Weekly Science Agenda: Learning about SI Units, Graphing, and Linear Functions - Prof. Pam, Lab Reports of Earth Sciences

The objectives, engage activities, explore tasks, explain concepts, elaborate projects, and assessment methods for a science class during the week of july 15-19. Topics covered include measuring objects using si units, generating scatter plots, significant figures, circumference vs. Diameter, density, motion detection, and linear functions.

Objective(s): SWBAT
*measure objects using SI Units
*generate scatter plots
Engage
Contest for student to estimate
measurements
Explore
Students measure objects (in both
SI units and English units) to
determine if their estimates were
accurate
Explain
Students record their
measurements as a class to create
a scatter plot
Evaluate
Students list the measurements
recorded by the end of class along
with a scatter plot and turn in their
work
Objective(s): SWBAT
*state in writing an application of
significant figures with regards to
a measuring device
*convert between units
*determine a line of best fit
Engage
Warm Up for students to state
observations about the scatter plot
Explore
LAB: Circumference vs.
Diameter
Explain
Students state the significance of
a point on the graph and
formulate an equation based on
the line of best fit
Elaborate
Students determine values for
Circumference and Diameter of
objects they do not measure by
using an equation
Evaluate
Students write three statements
and a conclusion statement for the
data represented by the graph
Assessment(s):
Lab Report
Quiz
Objective(s): SWBAT
*convert between units
*state in writing the relationship
of density derived from a
graphical representation
Engage
Warm Up for students to use
graphs to convert units
Explore
LAB: Density of Godzilla
Explain
Students graph the data from the
lab and write three statements and
a conclusion statement for the
data
Elaborate
Students create graphs given a
relationship
