6. Science Skills Observing 1.Quantitative 2.Qualitative use your senses and tools to gather information #’s example: temp. 101°F descriptions example: a person’s head feels warm

7. Science Skills Organizing 1.Classifying 1.Recording recording data and observations grouping together items that are alike data charts graphs

8. Science Skills Models represent complex objects or processes example: solar system example: compounds

9. Science Skills Inferring explanations of what you observe not just guessing, it’s an educated guess tries to explain what has already happened

10. Classifying Cancer Colonies Page 8 With your table group, read the passage and answer the questions Be prepared to share out

11. Science Skills Predicting make a statement or a claim tries to explain what will happen Infer vs Predict Example: Puddle of Water You see a puddle of water and a glass on the floor. You infer that a glass of water spilled. You didn’t see it happen, but, based on the evidence you can make an educated guess. You watch someone bump into a glass of water. You can predict that it is going to spill on the floor and make a mess.

13. Think about proportions How much bark is needed 1 kg bark=X kg bark 0.015 kg paclitaxel120 kg paclitaxel X kg bark (0.015 kg) = 1 kg bark (120 kg) X = 120 kg = 8,000 kg bark 0.015 kg

14. Real life problems How many trees need to be cut down each year? 3 trees make about 5 kg of bark Need 120 kg of paclitaxel to treat 60,000 patients 8,000 kg of bark to make 120 Kg paclitaxel 8,000 kg barkx 3 trees = 4,800 trees 5 kg bark

15. What do you think?

16. Science Skills Analyzing evaluating observations and data results and conclusions no opinions, follow the data!
