Scientific Method Vocab. Back of 5 WordMeaning InvestigationThe search for an answer to a question. InferenceAn explanation based on what you already know or what you have seen Direct evidenceEvidence that comes from measurements, tests, or observations. Indirect evidenceEvidence based on an inference ProcedureA planned set of steps TrialA repeat of an observation or test to get accurate data.
Lab Report Concluding Paragraph Outline The hypothesis was (rejected/accepted) The hypothesis stated (rewrite your hypothesis). The investigation was conducted by (tell what you did). The result of the investigation showed (what were the results).
Lab: Airplane Noses page 7 Pointed or Blunt? Problem: Which paper airplane will fly the furthest, a pointed nose or a blunt nose? Hypothesis: If a real plane has a pointed nose to cut through the air, then a pointed nose paper plane should cut through the air too, and go further. Materials: 2 pieces of printer paper 2 pieces of tape Science NB pencil Procedures: 1. Fold 1 piece of paper into a plane with a pointed nose and tape it. 2. Fold another piece of paper into a plane with a blunt nose and tape it. 3. Throw each plane and record which plane went further. 4. Repeat step 3, two more times. 5. Record data. Data: Pointed or Blunt? X = further Conclusion: The hypothesis was rejected/accepted. The hypothesis stated that, if a plane has a pointed nose to cut through the air, then a pointed nose to cut through the air, then a pointed paper plane should cut through the air too, and go further. Two paper planes were made and thrown 3 times with the furthest one getting recorded each time. During the trials, the blunt/pointed went further. Trial 1Trial 2Trial 3 Pointed nose Blunt nose
Thermometer: reading page 8 Celsius is our temperature measurement. Figure out how the numbers are being counted on the thermometer. Find the highest point of the blue, look across at the number, and that is the temperature.
Triple Beam Balance: reading the grams back p = 190 grams = 37 grams = 106 grams Add each beam’s numbers together and get the total mass in grams. (We are rounding the lower beam to the nearest whole number.)
Matter Vocabulary page 9
SolidLiquidGas Has a definite shape and a definite volume. The particles are packed tightly together. Each particle stays in the same place and vibrates. Has a definite volume, but NOT a definite shape-it takes the shape of its container. The particles are not tightly packed like a solid-they move more freely, but stay together. Has NO definite shape or volume. It also takes up space in a container. The particles are packed loosely together and are totally free to move around, quickly.

Volume The amount of space an object takes up Density The amount of mass in the known volume of an object Less dense = float in water More dense = sink in water Similar density = floats in the middle Page 12

Adaptations page 18 Structure: a body part; an organization of tissue on an organism. Function: The way something works or what it can do
Adaptations back of 18 WordMeaning NicheThe role an organism plays in its ecosystem. MigrationThe seasonal movement of animals from one place to another. HibernationA process by which an organism slows its life functions for an extended period of time to preserve energy or resist harsh conditions. PredatorAn organism that hunts and feeds on another organism. PreyAn animal that is hunted as food.
Adaptations page 19 Structural: body part, physical feature, how they look Behavioral: instinct, act, what they do Instincts: salmon swim upstream Hibernation Migration pattern/route Bird flight: humming bird hoover or duck soaring Hunting style: as a pack, alone or day/night Mimicry: changing clothes Ways of communication Camouflage: changing clothes Bird beak or teeth shape Zebra stripes, skin color, body coverings Claws, talons Elephant trunk, camel hump, gills Lungs, wings Mimicry Legs, feet (webbed, hooves, paws) Tail shape (beaver, shark) Eyes, camouflage Horns, antlers
