DO NOW

• Design a procedure to answer a scientific question.

Compare and contrast

Independent and Dependent variables.

OBJECTIVES

DATE: 09/17/2014

Reminders

• Wednesday, Sept. 17: Experimental Design worksheet

• Thursday, Sept. 18: Science Buddies Activity• Friday, Sept. 19: QUIZ – Scientific notation

and Unit conversions

Additional Reminders

• Make better, detailed, quality observations.• Support all answers with evidence!• Team Work!

Calculate the Volume:

10 cm

5 cm

2 cm

V = L * H * WV = 10 cm * 5 cm * 2 cmV = 100 cm3

Lab: Volume Comparison

Questions: • When we vary the volume of water

(cm3) inside geometric cubes, how does the volume of the water in the graduated cylinder change? • What is the relationship between

cm3 and mL?

In your teams…

• Work together to design a procedure that will answer these two questions.

• Materials: – 3 geometric cubes– 1 graduated cylinder– 1 ruler

• Collect the data in an appropriate table.• Display your findings in a graph.• At least 3 data points.

By the end of today…

• DUE: 1 Procedure per team• We will perform the lab tomorrow.
