Copied Objective, HW into assignment list
HAVE OUT: DEADLINES FOR TODAY
Procedure – Past Due
Signed Lab Safety Contracts – Past Due
Parent Letters out tomorrow

2. Mantra - Your Turn! Today is a great day for science because:
Science is power.
We are powerful because:
We always make a difference.

3. Do You Know?
Choose the most appropriate units to measure the weight of a textbook a) Pounds b) Grams c) Ounces d) Kilograms

4. Goals * State the Objective(s)/Standard (s)- Sci.7.1a, RI 7.1/2, W7.2
* State the Purpose (Big Idea) - Example science reports will provide students with models of how to write informational text about an experiment and adequately explain results and conclusions in an experiment
SWBAT summarize techniques and tools available to make measurements when collecting data

5. Agenda I Do: Types of Data Tables/Graphs, Measurement Tools
We Do: Discuss Reading Inventory Data Tables, Expectations
Groups: Predict/Attempt use of Tools
You Do: Reading Summary
Summary/ Feedback/ Questions

6. Tables Due Friday Clear with UNITS
At least 2 trials (control and test runs)
Figure # and Caption Labels
Table 1: ___________________
Trial
Measurement 1
Measurement 2
Measurement 3 1 2 3
Caption: _________________________________________

7. Graphs Due Friday Labeled x and y axis with units
Used the whole graph space
Title
Key that makes sense
Clear
No mistakes!
Figure # and Caption Labels

8. Written Results Section: Due Fri.
Refer to your tables and graphs as you describe trends and basic comparisons in your data.
DO NOT make assumptions about what the numbers mean until the conclusion section!

9. Reading Inventories
How could we put the data from our inventories into a data table?
Where would we put our counts of each preference?
How do we include qualitative responses?

10. MEASUREMENT

11. Individual vs. Group Work
Should you use the silent, quiet, or projection voice?
Should you work alone or cooperate as a team?
PARTICIPATION
Score cards
EXPECTATIONS
Equal participation and effort based on your abilities
On-task all the time
Talking about the assignment only

12. Expectations GIST Summary:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How

13. Predict data table set-up:
Students will measure select objects of varying shape, size, and weight using standard metric and non-metric tools

14. Be ready to explain what you did!!
Group task:
Teams of 5 at ONE station
Label which item you are measuring!
Work with your teammates to describe as many ways that you can measure the item as possible
Actually measure the items and record the measurements
Tools to measure are up front…Return them to the front once you are done with them
Work together… ie:
Tool master
Measurer
Data Recorder
Name/Work Checker
Units Checker
Be ready to explain what you did!!

15. How did you measure things?

16. Your Turn:
Carefully read the small text and summarize the passage:
Measurement is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity relative to an agreed standard. Measurement of any quantity involves comparison with some precisely defined unit value of the quantity. Standard units of measure need to be identified and defined as accurately as possible. The system that is used in the scientific community is called Système International d’Unités, abbreviated to SI. All of the SI units used in scientific measurements can be derived from just seven fundamental units. Apart from mass, each of these units has a definition based on an unchanging property of nature. A number of non-SI units are commonly used, even though the SI system of units covers all scientific measurements. The reasons for this are historical, political and for everyday convenience.

17. Last Items/ Questions Review Project Packet & have a guardian sign it!
Need Troubleshooting or Project help?
LAST Office Hours Saturday, 12-2 at McDonald’s
DEADLINES COMING UP:
Data due Friday (Start to collect it & Test your experiments!)

18. If Time:
Same groups
Measurement Worksheet… “Dip your toes in the water…”
Label tools
Plus one sentence about what each tool may be used for

19. GO GO FEEDBACK FRONTIER!
Miss K – In my baggie (Comments on my teaching, living up to my goals, and any personal things you need to privately tell me)
Your peers – Feedback to 1 or 2 people… What is something you saw him/her do that matched up with our class values? Why was it really great to see this?

20. Paper return/ Grade Sheet Update

23. This Week…
Can’t help but think of home A place where Chemistry swirled, and I was never alone Parents who always questioned Dinner talks - always a lesson To my mother, everything made sense To be able to break life down into its simplest elements The tiniest part of existence So carefully found and compared yet seemingly so far from our lens

24. Life Depends on Chemistry
Chemistry: The study of composition, structure, properties, and change in matter.
Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space
Write out in detail your observations of the outside
5 senses!
How do you think they are related to chemistry?
