Today’s Work Session
1. 3-2-1 Reflection2. Finish Circle Map (poster or individual)3. Finish Science World assignment4. Work on Testable Questions (complete
the first assignment if you don’t know how to do the other two)
3-2-1 TOTD
• Three things you know about scientific methods
• Two questions you still have about this topic• One question you would like to answer in a
scientific investigation (it needs to be something you are interested in and can do – you are going to use this question for other assignments)
Poster
Paragraph discussing the three types of investigation
descriptive comparative
experimental
Lunch Line Expectations
• Line up SILENTLY• Line up in a SINGLE FILE LINE• Line up and KEEP YOUR HANDS & FEET TO
YOURSELF• There AND back• If you can’t handle this, then you will have
ASSIGNED SEATS at lunch
Test Today
• Use the first ten minutes of class to ask questions and review
• You can write on the test• After the test, read the article on explosions
and complete the guided reading worksheet• If you finish all of that, you can read or work
on something for another class
Quiz Today
• Use the first ten minutes of class to ask questions and review
• You can write on the quiz• After the quiz you need to work on your
Science World assignment • If you are finished with that, you can read or
work on something for another class• 2nd & 4th – we will finish posters tomorrow
Warm Up 9/4/13
Which of the following is NOT the result of a chemical change?A. soured milkB. ground flourC. rusted metalD. digested food

Agenda & Homework
• Brain Pop – The pH Scale• Ch-ch-changes Demos & Hands-On• 3-2-1 TOTD
• Homework: Study for TEST tomorrow
Test Tomorrow
• States of Matter – solid, liquid, gas, plasma (volume, shape, molecules)
• Changes of State – melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation (what changes happen when adding or taking away energy)
• Physical & Chemical Properties & Changes – examples of each, how to tell them apart
• All returned work, Ch. 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.3
Predict, Observe, Explain
• What do you think will happen?• Make observations – note color changes,
bubbling/fizzing, heat/light, formation of new substances, changes of state/shape/form
• Explain – physical or chemical? Why?
3-2-1 Ticket Out The Door
• Three things you have learned about changes• Two questions you still have• One most interesting change you observed
today
Warm Up 9/4/13
The scientific process begins with asking questions andA. making observations.B. reading background.C. planning experiments.D. answering them.

Agenda & Homework
• Circle Map & Paragraph• 3-2-1 TOTD • Homework – study for tomorrow’s quiz• Know the 3 types of investigations• Know parts of the scientific method (hypothesis,
• Know the difference between qualitative and quantitative
Warm Up 9/3/13
What is the best way to tell if a chemical change has taken place?A. The matter changes color.B. The change is reversible.C. A mixture separates into layers.D. The composition changes.

Agenda & Homework
• Notes on physical & chemical changes• Card Sort (copy correct answers into
• Ask yourself: Do the data support my hypothesis? Did what I think would happen, happen?
• Yes? You or others may want to try again to verify the results
• No? Check for errors and try again• Still no? You may have to rethink or reject
your hypothesis
Warm Up 8/30/13*NOT a turn in day
A chemical change takes place during a laboratory investigation of the properties of magnesium. Which of the following may have been observed?A. Magnesium burns in the presence of oxygen.B. Magnesium melts at 649°C.C. Magnesium becomes malleable when it is
heated.D. Magnesium conducts an electric current.

Project Turn-In
• Make sure sheet is COMPLETE!• Don’t forget to complete the section about
your process!• Make sure your name is on your bottle.
Warm Up 8/30/13*NOT a turn-in day
• Complete the “Pretest” side of the graphic organizer packet
• You have 2 CRCT questions – save them in a safe place to add to next week’s set.
• Process Skills project due dates pushed up• Quiz on the scientific method next
WEDNESDAY• Short Observations video
Recording and Presenting DataScience Book pages 766-767 & 770-772
• Important to keep accurate records• Record independent and dependent variables• DRY MIX (dependent/responding Y-axis,
manipulated/independent X-axis• Pie chart – parts to a whole• Line graph – trends over time, continuous
change• Bar Graph – non-continuous change
Warm Up 8/27/13
Which of the following statements about chemical properties is true?A. They can be observed when the identity of a
substance changes.B. They can always be observed without changing the
identity of a substance.C. They are easier to observe than physical properties.D. They are the properties that are most useful in
identifying a substance.

Agenda & Homework
• Review homework• Dunkin’ For Density Lab
• Homework: study for tomorrow’s quiz (chapter 2.2 & 2.3 – check out Study Jams & Brain Pop, too)!
• Make a film canister float, suspend, and sink• Must have SOMETHING in the canister• Find MASS on the balance• Find VOLUME using displacement (see page 40
in science book)• Calculate DENSITY• Complete lab sheet (work with a group, but
each person must turn in his/her own sheet)
Volume by Displacement
• Fill a graduated cylinder to a known amount (example: 100 ml)
• Put your object in the cylinder (film canisters must be filled with water)
• Record the new height of the water (example: 137 ml)

• Qualitative – describable, not measureable » red flowers» smells like fresh baked cookies» Tastes bitter
• The skill of describing scientific events
Inference• Conclusions or deductions based on observations.• The process of drawing a conclusion from given evidence. • Using what you KNOW together with what you SEE to make
an EXPLANATION or PREDICTION
Practice: • Observations:
• I hear people screaming• I smell cotton candy, popcorn, and hamburgers• I see a lot of people
