  1. WELCOME • Mrs. Szymanski • Science Room 222 • EMAIL: LSzymanski@summithill.org • Teacher pages @summithill.org for lesson plans and rubrics • Online textbook available @ my.hrw.com • Gizmos at explorelearning.com

  2. What is it?

  3. Good guesses Magnetic field and iron filings

  4. NGSS Engineering by Design Model and STEM

  5. Forces and Interactions • Motion- Newton’s 3 Laws • Inertia • Law of Conservation of Momentum • Gravitational forces • Electric and magnetic forces Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation • Properties of waves • Transmission of waves through different mediums • Uses of waves for communication purposes

  6. Physical Science Students don’t have to memorize all the elements, however, they will learn 60% of the table Basics of Periodic Table • Parts of the atom, atomic number and atomic mass • Elements and the organization of Periodic table Matter and Its Interaction • Structure and properties of molecules • State of matter • Physical vs. chemical changes • Law of Conservation of Mass • Endothermic vs exothermic reactions

  7. Physical Science Chemical Reactions • Signs of chemical reaction • Identifying valence electrons • Chemical formulas • Balancing equations • Factors influencing the rate of chemical reactions

  8. Energy Different types of energy Law of Conservation of Energy and energy transfer Calculate speed of objects Problem Based Learning – Is nuclear energy a friend or foe? individual research paper small group collaboration group powerpoint class debate utilizing Next Generation Science Standards

  9. SafetyFirst • Conduct only authorized experiments • Labs are a serious place to work • Read and follow directions carefully

  10. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns

  11. Thank you for coming tonight!

  12. Expectations for Science Fair Independent project completed at home Major assessment -45% of grade Parts of project are due almost every Friday Students are chosen to compete in IJAS Regional Fair

  13. Support for Science Fair • Co-teaching with technology teacher • Advisory period • Instructional time • Computer labs and/or tablets will be utilized 5-6 times • EBSCO data base training • Research skills • Chunked deadlines • Rubrics
