Points Question or puzzle to solve Answer (can be text, screenshots from Gizmos, or combos of both)

5pts (SC.5.N.1.1)Use the Growing Plants Gizmo to identify the variables in the experiment.

Investigate how changing these variables affect the growth of plants. Select data on the Gizmo and conduct several experiments and interpret the plant’s growth outcome in terms of Mass and height. Predict how changing one of the variables will affect the plant’s mass and height. Draw conclusions on how changing the variables, affect the plant’s mass and height.

5pts (SC.5.N.2.1)Open the Phases of Water Gizmo. Identify the 3 states of matter. Use the temperature control to heat the pot of water. Observe as the experiment moves through 3 of the states of matter. Predict the phase of water at the six temperatures given below.

Finally, at what temperature does water move from one state of matter to the 3 states of matter

5pts (SC.5.N.2.2)Use the various measuring tools provided in the Measuring Volume Gizmo to complete several challenges.Start by selecting the practice button.

After completing a few practice problems complete the following task and after each task. When you have finished each one, take a screenshot and add it to a document. Label each image with the volume.

● Fill the 25-mL graduated cylinder with 11.5 mL of water.

● Fill the 100-mL graduated cylinder with 76.0 mL of water.

● Fill the 50-mL graduated cylinder with 38.5 mL of water.

Observe the accuracy of each measurement:

Next, suppose you needed to measure exactly 15.0 mL of water for an experiment. Which graduated cylinder would be the best one to use, and why?

5pts SC.5.E.5.3Gizmo: Solar SystemList the following solar system objects in order. Identifying if they are rocky, gaseous, or if they have any moons.Solar System Objects: Neptune, Mercury, Sun, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus.

Solar System object

Rocky or Gaseous?

Moons?

10pts SC.5.E.7.1Gizmo: Water CycleUse the Gizmo to create a path of water. Make sure to include all three states; Gas, Liquid, Water

Switch to the Path tab. Export the path and paste it here. Add a column to identify the state of the water at that moment.

. Record your path on this image:

5pts SC.5.E.7.3

Gizmo: Coastal Winds and Clouds

In the Gizmo, check the Weather Probe box. Drag the weather probe to various places and altitudes (on land, on water, right where the land and water meet) and observe how wind speed and direction change at different times of the day.When does a sea breeze typically occur?When does a land breeze typically occur?

5pts SC.5.E.7.3

Gizmo: Hurricane Motion

In the Gizmo check the Show Weather Station Data box. Drag the hurricane to the three different weather stations. Observe how wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure and cloud cover change as the position of the hurricane changes.What happens to cloud cover as a hurricane goes further away?What happens to barometric pressure as a

hurricane comes close?How do winds change direction around a hurricane?

5pts SC.5.P.8.1

Gizmo: Phase Changes

Choose Micro view. Observe the motion of the molecules. Use the Add/Remove heat energy slider to remove or add heat energy and change the phases. How does the behavior of the molecules change when the phase changes?Observe the volume of the water. Now freeze it all. What happened to the water’s volume when it all turned to ice?

5pts SC.5.P.9.1Use the Gizmo Phases of Water to determine at what temperature water changes from..solid to liquid?liquid to gas?gas to liquid?liquid to solid?

10pts SC.5.P.10.1Using the Energy Conversion Gizmo, select Information Mode, click on each of the different items in the scene and read about each one.

.

Observe which objects converts sunlight into sugars; converts wind power to electricity; converts light to electricity; converts electricity to light.Select Path mode and choose different items to observe where its energy comes from.With Path mode still selected, discover how energy is changed from one form to another. Start with the sun and create sound. Give a description of each Energy Conversion along the way

10pts SC.5.P.10.2Use the Sled Wars Gizmo. Check the “Show Energy” box. 1. Notice that energy is measured in joules (J). In the table, record the potential and kinetic energy of the sled at the top of the slope, about halfway down, and at the bottom. (Use the Pause button to stop the sled halfway down.) Record your data in the chart.

A. How do the potential and kinetic energy change as the sled moves down the slope?

A. Add the potential and kinetic energy for

each location to find the total energy. What do

you notice about the total energy?

What happens to the energy when the sled stops?

energy conversions).

10pts (SC,5P.13.1 & SC.5.P.13.2)Open the Force and Fan Cart Gizmo. First, test the features by changing items such as the fan speed, the surface, distance travelled and speed of the cart.

Next, perform the following experiment:● Change the surface to wood and change

the carts fan speed to low. Press play. What was the cart’s final speed? Press Reset

● Change the fan speed from low to medium. Press Play. What was the cart’s final speed?

Draw conclusion: Did the cart speed up more quickly with the fan on Low or Medium?Generalize: On Medium the fan provides more force than on Low. Make two rules by filling in the blanks below. (Put the same word in both blanks.) Force causes the ________________ of the cart to change. If more force is used, the ________________ of the cart changes more quickly.

Predict:● Select the DATA tab.● Choose Bar graph or Line graph.

○ This graph shows the cart speed over time. How would the graph be different if the fan were on High? Why?

Test: Check your prediction with the Gizmo. What do you observe?

5pts (SC.5.L.14.1

Use the Digestive System Gizmo to explore the organs of the digestive system.

Build your own digestive system! Start with the Large Organs tab to build a basic system, starting with the Mouth/pharynx. Next, attach organs from the Small organs tab to the large organs to complete your system. Draw a picture of your system below.Click the screenshot icon to take a snapshot, and then paste the image into a blank document to hand in with this worksheet.)
