1. There are 5 process skills we will be concerned with in 5th grade:OBSERVATION PREDICTIONCLASSIFICATION INFERENCECOMMUNICATION

2. An observation is our perception of OBJECTS and events using our five SENSES or a measuring device.

3. Key words to remember are look, study, and EXAMINE.

4. There are 2 kinds of observations:a. Qualitative: uses the 5 SENSES to create a clear and vivid

pictureb. Quantitative: uses a MEASURING device (so it will involve

numbers #s)

5. The 5 senses are HEAR, smell, taste, sight, TOUCH.

6. Examples of measuring devices:RULER, SCALE, YARDSTICK

7. The name of our observation game: I SPY

Look would be similar to the first drawings. We were just looking at the penny from our memory.Study would be similar to the 2nd drawing because we had a minute to look at the penny up close .

Examine would be the 3rd drawing because we had all the time we needed to closely look at the penny. The details were more exact here because we could look so long at the penny.

8. Classification is the sorting of objects or items into GROUPS. It's a way to ORGANIZE.

9. Key words to remember are group or SORT.

Page 13: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

10. There are 2 kinds of classification systems:a. Binary: where one group possesses a property or trait and the other group

DOES NOT. ("bi" means 2 (TWO) )

Ex. girls with blue eyes OR girls without blue eyes

b. Multi-stage: where you classify objects by sorting them again and AGAIN and again to form a heirarchy of sets.

("Multi" means > 1 or MANY)

CLASS

BOYS GIRLS with glasses without glasses brown eyes blue eyes

Page 14: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

11. What's the difference between ordering and sorting?Ordering involves putting objects into some type of SEQUENCE, like shortest to TALLEST, youngest to OLDEST, alphabetically, and so forth.

Sorting is putting them into GROUPS based on common TRAITS.

20. A variable is something that can CHANGE (VARY) in a situation or experiement.

21. The manipulated variable (MV) is DELIBERATELY changed (on purpose) in a situation or experiment. This is the "CAUSE." Some scientists also call this variable the INDEPENDENT variable. We graph it on the X axis (horizontal).

MV

Page 57: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

22. The responding varaiable (RV) is the variable that may change as a RESULT of the manipulation. It is WHAT HAPPENS, or is like the "EFFECT." Some scientists also call this variable the DEPENDENT variable. We graph it on the Y axis (veritcal).

23. The control includes all things that remain the SAME or constant.

24. When doing an investigation or experiment, it is best to only have one MANIPULATED VARIABLE.

RV

Page 58: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

26. When you operationally define the variable (ODV), you look for ways to MEASURE (in units) the variables. You describe HOW you will MEASURE the variables in your study.

Page 59: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

Find the variables in these statements:

The higher the temperature of water, the faster the egg will cook.

MV __________________________________RV __________________________________ODV: temperature ______________________

time ____________________________

Page 60: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

25. A hypothesis is a PREDICTION in terms of the MANIPULATED variable and the RESPONDING variable.

It usually begins with "IF....then...."

If.....(MV).....then.....(RV)

Ex. If you add salt to the ice, then the ice will melt.

Name _______________ How Many Drops of Water Can a Penny Hold? (investigating variables)

Materials you will need include:Eye dropper or pipette cup of water penny paper towel(s)

Procedure: Using the materials above, what would you do to determine how many drops of water would fit on the surface of your penny? Describe what you would do?

Prediction: Before you begin to carry out your experiment, predict how many drops you think you can place on the penny without the water flowing over. I predict the penny will hold ____ drops of water.

Page 64: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

Experiment: Carry out what you described above in the procedure. You will work independently or with a partner. Record the number of drops your penny held in the table below and then find the average of drops.

Trial #1 __________ Trial #2 ____________ Trial #3 ______________

Add the three numbers together and divide by three to find the average: _____

trial #1 + trial #2 + trial #3 = ??

Divide ?? by 3

Page 65: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

Analysis: Were you surprised at the results? Why or why not?

As you were conducting the experiment, was there anything about the way that you worked that was different from the way someone else worked? [For example, did you hold your dropper a different way from your neighbor?] If so, list some of the differences below:

These differences are called variables because they change or vary from one person to another. List at least three common variables that could affect the results of this experiment. The first one is complete for you.Variable #1: how high you hold your handVariable #2: ___________________________________________________Variable #3: ___________________________________________________

Page 66: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

IDENTIFY THE VARIABLES IN THESE SITUATIONS:

1. Lemon trees receiving the most water produce the largest lemons.

2. More bushels of potatoes will be produced if the soil is fertilized more.

3. An experiment was conducted to see if scores on math tests were affected by the number of minutes spent reviewing facts daily.

4. One student wondered if the time it took for an ice cube to melt was affected by the mass if the ice cube.

5. Does the length of a ladder affect the time it takes to climb a ladder.

6. The number of puppies in a litter is determined by the weight of the mother dog.

27. Scientists gather information by MEASURING. To measure is to determine the exact dimensions or CAPACITY of an object.

28. The most common measurements made include LENGTH, volume, mass, and TEMPERATURE.

29. Length is the measure of DISTANCE. The basic unit for length is the METER (m).

Page 69: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES
Page 70: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

30. Volume is how much SPACE a solid takes up or how much LIQUID or gas a container can hold. The basic unit for volume is CUBIC METERS (m ) for solids and LITER (L) for liquid/gas.

3cm

3cm

Page 71: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

31. Mass is how much MATTER an object contains. It is not the same as weight, but we do use scales to determine mass. Mass is measured in units called GRAMS (g).

32. Temperature is a measure of HOTNESS or COLDNESS and is measured in DEGREES CELSIUS (C ).

34. When an investigation is carried out, the measurements are called DATA. Measurements of time, length, temperature, and volume are examples of data and are usually written on a DATA TABLE.

35. When recording a table of data, the measurements of the MV are usually ORDERED (meaning from smallest to largest or largest to smallest.

38. The SCIENTIFIC METHOD is the procedure scientists use to learn to discover why things happen the way they do.

39. There are six (6) steps in the scientific method:

Page 98: Process Skills Classroon PPT-BES

1. Problem/Purpose

2. Research

3. Hypothesis

4. Experiment

5. Results/ Analysis

6. Conclusion

1. The question you have about something you would like to know more about or know if something affects the outcome of something else

2. Gathering information about your problem- could include background info via computer, books, observations using senses/measuring devices.

3. A testable explanation for what you will observe in terms of the MV and RV

4. A planned procedure with a MV used to test your hypothesis; data is collected; observations are made

5. What does your data and observations mean in terms of your hypothesis?

6. Is your hypothesis correct or do you need to rethink your ideas?
