Why is the sky blue?

Earth is surround in something called

an atmosphere


6

October 07, 2018

The atmosphere is filled with different

particles like air (O2), carbon dioxide

(CO2), Nitrogen (N), and etc.

These particles allow all color light pass

through them except the color blue

Like a mirror that reflects all color light,

these air molecules reflect the blue color.

The blue color scatter. The blue color light

bounces off numerous particles and colors

the sky blue.

Scientific Inquiry Steps

Does milk help a plant grow

better than water can?

- what do you know already?


Plants need water, sun light, and carbon

dioxide to grow

Plants need water, sun light, and carbon

dioxide to grow

- what do you know already?Plants need water, sun light, and carbon

dioxide to grow

Milk has more minerals like calcium,

magnesium, zinc and etc. compared to

water

- collect information that may

help make a hypothesis


13

October 07, 2018

My hypothesis is that

milk will help the plant

grow faster than water

My hypothesis is that

water will help a plant

grow faster than milk.

*experiments must be repeatable!

*experiments must be repeatable!

Have 2 plants that are the same. both given

the same amount of sunlight, soil, amount of

liquids, all given at the same time. The only

thing that changes is the type of liquid.

One gets milk and one gets water

Independent variable = the one

factor that gets changed

What is the one thing I am changing

between these two plants?

What does our data

tell us? What can we

conclude?

"based on our data, we can conclude that....."

correct?


21

October 07, 2018

your

hypothesis was

You re-think a new hypothesis and do the

experiment again!

Why do you think it is important to only

have 1 factor that changes?

for example, different amount of sun

light and different liquids?


22

October 07, 2018

We wont be able to tell what actually

caused the plant to grow, amount of sun

light or type of fluid.

that is why we only test for 1 thing
