  1. Safety & Measurement

  2. Safety in the Science Classroom Safety in the Science Classroom Top Top 10 1. No eating or drinking 2. No playing around in the room 3. Follow all written & verbal directions 4. Do not touch anything until told 5. Wear safety goggles/gloves as needed 6. Report any accident immediately 7. Don t not touch or smell anything unless told 8. Do not remove anything from the classroom 9. Do not enter storage areas or open cabinets 10.Wash hands before leaving the science room 10

  3. Thinking Like a Scientist Thinking Like a Scientist Observe Question Hypothesize Record, Organize & Analyze Data Draw Conclusions Measure Infer Compare & Contrast Explain Model Communicate Practice Safety

  4. Measurement Measurement BrainPOP! Measuring Matter Metrics

  5. Measurement Measurement Practicing careful measurement is an important part of science. How do we measure? What units are used?

  6. Term Distance/Lengt h Volume Mass Density Amount of space an object takes up Amount of matter in an object A ratio that compares the mass of an object to its volume OR how tightly packed the matter is within an object. How far apart objects are or the physical length of an object Definition How can we find it? L x W x H OR displacement in water: Use a scale / balance Calculate Density: Car odometers Meter sticks Rulers Measuring tapes D= M / V (*Don t confuse mass with weight that is affected by the gravitational pull on an object) Measure the water in a graduated cylinder then drop in the object & measure again. Subtract the two amounts & you have the volume of the object. Density = Mass Volume

  7. Metric Units (commonly) Liter (ml OR kl) Grams (kg OR mg) Cubic centimeter cm3 Meter (km OR cm OR mm) Measured by Graduated Cylinder or Beaker Balance Calculation See above Practice Measuring (Always include units!) Reading a graduated cylinder: _____ _____ _____ Reading a beaker: _____ _____ _____ Using an electronic balance: Rock: _____ Paper clip: _____ Legos: _____ Using graduated cylinder & balance (follow displacement directions under volume & formula under density): Vol: ______ Mass: ______ Paper Clip: ____ Pen: ____ Table height: ____ Your shoe: ____ Door handle to floor:____ Volume using Displacement: Rock: _____ Mineral Density: ______

  8. Tools of Measurement Graduated Cylinder Beaker Triple Beam Balance Electronic Balance

  9. Metric Conversions Metric Conversions (King Henry Doesn t Usually Drink Chocolate Milk)

  10. Practicing Measurement Practicing Measurement We will do Displacement & Density together Group Rules: Little Voices Follow safety rules Respect each other Take turns Work together to accomplish your tasks Check your work especially the units you used! Clean up / straighten up materials

  11. Temperature Temperature Read the passage, Measuring Temperature Use the passage to help fill in the temps for the Measuring Temperature table Use the passage to answer the 3 questions Watch BrainPop: Temperature

  12. Measuring Temperature Freezing Point Boiling Point Celsius Fahrenheit 32 F 0 C 100 C 212 F Which one is used mostly in science? CELSIUS CELSIUS Which tool is used to measure temp? THERMOMETER THERMOMETER

  13. Why does the tool work? Why does the tool work? Thermometers work to determine temperature because liquid changes volume (the amount of space it takes up) based on the temperature. When a liquid is cold it takes up less space than it does when it is warmer. Thermometers use a large bulb filled with liquid & a small tube to show the changes because the changes are very small.

  14. Customary vs. Metric Measurement Customary vs. Metric Measurement Watch BrainPop: Customary Units Talk about converting from one to the other

  15. Review for the Quiz: Review for the Quiz: Safety & Measurement Safety & Measurement 1.Amount of matter in an object Matching: 2.A ratio that compares the mass of an object to its volume A. Mass B. Volume C. Density D. Weight 3.Affected by the amount of gravity pulling on an object 4.Amount of space an object takes up

  16. 1. A. Mass 2. C. Density 3. D. Weight 4. B. Volume

  17. 1.The basic unit for mass Matching Matching: 2.The basic unit for length A. Meter B. Gram C. Liter 3.The basic unit for volume

  18. 1.The basic unit for mass = B. gram 2.The basic unit for length = A. meter 3.The basic unit for volume = C. liter

  19. The thickness of a coin would be The thickness of a coin would be approximately 1 ___. approximately 1 ___. A. Meter B. Centimeter C. Millimeter D. Kilometer

  20. C. Millimeter

  21. The distance from the door knob to the floor is The distance from the door knob to the floor is approximately 1 ___. approximately 1 ___. A. Meter B. Centimeter C. Millimeter D. Kilometer

  22. A. Meter A. Meter A meter stick = the distance from the floor to the door handle

  23. If your family was planning a trip from home to If your family was planning a trip from home to California, which unit of measurement would you California, which unit of measurement would you use to figure out the distance you will travel? use to figure out the distance you will travel? A. Meter B. Centimeter C. Millimeter D. Kilometer

  24. D. Kilometer D. Kilometer

  25. What is each of these used to measure? What is each of these used to measure? (Answer choices: volume, distance, mass) (Answer choices: volume, distance, mass) Graduated Cylinder Balance Meter Stick Beaker

  26. Graduated Cylinder Balance Meter Stick Beaker Volume Mass Distance Volume

  27. What is the What is the freezing point freezing point of water using each scale: of water using each scale: Celsius scale = ____ Fahrenheit scale = ____

  28. Celsius scale = 0 Celsius scale = 0 C C Fahrenheit scale = 32 Fahrenheit scale = 32 F F

  29. Complete the metric conversions, using the ladder Complete the metric conversions, using the ladder (K King H Henry D Doesn t U Usually D Drink C Chocolate M Milk) 1) 3000 mg = ___ g 4) 550 m = ___ km 5) 150 cm = ___ mm 2) 18 km = ___ m 6) 4000 mm = ___ Km 3) 7 L = ___ mL

  30. (K King H Henry D Doesnt U Usually D Drink C Chocolate M Milk) 1) 3000 mg = 3 g 4) 550 m = .55 km 2) 18 km = 18,000 m 5) 150 cm = 1500 mm 3) 7 L = 7,000 mL 6) 4000 mm = .004 Km

  31. List as many science List as many science lab safety rules lab safety rules as you can think of as you can think of GO GO! !
