rest of the world.

  6. Science Composition Notebooks • Taking notes / to take notes • Projects • For work • For research • To learn more in class • To organize information

  7. Making Observations Directions: In your science notebook, describe as best you can the student in seat C. You have three minutes. Student C will then leave the room and make two small changes. When he or she returns, your job is to figure out what he or she changed. C: Level 2 H: Raise hand A: Table work M: Only student C P: Writing

  9. Lab Work: Making Observations • Page A-5: Read procedures as a class. • Prepare your science notebook • Materials Manager: Teacher will call you up to collect your supplies • Materials Manager: After 10 minutes, teacher will call you to get your labels • Spokesperson: Share your group’s work with the class • CLEAN UP!

  13. Observations • In science: • You make observations of data • You always record your data • Your data / observations tell you the answer to your hypothesis • Your data / observations tell you if more experimentation and/or a new hypothesis is needed C: Level 0 H: Raise hand A: Do Now M: None P: Writing
