Do Now: Focused Free WriteDirections: On a clean sheet of loose-
leaf paper in your class-work section, answer the following questions in complete sentences
1)Why are goals important to success?2)What are some of your goals for this
year in Science?
Do Now: Focused free Write
Directions: Take a packet from the Do NOW desk. On a clean sheet of loose-leaf paper in your class-work section make 5 observations about our classroom…
Unit 1: IntroductionThe Nature of Science
When it comes to looking at life, I always tend to round up, but in Science I know to
simply follow the rounding procedure! P.S. My name is Elle
1.Observations:• Are the use of the 5 senses to learn
something about the environment.
a. When you observe, you use your ____________ to take in everything that is happening around you, paying close attention to detail
b. Examples:• The rock is round and smooth.
Senses
2.INFERENCE:-Are interpretations of your
observations.-In other words, when you infer
you form a conclusion based on something you observed.
i. The round and smooth rocks must have been carried here by running water.
b. An example of an inference is:
ii. Since the dog is wagging his tail he must be happy.
iii. Make an inference about something your observe in the classroom.
b. Examples
Prediction• Lets looks at this picture again, what
will eventually happen to the circled rock?
How is a prediction different than an inference?
3.Prediction• An educated guess as to what will
happen in the near future based usually on your observations and inferences.
• An example of a prediction: i. An angular rock will eventually
become rounded if it stays in the stream.
ii. Ms. Gill will wear something stylish tomorrow.
Closure• Write a paragraph in your own words
comparing and contrasting the three terms: Observation, Inference and Prediction in your note packet
Do Now• Observation/ Inference Worksheet on
the Do NOW desk• Take out homework
The Nature of Science• Working science does not simply follow a
stepwise procedure such as the scientific method but rather limits, a level of uncertainty, biases, reasons for its reliability and social aspects to consider.
• Understanding of our world are constantly evolving. There is much more to science than simply following the scientific method, a stepwise formula to solve problems by testing proposed solutions.
The Nature of Science• The World Is Understandable• Scientific Knowledge Is Durable• Scientific knowledge is inherently uncertain.• Scientific Ideas Are Subject To Change• Science Demands Evidence• Science Is a Blend of Logic and Imagination• Science Explains and Predicts• Science Is Not Authoritarian• Scientists Try to Identify and Avoid Bias• There Are Generally Accepted Ethical Principles in the
Conduct of Science• Science Cannot Provide Complete Answers to All Questions• Science Is a Complex Social Activity• Scientists Participate in Public Affairs Both as Specialists
and as Citizens

day weekend!
Scientific Method:• Steps that scientist use to solve a
problem!
Scientific Method:1.State the problem!Example: I observe two plants
growing in my house. Why is one taller than the other?
Scientific Method:• 2. Gather information.
(Research!)observations, research, brainstormingExamples:1. Are both plants the same species? 2. Are both plants the same age?3. Are both plants receiving the same resources to survive?
Scientific Method3. Develop a Hypothesis.-based on observations and research-Statement, NOT a question!-can be tested• Write your hypothesis in the space
provided!
Scientific Method3. Develop a Hypothesis.Ex:
If I deprive a plant of natural sunlight then it will die because plants need sunlight to survive.
Scientific Method:4. Test you HypothesisPlan: Beginning with two identical
plants of the same starting height and species. I will place one plant on the window sill and another plant in the closet. I will give each plant the same amount of water each day (15mL) I will measure the height every week on Fridays for one month
Scientific Method:5. Observe and record your data. Use
tables and notes to record observations and measurements.
In the box provided draw a sample table that you would use to record data
Scientific Method:
Height of Plants (CM)Date Plant A Window Plant B Closet
Scientific Method:6. Analyze & Interpret Results using
charts and graphs
Scientific Method:7. Conclusion:-based on observations and results-State whether your hypothesis was
accepted or rejectedEx: My Hypothesis is accepted because
the plant on the window sill grew 3 cm but the plant in the closet did not grow.
Do Now:• Take out your Homework • Do Now Worksheet on deskToday’s Aim: Experimental Design
& Interpolating Data
Experimental Design:
• When designing an experiment, a scientist must test only one factor at a time.
• Variable: one factor that can exist in differing amounts that is being tested.
Experimental DesignControl Group Experimental
Group-Constant conditions - Identical to the- Used for Consistency control group and to isolate the EXCEPT for one Variable variable being tested
-Used to generate
results.
Independent VariableThe variable that is changed by
the scientist. For example: amount of sunlight in our experiment
To ensure a fair test, a good experiment has only one independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she observes what happens.
Dependent Variable
The scientist focuses his or her observations on the dependent variable to see how it responds to the change made to the independent variable.
For example: the growth of the plant
The new value of the dependent variable is caused by and depends on the value of the independent variable
Contols
A condition that is kept constant among groups in an experiment.
For example: The amount of water given to each plant

