Study Hall: Work quietly at your seat (homework, study, draw, read, etc.)

NO TALKING. NO EXCEPTIONS.

SIT IN ASSIGNED SEATS.

Warm Up : on a scrap piece of paper

• Complete the following math problems:

2 x 6 10 x 9 4 x 5 8 x 2 6 x 2 9 x 7 9 x 3 4 x 67 x 4 7 x 3

Were you right???

2 x 6 = 12 10 x 9 = 90 4 x 5 = 20 8 x 2 = 16 6 x 2 = 12 9 x 7 = 639 x 3 = 27 4 x 6 = 247 x 4 = 28 7 x 3 = 21

Interactive Notebooks

I looked through the notebooks……

• We need review our Table of Contents and check for all activities (these need to be glued on the right side)

Interactive Notebooks

• Go to the Table of Contents • 1: Scientific Process:

– This will be all the notes you took on the left side from the PowerPoint presentation

Interactive Notebooks

• Stay at the Table of Contents • Write ‘2: Cut and Sort Activity’

– This is the cut and sort activity (scientific method, airplane example and flower example) you placed on the right side

Cut and Sort Scientific Method

• Flip through your notebook to this activity Scientific Method Steps Example 1 – Airplanes Example 2 - Flowers

Purpose How can I make this airplane fly farther My flowers are having a problem growing

Research I know that paper airplanes fly better when they have wing flaps; I use tape; and they have some kind of “nose”

Here are the things I am already doing: I water my flowers everyday, they have good soil, and they are in the shade

Hypothesis I think that airplanes with pointed noses will fly farther than ones with square noses

I am guessing that my flowers will grow better in the sun than in the shade

Experiment Steps: 1) make 2 paper airplanes 2) Make one nose square 3) throw each plane 10 times 4) measure the distance 5 ) graph

I move one pot of flowers to the sun and keep one pot in the shade. I do not change anything else. During a week, I collect the following data: flowers in sun grow 9 inches ; flowers in shade grow 5 inches

Analysis My graph shows that the plane with the square nose went farther than the pointed nose one….

I compared the measurements after one week. I think about the fact that the flowers in the sun are taller.

Conclusion My hypothesis was wrong. I thought that the pointed-nose airplane would go farther, but actually the square-nose one went farther.

Therefore, I know that my flowers grow better in the Sun than in the shade.

Inference and Observation Statements

• Flip through your notebook to this activity Ms. Sproule’s hair is brown.Groups usually have four students.If she leaves, she’s probably boredThe rock is hard.My hand has lines on it.There is snow on the ground so it’s probably cold outside.Photos are usually 4 in x 6 in. Ten times a day I drink water.I have lots of friends.The computer lab has 32 computers.There is snow on the ground.My friend’s dog is small. Ms. du Pont is probably grouchy because she didn’t sleep well.I’m hungry.The iced melted because it is hot outside.I asked 4 questions today.

Gym class makes me tired.It is 10:34am.The rain last night probably made my car look clean.The remote has more than 10 buttons.I’m hungry because I forgot breakfast.The average number of students in a school is 863.My pajamas are soft.There is only one Mr. Disibio.I overslept by 23 minutes. We wear white in the summer to stay cool.IPhones have one main button.Sometimes my sister is annoying.No one likes to be cold.One person is missing.The doctor’s appointment took too long.

• Go back to the Table of Contents • Write ‘4: Smarties Lab’

Smarties Lab• Flip through your notebook to this activity

• Name: _____________________________________________________ Block: __________ Date: __________• • Smarties Lab

• Purpose: What is the Problem?

• How much do you know about Smarties? Do you think you know what the most common color of Smarties is?

• (circle) YES NO

• Research: Gather Information

• You probably won’t find any information about colored candies in the library. Most likely, your best sources of information are experts, people who have experience with colored candies. Look around, and you will find some experts. In fact, you may be an expert yourself! Use your pre-existing knowledge and the knowledge of your team to answer the following questions.

• • Which colors do Smarties come in? _____________________________________________________________________• How many Smarties come in a serving piece? _____________________________________________________________• Which colors show up most commonly? _________________________________________________________________• Do you think there is one color that shows up the most? (circle) YES NO• If you think there is one color that shows up the most, which do you think it is? ________________________

• Go back to the Table of Contents • Write ‘5: Introduction to Matter’

Today we are…

• Going to be studying matter and investigating atoms, molecules, and elements.

Introduction to Matter

• Go to the next free page on the left side of your notebook.

• Write ‘5’ in the top corner – Label the page ‘Introduction to Matter’

What is Matter!

• Introduction to Matter : http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/introduction-to-matter/1730652/

• Stop at 2:26 min/sec

• We are going to be taking notes now

Take notes on left side

Matter – what is it?• Matter = all of the objects and living things in

the universe (examples)

• Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space

• Matter is made of particles too small to see known as atoms

Take notes on left side

Mass – what is it?

• Mass = the amount of matter in an object

• (Mass is similar to weight but not the same, if you could count the number of atoms in something, then that is its mass)

Take notes on left side

Volume - what is it?

• Volume = the amount of space something takes up or occupies

On the right side of your notebook..

• Draw two boxes that are the SAME size.

• Now put small dots in one

• Put big dots in the other.

Demonstration

• Look at the 2 boxes you drew….

• Answer these questions under the boxes you drew on the right side of your interactive notebook:

• Which container has more volume? Grapes container or raisins container

• Which has more mass? Grapes or raisins

Demonstration

Under the boxes you drew write: The boxes have the same volume but the raisins and grapes have different masses.

Graphic Organizer

• You will each receive a graphic organizer. • Follow along as we fill this in together.

MatterMolecules

Atoms

Elements

Write in your Graphic Organizer

In the Matter oval in different color markers, colored pencils or crayons…1. Write THREE examples of matter 2. Write THREE non-examples of

matter

Atoms and Molecules

• Video on atoms and molecules• Source: http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/atoms-and-molecules/2003366/

End at 8:00 min mark

Take notes on left side

Atoms• Atoms = smallest building blocks of matter; • Matter is made of particles too small to see

called atoms • Remember the sewing pin: 500,000,000,000,000 atoms on the head of a sewing pin

Take notes on left side

Atoms• Atoms have mass• Atoms are the smallest units of

elements

• Even though we can not see atoms, large collections of atoms are all around us!

Take notes on left side

Molecules

• Molecules: the smallest unit of a substance that has 2 or more atoms bonded (put) together

Take notes on left side

Molecules• Molecules can be the same type of atoms bonded

together (O2 molecule = air we breathe)(O3 molecule = ozone)

• Molecules can be different types of atoms bonded together

(H2O = water molecule)
