20. Special Assignment: Bumper Sticker You are a year older, so old, almost dead. If you could say one thing before you left this earth what would it be? Here is your assignment. Create a bumper sticker telling people your “Famous Last Words” What would be the last thing you would say, or the one thing you would hope people would know/hear from you if it was the only/last thing they heard. Please no profanity, drug/alcohol references. This will be on the top half of page “0” (next to page 1) Needs to have a title (5 points), 4 colors (5 points), and a description (5 points)

21. Science = Observation Sir Isaac Newton Newton was a scientist in the 1600’s. The story goes that one day while sitting in his orchard drinking tea, an apple fell and hit him on the head. From that point he studied why, he observed. He concluded that the moon, the earth and literally everything was affected by gravity. Gravity was a puller. The stronger the pull, the more gravity. Have you ever asked why? Have you ever taken anything apart?

22. The Nature of Science Main Idea: How do we “do” science? • Scientists observe. • Sometimes your observations/assumptions/hypothesis could be false, or not what you expected, but does that make your “experiment” a failure? • Many scientists have had revolutionary breakthroughs because of something in their experiment that they did not account for…. • For example….

23. Science is Observation AlexanderFleming How many of you have ever been sick? While trying to find cures for harmful bacteria and viruses he noticed something that would revolutionize medicine. Lets back up…

24. Science is Observation Scientists often use “petri dishes” to, grow, or try to kill certain bacteria in an isolated environment. Here you can see a lab assistant holding a petri dish with bacteria growing in it. AlexanderFleming

25. Alexander Fleming BONUS! One day while he was working on some petri dishes (again) he had a runny nose and it dripped (NASTY) into the dish. He then noticed that it killed the bacteria he was working on! Thus, Dr. Bonehead Fleming found another cure by pure luck! Natural tears and nasal mucus that helped the body fight germs. LYSOZOMES!! Sound familiar? LYSOL is the derived from that concept.

26. The Nature of Science Main Idea: How do we “do” science? • Scientists test results • Scientists have to ensure that their finding was not pure bonehead luck but actual retraceable steps and experiments. Scientists repeat experiments to ensure their accuracy.

27. The Nature of Science Main Idea: How do we “do” science? • Scientists investigate • Through OBSERVATIONS, scientists formulate and answer questions about how things work. • Remember the assumptions or HYPOTHESIS we came up with about the person who wore the shoes? Scientists investigate, scientists ask questions. • Scientists plan experiments • Before you can experiment you have to plan what you are experimenting. • You must state exactly what you are going to test in order for someone else to copy it exactly and prove if it works.

28. PROVE IT! Science = Observation Science tests what we can see… So lets see what you see….. Many professions rely on their ability to observe… Different points of view/emotions will give produce observations.

29. Shoe Lab Observation 1: Find a shoe on the other side of the room and write 5 things about that shoe from where you sit, include a brief sketch of what you see from where you sit. Observation 2: Look again, what 3 things can you infer about the person wearing that shoe? Observation 3: Look AGAIN! What 3 other judgments/inferences can you make about that person based on their shoe whether you are right or wrong? Sometimes “observations” aren’t just looking. What decisions or judgments could you make just by looking at your shoes? Name 4 professions you think observations would be a critical skill to have?

30. Have your cover/surveys out for me to check. You lose 5 points each day they are late. • Number pages 1-50 by MONDAY! (DON’T NUMBER YOUR DQ’s!)

39. The Way Science Works

40. Daily Questions #4 (in the back!) 1. Make a Line graph of the average rainfall in California for the Last 10 years based on the chart on the right. Measured in inches. 2. Based on the chart, which year did we Receive the LEAST amount of rain? 3. Based on the chart, which year did we Receive the MOST amount of rain. 4. Round each number to its nearest whole Number and figure out the TOTAL average Rainfall California experienced each year. 5. Based on your answer, which year(s) is most like the average? C.O. – SW understand the importance of following directions and problem solving in the scientific method. L.O. – SW work together to solve problems with ropes and knots.

41. Tying the knot (page 3) Pre-lab questions What do you think are the three most important things to pay attention to in a lab/experiment? Why would it be important to number your steps as a scientist? Why would it be important to include the exact materials and measurements used in an experiment? Why would you only want to test 1 variable at a time in an experiment?

42. Tying the knot… Procedure Write and draw a diagram for each step in your notebook of how you would describe to a person how to tie a knot in a piece of rope assuming that they have never encountered a piece of rope before. Remember, assume they do not know anything! 3-4 minutes, share

43. Tying the knot… Procedure Fix your directions to make it more accurate and REPRODUCE-ABLE. Failure RELIES on the ability to do something again in a different way to be successful the next time.

44. Tying the knot… Procedure Now, see if you can solve this: lay your rope flat on your desk. You may not lift the rope or move the rope off of your desk until you have grabbed it with both hands. As soon as you grab the rope, you cannot let go. Now once you have it in both hands, tie a knot. Extra credit?

45. Daily Questions #5 (in the back!) What would be the best measurement (from below) to use to measure the amount of (1) liquid in a soda can.(2) A cooking pot. (3) A swimming pool? A. Microliters (mL) B. Milliliters (mL) C. liters (L) What is your height? Convert to inches? Convert your height to meters (about 39 inches in 1 meter). How many days are in a year? Hours? Minutes? Seconds? (You DON’T need a calculator, do the math!) What unit of time would you use to measure Mr. McCabe.. Running to the drinking fountain Driving to San Diego Driving to New York I gave you $1,000. Draw a pie chart representing how you would spend your money.

46. The Way Science Works (start notes on page 1) • Identifying problems, planning experiments, recording observations and reporting data are most important to any scientist. • Critical thinking is thinking logically • Blue light special, aisle 3… who doesn’t want to save money! • As a productive person (not just science) you need to be able to communicate AND READ DIRECTIONS! • PAGE 0, under bumper sticker, label it: Tying the Knot. • What are examples of skills that Biologists need?

47. The Way Science Works • The Scientific Method is a series of steps used to organize thoughts and plan an experiment in order to solve a problem. • Scientists need to REPRODUCE experiments, so a clear hypothesis (if…then.. Statement) and accuracy are very important. • Copy this chart AND COLOR on TOP HALF of page 5! Describe the steps of the Scientific Method C.O. – SW understand essential skills that scientists need to be successful. L.O. – SW diagram the scientific method and create a cube that represents a system.

48. 1. Observe/ Choose a problem. State the problem as a question. 7. Draw Conclusions. Analyze your data and summarize your findings. 2. Research your problem. Read, get advice, and make observations. Steps of the Scientific Method 6. Organize your data. Create a chart or graph of your data. 3. Develop a hypothesis. Make a prediction about what will happen. 5. Test your hypothesis. Conduct a controlled experiment and record the data. 4. Design an experiment. Plan how you will test your hypothesis.
