Instructions: (“Business before pleasure”) Take out your Science binder.

1. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation Instructions: (“Business before pleasure”) • Take out your Science binder. • On your table of contents: Copy the Date, L.T., and page number you are beginning today’s notes on. 3) On your guided notes a) Number your page b) Copy your L.T. 4) Take out your HW #4 5) Get ready to work!

2. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation View the picture below and list 5 observations. (3 observations should be qualitative and 2 be quantitative) Observations Qualitative 1) _____________________ 2) _____________________ 3) _____________________ Quantitative 4) _____________________ 5) _____________________

3. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation Read the scenario below and create a CMD question (based on something that you observed in the passage) to investigate. Afterward, use the CMD checklist to make sure that your question meets the criteria. Yesterday you were using your computer and you observed that the screen kept freezing. You realized that you had your computer on all day. You also had many programs running at the same on your computer. You begin to wonder whether these things could be potential reasons for your computer screen freezing.

4. L.T: I can form C.M.D investigable questions. Is my Investigable Question C.M.D? • Comparing2 things or shows specific Cause and Affect? • Measurable (Can you measure and collect enough data?) • Doable (Do I have the materials, time, and resources?)

5. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation the amount of time I have on my computer A few suggested formats for C.M.D questions • How does ____________________________________ affect ____________________________________________________? OR 2) How is ______________________________ affected by ________________________________________________? OR 3) What affect does ____________________________________have on _____________________________________________ ? how often my computer freezes how often my computer freezes the amount of time I have on my computer amount of computer programs running how often my computer freezes

6. Take 3 minutes to silently read the “My Investigation Project” paper slip

7. 1)“My Investigation Question” planning sheet (5 pts) 2)“My Observations, Research, Hypothesis” planning sheet (5 pts) 3) “My Variables, Materials, and Procedure” planning sheet (5 pts) 4) “My Data, Graph, and Conclusion” planning sheet (5 points) *done on loose leaf paper* 5) “My Investigation Lab Report” (50 points) 6) Group Tri-Board.

You begin to wonder whether these things could be potential reasons for your computer screen freezing.

9. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation Task: 1) Turn to the back of yesterday’s guided notes 2) Watch the videos. For each video: a) Write the topic of the investigation. b) Things that the kids observed. c) Record the CMD question that the kids were investigating. d) Write another question that you could have investigated based on a similar topic.

10. L.T: I can create an CMD question for my investigation Task: Complete the “My Investigation Question” planning tool. (5points of your project) My Investigation Planning Tool Due Date: Friday 9/27/13
