*Please remember that these plans are adjusted daily based on the needs of your children.* Monday – Labor Day Lesson 1 – Continuation from last week, the classes 1-4 stations to finish Objectives: TLW demonstrate safe practices during laboratory investigations. TLW collect and analyze information using tools including, calculators, safety goggles, microscopes, cameras, sound, recorders, computers, hand lenses, rulers, thermometers, meter sticks, timing devices, balances, and compasses. TLW collect information by observing and measuring Procedure: TLW travel from station to station where they will learn how to use, understand when to use and practice using, each of the science tools. Materials: digital scale, toy bus, can of paint, baseball, spring scale, spoon, concrete batteries, measuring cups, water, cm/mm rulers, starfish, mission patch, glue stick, graduated cylinder, funnel, marble, balance scale, scissors, box of chalk, shell, hand lens, eye dropper, penny, meter stick, stop watch, thermometers, ice, hot water, microscopes Evaluation: lab form Procedure: TLW demonstrate their knowledge of lab safety and equipment by taking a multiple-choice test. Materials: test packet Evaluation: test Lesson 2 Objectives: TLW understand the steps necessary for a scientist to utilize the scientific inquiry method during field and laboratory investigations. TLW be introduced to how a scientist will plan and implement descriptive investigations including asking well-defined questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting and using equipment and technology Procedure: TLW consider how and why an apple will turn brown. TLW answer the following question: Why are experiments done? What is the scientific method? TLW will receive a 6” x 4” piece of paper on which they will write one of the steps of the scientific method, its definition, and an illustration. Each step will be combined into one large poster. TLW take a Science Attitude Survey using the CPS system. Evaluation: t.o., method cards, survey results
