*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
