Creating a Physical Model: How does the lake level change? • do not put pennies in graduated cylinder • model needs to represent the scenario: boat, rocks, lake, rocks thrown into the lake • use the physical model to answer the question • collect quantitative data (numbers) that supports your answer to the question • work carefully and efficiently; do not spill the water • clean up after; leave the materials as you found them (refill bottle if necessary) • create a graph to represent your data
Mon 08-19-13 SC09 Essential Elements of Science Start: • A group of students are involved in a school competition. Each group has to participate in an obstacle course. One member of the group travels through the course and then returns to touch the hand of the next student in the group who then proceeds to do the course. The course is a timed event and the clock stops when the last member of the group finishes the obstacle course. The following table includes the results for all of the groups: Which group would you declare as winner? Explain why. What data is missing from the last row on the data table that would make the contest more fair? Complete the table if you know the answer.
Working as A Group • cooperation • focus • assigned/assumed roles • division of labor • check for accuracy • communication • between members • with other groups • accountability
Team Event #4 Whole Group Instructions • use the roll of butcher paper located under the demo table and cut • a strip of butcher paper 6.5 meters long (using the scissors from Mr. Hatch and • a meter stick found above the east bulletin board) each member of the class must use markers found in the container • under the TV cart to add a colorful picture or diagram that contributes to the • overall theme of a large mural drawn on the paper • the theme for the finished product is “astronomy” • all drawings/diagrams must be neat and reflect this • theme each student must initial his or her contribution
use the roll of butcher paper located under the demo table and cut a strip of butcher paper 6.5 meters long (using the scissors from Mr. Hatch and a meter stick found atop the east bulletin board). each member of the class must use markers found in the container under the TV cart to add a colorful picture or diagram that contributes to the
overall theme of a large mural the class will draw on the butcher paper. the theme for the finished product is “astronomy.” all drawings/diagrams must be neat and reflect this theme. each student must initial his or her contribution.
Team Event #4 Small Group Instructions • Do not talk while participating in this team event. • Only one member of the small group may leave his/her seat at a time during the entire team event • Take the pieces out of the envelope and put them together in a way that makes sense of the written words. • When the words are in order transfer this information onto the white strip of paper provided—you may write on this paper. • Return the separate pieces to the envelope just like you received them • Using the white strip of paper, cooperate with the other small groups to successfully complete the whole group instructions. • When all the small groups are ready to use the markers, two people (only two) from the whole class will be allowed to speak.