Focused Free Write in class notesWhat is a line graph? Why are they so
important in science? What are some key elements that all line graphs must have?
How to make a graph!It's probably better to do a graph in
pencil first, then in pen.
How to make a graph!• 1. Collect your data. After you
have it all in one place, you should have one independent variable (like time) and one dependent variable (like something you measure as a function of time).
Making a Graph• Here are some points we will use as
an example; we've measured position of a ball as a function of time:
time (s) position (cm) 1 3.0 2 5.5 3 7.5 4 9.0 5 10.0
Making a Graph2. Determine the range of your
data. In order to determine how big a graph to make, we need to determine how much the numbers vary. In this case, time varies from 1 to 5 seconds, and position varies from 3.0 to 5.3 cm. We have to make sure that there is enough space on the graph to fit all the data
Making a Graph3. The independent variable (time,
in this case) will go on the x-axis (the one parallel to the bottom of the page), and the dependent variable (position, in this case) will go on the y-axis (parallel to the left hand side of the page). So, draw axes that are big enough for all the data.
Making a Graph4. Give your graph a Title. Titles of
graphs are usually "Y versus X"; so in this case, our title is "Position versus Time." (NOT position divided by time, or position minus time.)
Making a Graph5. Label your graph and your axes.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! When presented with your graph, other people should be able to figure out what is plotted without asking you.
Making a Graph6. Labels on the axes must have
units! So, in this case, the label on the x axis (the one on the bottom) should be "Time (seconds)" and the label on the y axis (the one on the left) should be "Position (centimeters)."
Making a Graph7.Remember to write the numbers
on the graph, too. The numbers should be evenly and logically spaced - what I mean by this is the following: for our position data here, the y-axis should be marked off in increments like (1,2,3,4,5,6) or (2,4,6,8), NOT (1.3, 2.6, 4.8,...) or anything else weird.
Making a Graph8. Plot your data. Now, go ahead
and place your data points on the graph. Make them big enough to be seen, but not big enough to look like you were eating pizza while making your graph.
Making a Graph
9. CONNECT THE DOTS! THE ORIGIN IS NOT ALWAYS INCLUDED AS A POINT! Now you're done with your graph, but you're not finished yet.
Making a Graph
10. Think about what your graph means. What type of relationship do the variables have?
time (s)
position (cm)
1 3.02 5.53 7.54 9.05 10.0
Use the directions on the previous page to construct a graph. Here are some points we will use as an example to draw a graph; we've measured position of a ball as a function of time:
Graphing Terms• Interpolate: estimating information
within a graph (within the range of data given)
• Extrapolate: extending the graph to estimate information (outside the range of data given)
Questions1. I nterpolate the position of the ball at 2.5 seconds: ______ 2. I nterpolate the position of the ball at 4.5 seconds: ______ 3. Extrapolate the position of the ball at 6.0 seconds: ______ 4. Extrapolate the position of the ball at when it stops moving: ______ 5. Describe in words how the position of the ball is changing with time:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. What is the variable used to describe the relationship between position and time? _______________
7. Use the graph to explain how this variable of “speed” changes in this experiment._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. What is the independent variable? _______________ dependent?_____________

19. Graphing• Direct Relationship: both
variables “move in the same direction” They both increase or both decrease. As time increases, the temperature increase.
Inverse Relationship• Variables “move in opposite
directions”. One variable goes up and the other goes down. Example: as temperature increases, density decreases
• One variable changes, but the other remains the same. As time increase the size of earth remains the same.
Cyclic: repeats at known intervals.Ex: As time goes on the hours of daylight increase then
decrease at a predictable rate.

