Presentation transcript:

Station 1: Classroom and Lab Safety Name the safety equipment in the classroom and discuss why you would use it. What are the steps you need to follow after conducting an experiment?

Station 2: Inferences & Observations (Qualitative and Quantitative) Observation: Something you see, hear, taste, smell or touch Qualitative – Describes the Quality Quantitative – Measured in Quantity (numbers) What can I use to make Qualitative observations? What can I use to make Quantitative observations? Inference: an explanation of an observation or a conclusion that is drawn.

Station 3: Scientific Method Know the Scientific Method in Order Be able to identify an example of each Purpose – Question Hypothesis – If…Then… Materials – BULLETED List Procedure – NUMBERED List with ACTION words at the beginning Data – Tables / Charts / Graphs Conclusion – An answer to the purpose that makes a practical application for the results and summarizes the data. Independent VS Dependent Variables

Station 4: Analogies Practice your analogies! Make sure that your first pair has a relationship the SAME way as the second pair. Example: Data Collection : Data Display :: Table/Chart : Graph Data Collection has a relationship with Data Display the same way that Table/Chart has a relationship with Graph Example: Data Collection : Table/Chart :: Data Display : Graph Data Collection has a relationship with Table/Chart in the same way that Data Display has a relationship with Graph. **Be very careful and pay attention to the order that the analogies are written. They can be written in many different ways. Be sure that the first pair goes together in the same way as the second pair.

Station 5: Finding Mass, Volume & Density Know how to find Mass, Volume and Density. Know the definitions of each! Water Displacement: Finding the volume of an irregularly shaped item. Know the steps of the process. Know the formula for finding Density. You have to find the mass and volume first!! Know that Density is a RELATIONSHIP between Mass & Volume. You cannot measure it on it’s own.

Station 6: Units of Measurement Know your units of measurement and what you use to measure them. Know the definition of each type of measurement (ex. mass, volume, density, distance / length) and what lab equipment items you use to measure each. Know the Conversion Steps from Metric Mania and when it is appropriate to use the different units. (Ex: When should I use Kilometers instead of meters?)

Station 7: Charts/Tables & Graphs Where to the Independent and Dependent variables go on a GRAPH? When and why should I use the different types of Graphs? Line Graph – Change over time Pie / Circle Graph – Parts of a whole, fractions Bar Graph – When you are taking a “snap shot” of data that does not change Be able to come up with a good title for a graph using its IV and DV Identify/come up with a Purpose Question for a Chart or Graph

Station 8: Free Study Review your Science Notebook and returned papers. Come up with possible test questions and quiz a partner.
