Why are we learning this?? Summer time spent with WellHome.
Home Energy Audits and Installation company
Slide 3
Doodle Sheet A Answer these questions on your doodle sheet. Is
your home comfortable (temperature)? Is it too hot during the
summer and too cold during the winter? Why do you think it is
comfortable or too hot or too cold?
Slide 4
Doodle Sheet B Write 4 questions about insulation on your
doodle sheet.
Slide 5
Problem: When spraying in insulation in a roof for a client,
there was a problem. When the insulation was installed there was
room to move around in the attic. The $2200.00 worth of insulation
was removed and replaced. How do we approach this problem to
prevent this from happening?
Slide 6
Record on to your log sheet Driving Question: What steps do we
need to take to solve this problem? do not show to students
Slide 7
Doodle Sheet C What questions can we ask about solving this
problem?
Slide 8
OBSERVATION LAB You will be looking at 8 different samples.
With your group determine 6 characteristics that you will describe
the samples. Record all your information on the lab sheet
Slide 9
Record the first step in your Log sheet: Step 1: Using your
senses to observe interactions around the real world.
Slide 10
Record this on your Log Sheet Step 2: Ask Questions
Slide 11
Write this on your LOG SHEET STEP 3: A Hypothesis is an
explanation for a question that can be formally tested. a.k.a: an
educated guess! Ifthenbecause.
Slide 12
In a well designed Experiment, you need to keep all variables
the same except one. Independent Variable: The factor that is
changed in an experiment. Dependent Variable: The results of the
changes. Control: The factor(s) that remains the same! Controlled
Experiment: An experiment where all factors except one are kept the
same; all of these factors are called the controlled variables
Slide 13
For Example Question: Which freezes fasterfresh water or salt
water? Hypothesis: IF I add salt to fresh water, THEN the salt
water will take longer to freeze Experiment: Independent Variable:
the salt that is added to the water Dependent Variable: the time it
takes for the water to freeze Control: The fresh water. Controlled
Experiment: All factors, or potential variables are kept the same,
such as temperature and amount of water
Slide 14
LAB: Insulation Expansion Lab
Slide 15
Step 4: Test Your Hypothesis
Slide 16
Doodle Sheet D What are important aspects when performing a lab
experiment?
Slide 17
Doodle Sheet E When looking at data, what do we need to do to
make this information useful? Record your answers in Doodle Sheet
E.
Slide 18
Step 5 Record this on your LOG Sheet COLLECT DATA: The
observations and measurements you make in an experiment are called
Data. Examples of data are values in pH, temperature, measurements,
color.
Slide 19
Record onto your LOG Sheet Step 6: Analyze your data Did your
experiment support your hypothesis?
Slide 20
Record on to LOG Sheet Step 7: Conclusion: a summary of the
research and the results of the experiment
Slide 21
Record onto LOG Sheet Step 8: Retest
Slide 22
Final Assessment Be complete in your responses. Address each
