• Now, open up your notebook

Interactive NotebookOn the Inside Cover: Interactive Notebook rubric

This will be given out tomorrow for you to glue inside the front cover (left side)

On the right side will be a place to draw your cover.

Interactive Notebooks

• Now write “TABLE OF CONTENTS” on the top of the second page in your

notebook on the right side.

Interactive Notebookit should look like this

This inside cover will remain blank today Table of Contents of

Contents

Interactive Notebooks

• Turn the Table of Contents page over and count four more pages.

• After counting, now write 1 on the upper LEFT side of your notebook, outside the margin

11

Interactive Notebooks

• On this same page with “1” on it, you will write “Scientific Process” and write the date: 9/3/13

Quick Overview of NotebooksVery Important: • Teacher notes will be on the LEFT side of the

notebook. • Teacher Notes = Lecture notes; this is the

information I tell you to copy into your notebook

• Maybe it will take you three pages to write your notes but DO NOT add numbers at the top of pages until I tell you to.

Quick Overview of Notebooks

• Very Important: • Student work will be on the RIGHT side of the

notebook = station work, student input

• The next entry we do, will be TOMORROW when we do our stations.

• Each station will start a new page number AND will be added to the table of contents.

Interactive Notebooks

• We write the important information you in our notebooks when instructed.

• These notes are what will help you complete the activities on Wednesday and Thursday.

• If you finish early, sit quietly or read a book . • DO NOT draw on your notebooks. • Remember, I grade them every FRIDAY and I

will pass out a grading rubric tomorrow.

Our First Official Entry!

• Here it comes!

Scientific Process Video

• http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/scientific-inquiry/scientific-methods.htm

Students you will write this on page 1 under the heading ‘Scientific Process’• Scientific Method Steps and Definitions:

– Purpose: State the problem

– Research: find out about the topic

– Hypothesis: predict the outcome to the problem.

Continue writing notes on the left side

– Experiment: develop a procedure to test the hypothesis

– Analysis: record the results of the experiment

– Conclusion: compare the hypothesis to the experiment’s conclusion.

Let’s Check for Learning

• Watch this Wright brothers video using the scientific method.

• What was the purpose?• What research was done?• What was their hypothesis?• What experiments did they do?• What analysis was done?• What was their conclusion?

Continue writing notes on the left side :

Paper Airplanes• Write “Paper Airplanes Experiment” and

underline it.

• The next slide has a lot of information…..• You will only be taking notes today, so write all

notes thoroughly and completely to help you complete our activities on Wednesday and Thursday

Purpose: How can I make a paper airplane fly farther.

Research: I know that paper airplanes fly better when: they have wing flaps; I use tape; and they have some kind of “nose.”

Hypothesis: I think that airplanes with pointed noses will fly farther than ones with square noses

Experiment: 1) Make 2 paper airplanes (one square nose, one pointed)2) Throw each plane 10 times. 3) Measure the distance4) Make a graph.

Analysis: My graph shows that the plane with the square nose went farther than the pointed nose one. Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong. I though that the pointed-nose airplane would go farther, but actually, the square-nose one went further.

Observations• Any information collected with the senses. – Sight– Smell– Taste– Touch– Hearing

• Observations Definition: using senses to gather information

• Observations can be…..

Continue writing notes on the left side

Quantitative •Measureable or countable

» 3 meters long» 4 marbles» 50 kilograms» 35 degrees Celsius

•measuring, or measured by the quantity of something (a length, the number of marbles, a weight, a temperature)

• QuaNtitative: N = Numbers

Quantitative Activity

• Think of something quantitative. • Turn and Share with a neighbor. • Now draw a picture of something quantitative

on the right side of your interactive notebook and label your picture:

Quantitative example.• For example: the flower has

5 petals

Qualitative Observations

• Describable, not measureable » purple flowers» smells like fresh baked cookies» Tastes bitter» red sunset

• Definition: describes something that can be observed but not measured.

Qualitative Activity

• Now think back to the picture you drew, describe your picture with a qualitative statement

• For example: blue flowers

Inference• Conclusions or deductions based on

observations. Educated guess.

• observation + observation inference

Remember, how do we observe? Observations can be _________ & _________.....These lead to inferences……

Now it’s your turn……

Inference Practice:• Observations:• I hear people screaming• I smell popcorn and cotton candy• Hamburgers cost $5.00 each• I see a lot of people in line

• Inference = ?• Now, turn and talk with your partner

Look at these two sets of animal tracks.
