1. Put your backpacks up front. Only have a pencil/eraser with you
Put your backpacks up front. Only have a pencil/eraser with you. Put your name on your answer sheet. Read carefully. DO NOT WRITE ON CLASS COPY! Remain seated and silent until EVERYONE is completed.

2. Reading Inventories Why?
While this is a science class, we will have many opportunities to become better readers and writers in this class. By being critical of what we read, we can be better citizens. By being critical of science text, we can help understand and improve our communities. Knowing how you read best will help me to have us reach these goals with more happiness! 

3. Connections Thursday/Friday Volunteers
Present a simple 1 minute how-to demo OR
Look up newspaper articles or local current events that relate to having strong procedures/data. 

4. Things to have out/do
NEW Behavior Log is filled in if you have it this week
Copied Objective, HW into assignment list
HAVE OUT: DEADLINES FOR TODAY
Procedure due
Signed Lab Safety Contracts

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

6. Do You Know?
What’s the difference between a qualitative and quantitative observation?

7. Goals * State the Objective(s)/Standard (s)- Sci.7.1a, RI 7.1/2, W7.2
* State the Purpose (Big Idea) - Example texts will provide students with models of how to write informational text about an experiment and adequately explain procedures and results in an experiment
SWBAT compare passages and differentiate between qualitative and quantitative data sets

8. Agenda I Do: Types of Data & Summaries
We Do: Quantitative Data/Summary
Groups: Qualitative Data/Summary
You Do: Independent Questions
Summary/ Feedback/ Questions

9. Sorting observations

10. GIST Summary:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How
20-word summary

11. We Do: Quantitative Data
Quantitative data is information about quantities; that is, information that can be measured and written down with numbers. An example of quantitative data is your height. For example, let’s look at the following data:
Circle key words
Summarize

12. GIST Summary:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How
20-word summary

13. Groups: Qualitative Data
Write key words
Summarize
Some data cannot be recorded as numbers. For instance, when plants grow, we can record plant height or a number of fruit present, but we cannot give a number to things like quality. In some cases, we need to describe. For example, we could say the fruit on the plant was spotted and had several bruises and bugs. (Numbers can’t always tell us everything about our experiments!) In another example, a basketball player can score 10 baskets in a game but there’s only one way to include how he/she feels after the game: Qualitative Data.

14. GIST Summary:

15. Your Turn Which is better: Qualitative or Quantitative? Why?
How else can we sort data?
3 ways in your own experiment
3. Predict how you will see and use qualitative and quantitative data in your own experiment.

16. 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?

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

18. Extra Time or Extra Credit
Project #1: Lab Safety Cartoon
This is an individual project.
Create a cartoon which depicts any lab safety rule.
Your cartoon must clearly explain what is happening and either how to prevent an accident or what to do if there is an accident
Project #2: Lab Safety Skit
You may work in a group up to 4 people to act out any lab safety rule.
Your skit must clearly explain what is happening and how to prevent an accident. You may use different characters and scenarios to describe what is happening.
Project #3: Lab Safety Poster
Your safety poster must clearly explain the rule and how to prevent an accident.
The brochure will need sketches, or pictures that will help aid in your explanation. The picture must fill at least one third of the poster board.

21. 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

22. 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?
