- Gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other.
- In a liquid, the molecules are constantly in contact with others; in a gas, they are widely spaced except when they happen to collide. In a solid, atoms are closely spaced and may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations.
- Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner. Get out your science notebook and add to the NEW Table of Contents- “Matter Phenomenon p.24” (Left Side). Head page 24 properly with “Matter Phenomenon-See Think Wonder-10/31/16.”
- Notebook– Trim and tape NEW Table of Contents to inside front cover. Write the phenomena topic on p.24 and set up a See-Think- Wonder with the following questions: What do you see? What do you think about that? What does it make you wonder?
- Phenomenon/See-Think-Wonder– Watch the The Liquid That Pours Itself video segment. Answer the questions on page 24. (Write-Pair-Share)
- Model– Create an initial model about how you think the liquid is able to pour itself. Draw a diagram of the phenomenon on a piece of easel paper. (Cooperative table group)
Experimental scenario quiz on Thursday, 11/3– STUDY pages 22-23
I am looking forward to touring the city of Boston with you! We will have so much fun learning about its history actually being there! Please remember that we are a reflection of Flood Middle School so behave with respect, cooperation, self-control, and KINDNESS!
|11:41-1:01 (includes lunch as usual with usual times)
- Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner. Get out your science notebook and open to pages 22 and 23. Read the experimental scenario on the handout that you were given.
- Advance Organizer– Scientfic Methods Study Jams and Scientific Method Brain POP animations
- Practice Experimental Design skills– Output page 23 and Heated Soil and/or Tomato Growth
Experimental scenario quiz on Wednesday, 11/2
- Do Now- Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner. Get out your science notebook and open to pages 22 and 23. Write a reflection to the following prompt on a piece of paper.
- Complete Input page 23 and Output page 22. Be sure that you have done the following:
- On page 23– Complete the assigned experimental scenario. You may need to use a flip page. Tape it to the bottom of page 23.
- Follow directions to tape the Design Detectives handout to page 23. Demonstrate how to use page 23 to prepare for the quiz on experimental scenarios.
- On page 22– Describe your own experimental scenario. Trade your notebook with a partner to see if he/she can identify the key parts to the design of the experiment.
3. Practice experimental scenarios with the following handouts: Heated Soil and/or Tomato Growth