Rate of change• How fast did the change happen?
• How much a measurable aspect of the environment, called a field, is altered over a given amount of time – years, hours, or seconds.
The steeper the slope the faster the rate of change!
If the slope is constant, the rate of change is also constant
If the slope is exponential or curved, then the rate of change is not constant!
A flat horizontal line, means the that the value is constant over time and not changing at
all
Cyclic Change:• Changes that repeat over and over in
a known period of time.
• Examples are: seasons, sun motions, moon and tides
• Most changes are cyclic and they are very good to use when we are trying to make predictions
Non-cyclic Changes:• Changes that do not repeat at all or
do not repeat in a known period of time.
• Some examples of these are:
• Earthquakes and Hurricanes.
Formula:• Change in field value Change in time•
• Formula is on p. 1 in ESRT
Rate of Change questions
• 1. If the greenhouse effect causes the Earth's average temperature to increase by a total of 3°F between the years 1960 and 1990, what is the rate of temperature change in degrees per year (°F/year)?
Rate of Change questions
• 2. After a series of earthquakes, a landsat satellite computes that California is 15 cm less wide than it was 3 years ago. What is the rate of change of California's width?
Rate of Change questions
• 3. As hurricane Felix neared the U.S. coast, air pressure dropped from 996 millibars to 980 millibars in 8 hours. Calculate the rate of air pressure change in mb/hour.

4. CLASSIFICATION:• To put things into groups. • We can organize or classify objects
according to some pattern or trend or common characteristics.
Classification• The purpose of classifying is to
organize creatures into four different groups. Remember that creatures can only end up in one group at the end.
• After you divide them in to two groups, they can not cross over when you divide them again.
Rules to Classification• Start each question with “ Does it have
___.”
• -Do NOT use size, color or behavior.
• Don’t use the same question twice• - Good examples are: Does it have wings? Does it have more than two legs? Does it have feathers? Does it have Antenna? Does it have segments? Does it have scales?
Rules to Classification• 6) Do NOT use the same question twice• 7) Do NOT use size, BAD EXAMPLE #1: “Is
it big?” • 8) Do NOT use color. BAD EXAMPLE #2:
"Is it blue?"• 9) Do NOT behavior or function, BAD
EXAMPLE #3: "Can it fly?"• 10) Do NOT use environment, BAD
EXAMPLE #4: "Does it live in the ocean?"
Rules to Classification
Classif y these creatures: Question # 1: ____________________________________________________________
Yes: No:
Yes: No:
Question #3: ______________________________________________________________
Yes: No:
Question #2: ______________________________________________________________
Don’t cross this line!
Do Now:• Take both sheets on the Do Now
Desk• On the back of the classification
worksheet write the rules for classification that we learned yesterday.
Do NOW: Measurements Worksheet on Do Now Desk
a. What are some measurable properties?
Think on a daily basis, what might be some of the things
you measure?
-Mass -Area-Temperature -Volume-Density -Pressure
b. How do we make measurements?
• Our senses are limited by how sensitive or by how accurate they are. To get more detailed information, we use instruments, such as rulers, thermometers, x-rays and telescopes
c. Metric System & Unit Conversion
• The fundamental units of the metric system are:
For Mass______________________ • For Length
______________________• For Liquid Volume
________________
Grams (g)
Meters (m)milliliters (mL)
Prefix Fun!• By changing the prefix used with
each unit you can change the size of the unit. We will use the following prefixes. (There are others for both larger and smaller units.)
Hecto- (102)
Deca- (101)
Kilo- (103)
Centi- (10-
2)
Milli-(10-3)
Deci- (10-1)
Basic Unit (100)
Prefix Fun!• You can
remember this using the following sentence:
• King Henry died, drinking chocolate milk
Hecto- (102)Deca- (101)
Kilo- (103)
Centi- (10-2)Milli- (10-3)
Deci- (10-1)Basic Unit (100)
• To convert from any unit to any other unit count how many spaces are between them and move the decimal point that far in the same direction.
Let’s look at the meter stick! How many meters (m) are in a meter (m) stick?___
How many centimeters (cm) are in a meter (m)? ___________

