Wednesday 8/15 Agenda Write Learning Goal Bell Ringer We Do – Review Lab Safety I Do – Introduce PL Unit - PreTest We Do – Unpack the benchmark

Learning Goal and Bell Ringer Wednesday 8/15 What does environment mean to you? What does scientific method mean? Learning Goal (multiple this week) I will be able to differentiate the parts of the scientific method. Benchmark SC.912.N.1.1 Define a problem based in Environmental Science, and complete the scientific method to reach your own conclusion. SC.912.N.3.4 Recognize that theories do not become laws, nor do laws become theories; theories are well supported explanations and laws are well supported descriptions. Learning Goal Monday Tuesday Friday Thursday Weekly Prefixes

Review Safety Quiz Missed questions Important Safety concepts

What is PL? How Does it work? Objectives: Pose questions about the natural world Conduct systematic observations Examine books and other sources of information to see what is already known Review what is known in light of empirical evidence Plan investigations Use tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data Pose answers, explanations, or descriptions of events Generate explanations that describe natural phenomena Differentiate theory and law Use appropriate evidence and reasoning to justify these explanations to others Communicate results of scientific investigations Evaluate the merits of the explanations produced by others   Pre-Test Score: ________ Topic: Scientific Method Benchmark: SC.912.N.1.1 Define a problem based in Environmental Science, and complete the scientific method to reach your own conclusion.
