Slide 5
Warm Up: Block 2 and 3 See if you can determine what the
following magnified photos are. Number your index card from 1 to 5.
1.1. 2.2. 3.3. 4..4.. 5.
Slide 6
The Answers:
Slide 7
Homework check Open to the page in your notebook where you
completed the homework assignment I will come around and check to
make sure you completed the homework
Slide 8
1.2 A Better Book Support (contd) 1. Find the page labeled 1.2
A Better Book Support Design -this is what we did Friday (A) /
Monday (B) 2. On this page you should find vocabulary word
Iteration 3. Add vocabulary word Solution Briefing then copy the
definition (DIV 10) Questions? 2 minutes
Slide 9
Copying vs. Crediting Teacher will read aloud page DIV 12
Slide 10
Copying vs. Crediting Scientists are always building on each
others ideas The idea of giving credit to others when you build
from their ideas is not copying! Copying does not give credit to
the people who thought of the ideas you may have used!
Slide 11
Building on and Benefit from Each Others Ideas We will read
pages DIV 13 together
Slide 12
1.2 A Better Book Support (contd) 1. Find the page labeled 1.2
A Better Book Support Design (this is what we did Friday (A) /
Monday (B) 2. On this page you should now find 2 vocabulary words
Iteration and Solution Briefing 3. Add 3 rd vocabulary word
Collaborate copy definition (DIV 13) Questions? 2 minutes
Slide 13
Next we will Be exploring matter, gravity, center of mass, what
makes structures strong, and what makes a structure stable.
Slide 14
In this unit we will Try to figure out what is matter. What is
gravity and why did some of our book supports fail causing the
textbook to fall onto the table.
Slide 15
1.3 The Science of Structures Label page 13 in your notebook
1.3 The Science of Structures add entry to table of contents You
will be recording 5 vocabulary words shortly (use the entire page
to define these 5 important vocabulary words)
Slide 16
1.3 The Science of Structures We will read page DIV 15 together
Boys you will be reading about Matter Girls you will be reading
about Gravity Then we will define these new vocabulary words during
a rotation around the room activity Questions?
Slide 17
1.3 The Science of Structures You will count off from 1 5 and
then report to the station matching your number As you rotate
around 5 stations, you will record each vocabulary word and write
the definition 1.Matter2. Volume 3. Atom4. Molecule 5. Gravity 1
minutes per station !!!
Slide 18
1.3 The Science of Structures Matter is anything that takes up
space and has mass It can be a solid, liquid, or a gas In our
previous challenge, the book, the book support, the air in our
classroom, and the tables we worked on were all examples of
matter
Slide 19
What is Matter! Introduction to Matter :

matter/1730652/ Stop at 2:26 min/sec
Slide 20
1.3 The Science of Structures Volume measures how much space
something takes up Imagine if I had 2 containers the exact same
size: one was filled with water and the other was filled with
whipped crme Which one do you think has more mass? The container
filled with water Which one has more volume? The containers have
equal volumes because they are exactly the same size
Slide 21
1.3 The Science of Structures Gravity caused our book to fall
towards Earth when our support was not strong enough The book falls
because there is a pull between the book and Earth therefore the
book falls toward Earth When the book was properly supported, it
did not fall toward Earth
1.3 The Science of Structures What design seemed to work best
during our design challenge? Columns!!! Turn to page DIV 17 We are
going to read together section Structures with Columns
Slide 24
1.3 The Science of Structures Today you will be using sponges
to think about the following concepts: Volume Mass Gravity You will
be recording this information below your 5 vocabulary words Every
student will record this information into their notebooks You will
begin by drawing this table
Slide 25
Draw this table (below your 5 vocabulary words) massvolume
Sponge 1 Sponge 2 Gravity - explain
Slide 26
Todays Groups. I will shortly assign 3 people to work together
This is your group today! Each group will receive 2 sponges
(labeled sponge 1 or sponge 2) Questions?
Slide 27
1.3 The Science of Structures Working in pairs, you will
Determine Volume of both sponges (length x width x height) using a
ruler Determine Mass of both sponges (dry vs. wet) * using teachers
help Explain Gravity (what is it and how you would demonstrate
gravity to a 1 st grader using your sponge) Again you will be
recording this information below your 5 vocabulary words in the
table Every student will record this information into their
notebooks
Slide 28
1.3 The Science of Structures You will have 20 minutes To
determine mass = I will call each group over to use the balance If
you are not at the balance, then you are calculating volume and
explaining gravity Questions?
Slide 29
Quiz (On Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) On September 11 th - A Day On
September 12 th - B Day You will be given a study guide to help you
review the science concepts we have learned thus far Bring
something to work on or read when done You will take your quiz
during the first part of class, then we will begin our next
challenge The Sandwich Cookie Challenge