What is MASS:• Is the amount of matter in an object.
• It is how much “stuff” the object is made of, the number of molecules in it.
How do we measure Mass• Can we count the atoms? One by one?
LolNope! Instead we use a triple beam balance which gives us a value usually in grams.
Let’s click here for an interactive triple beam balance!
Is Weight the same as Mass?
Weight is NOT the same as mass, but weight is used to measure the mass of an object on the Earth. Think about what would happen if you weighed your self on the moon. You would weight less because there is less gravity pulling you down onto the scale, even though your mass did not change.
Let’s check our our weight on the MOON!!!
8. Temperature:• It is the amount of heat energy an
object has.• Typically the faster the molecules
vibrate with in a sample of matter the hotter it is.
English Units: Fahrenheit Degrees (F°)• Water Freezes : 32°F.• Water Boils: 212°F.
Metric Units: Celsius Degrees (°C)• Water freezes: 0°C.• Water boils: 100° C.
Kelvin Units (K)• Absolute zero: 0 Kelvin’s• Water freezes: 273 Kelvin’s• Water boils: 373 Kelvin’s
• The lowest possible temperature and occurs when ALL heat is removed.
• It is equal to -272°C.
ABSOLUTE ZERO:
What are three states, or phases of matter?
• Solid (ice) Liquid (water) Gas (water vapor)
9. What variable determines the different phases? Temperature
11. Area:• The amount of space a 2-dimensional
object takes up• For squares and rectangles area is equal
to: L
x W• L: Length, the longer dimension of an 2 D
object usually measured in meters, centimeters or millimeters.
• W: Width, the shorter dimension of a 2D object.
• Note that the units will always end up squared! Example: 4mm x 2mm = 8mm2
11. Area:Let’s practice using the following steps:• Step 1: Write the formula Example: Area = L x W
• Step 2: List all the variables including the unknown, WITH UNITS.
Example: L = 4mm W= 2mm A= ?
11. Area:Let’s practice using the following steps:• Step 3: Plug in the numbers,WITH UNITS.
Example: A=4mm x 2mm
• Step 4: Calculate WITH UNITS. Example: A= 8mm2
• Practice the two examples on your own!
Do Now: Take one ruler and one object from the box on the front table.
Use the ruler to find the volume of the object you choose. If you can not use the ruler to find the volume, explain how you could.
10. Volume:• The amount of space an
object takes up• For solid cubes and boxes,
Volume is equal to: L x W x H Depending on the size of the object the units may be either cm3 or m3.
10. Volume:• But for liquids, volume is measured
in liters using a beaker or graduated cylinder. There two rules:
1. Always read it at eye level
This is a beaker!
10. Volume:• 2. You must read the meniscus to
obtain an accurate result. Due to cohesion (sticky) properties of fluids, the edges of the fluid touching the glass will slightly rise.
Meniscus = 73 mL
10. Volume:It is easier to measure
irregular shaped objects using fluid displacement. In order to measure this irregularly shaped rock you would drop it in a beaker filled with water and measure the change in volume.
What factors affect Volume?• 1)Temperature• Heating a material will cause it to expand
and take up more space because the molecules need more room to move around. Therefore increasing temperature will increase volume.
• _________________• Cooling a material will result in the opposite.
So decreasing temperature will decrease volume. ____________________
• Think about how your rings fit in the winter… they seem to be bigger!
T V
T V
What factors affect Volume?• 2) Pressure:• Increasing pressure will force molecules
closer together there by decreasing volume. ______________________
• Decreasing pressure will allow molecules to spread out and take up more space thereby increasing volume. _________________

This week’s HWMonday: Measurement worksheet and
study for quizTuesday: Density Homework WorksheetWednesday: No HWThursday: Graphing WorksheetFriday: No HW
Extra Help: Today after school and tomorrow morning
11. DENSITY• The amount of matter (mass) in a
given amount of space (volume).
• It tells us how tightly packed the molecules are, or how close to each other they are.
• If they are packed tightly, the density is high.
DENSITY UNITS• The unit for measuring density is grams per cubic centimeter, or g/cm³
• Density = Mass Volume M
D V
Step 1• Write the formula
• Example: Density = Mass/Volume or D=M/V
Step 2• List all the variables including the
unknown, WITH UNITS.
• Example: D=?M = 38.0gV = 12.0cm3
Step 3• Plug in the numbers, WITH UNITS.
• Example:D=38.0g/12.0cm3
Step 4• Calculate WITH UNITS. • Example:
D=3.2g/cm3
ExampleIf an object has a mass of 13.4 grams and a volume 5.7 cm3 what is the density?
Solution:
Let’s Practice !!!• Please complete the worksheet
Do Now:Take out HW• Quietly look over your notes in prep
for you quiz• You need a calculator
Do Now: Draw this in your class work section
Beaker filled with water: Density = 1.0 g/cm3
D= 1.0 g/cm3
D= 0.8g/cm3
D= 0.2 g/cm3
D= 0.5 g/cm3
D= 3.0 g/cm3
D= 1.5 g/cm3
• Each pure substance has its own particular density and it can be used to help identify that material at room temperature.
• For example, liquid water has a density of 1g/cm³ because 1cm³ of water weighs 1 gram. One cm³ of water also occupies 1ml.
• solid quartz has a density of 2.7 g/cm³ Mixtures do not have a precise density.
-Fluids tend to layer based on their density, with less dense fluid on top of more dense fluid. Can you think of any examples?
Let’s check out this video!• http://www.eram.k12.ny.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=17500&fileitem=4738&catfilter

Oil and Vinegar!
Factors that affect Densitya. Temperature• Cooling a material causes its
molecules to move closer together, making its volume decrease and causing its density to increase.
• Heating a material causes its molecules to move apart making its volume increase and causing the density to decrease
• Note that Mass is staying the same!!!
T VD
TVD
So why does density matter?
If a warm gust of wind meets cold air, will the warm air go above or below the cold air?• Since hot air is less dense it will rise!
• And Cold air sinks because it is denser than warm air
• This happens when you boil water
This rising and sinking of fluids due to density and
temperature differences is called…
A CONVECTION CURRENT!!!We will touch upon this concept
many times through out the year
Factors that affect Density:b. Pressure
• Increasing the pressure (squeeze) on a material causes its molecules to get pushed closer together, decreasing the volume, making the density increase.
• Decreasing the pressure causes the opposite effect, since molecules move further apart, it becomes less dense.
• Again, note mass remains the same!P VD

Do Now: Take out Density of GUM LAB turn to data.
• Focused Free Write: Take a look at my awesome Lava Lamp. Why are the colors separated? Why do the blobs move rather than
settle? What processes in earth can we relate this
phenomenon to?
15. Density at Different Phases• As a material is heated, it changes
from solid to liquid.
• More heat changes the liquid to gas. The molecules move farther apart, so the volume increases, causing the density to decrease.
• Solids are most dense, gases are least dense
The Only exception to this rule is water
• As water cools, its volume decreases until it reaches 4° C.
• As it cools from 4° C to 0° C, its volume actually increases, so it becomes less dense again.
• Water is most dense at 4°C, but is still a liquid.
• This is due to my buddy Mr. Hydrogen Bond, you will meet him in Chemistry
• Water at 0°C is solid ice, but is less dense than water, so ice floats!!
• Water is the only material whose solid form will float in its liquid form.
• This is why the top of a puddle, or a
lake freezes first.
16. Does size affect density of an object?
• You can NEVER change the density of a material by cutting it into pieces.
• Since change both volume and mass, the ratio will remain the same, therefore each small piece will have the same density as the original large one.
17. Let review some crucial relationships!!!
