Science Week 2012

Presented by Erin-Leigh Glab

Science Week 2011

Today’s presentation will include…

A brief explanation of each grade level project, including appropriate correlation to COJOWA’s Science and Technology standards.

A description of the week’s proposed schedule, updated floor plans, and opening/closing ceremonies.

A preliminary budget for the week, including: Project materials for all grade levels Decorations Prizes Table Rentals

Agenda

Grade Level ProjectsIncluding correlation to standards and benchmarks

Project Proposal:Catch me if you can! Students will

conduct an experiment to explore how the color of an organism’s skin can protect it in the environment.

Kinder

A-maze-ing Plants! Students will design

a shoebox maze in which a plant will travel through to reach light.

SC1.5.1 Knows the basic needs of plants and animals (e.g., air, water, nutrients, light or food, shelter)

1st Grade

Junk Music Students will create

their own musical instruments with recycled household objects.

SC2.9.4 Knows that sound is produced by vibrating objects

2nd Grade

Egg Drop Students will design and

build an “egg safe” container that will keep it safe from a free fall drop. The project will culminate in COJOWA’s Annual Egg Drop Contest.

SC3.10.2 Knows that the Earth’s gravity pulls any object toward it without touching it

SC3.10.5 Knows that things move in many different ways (e.g., straight line, zigzag, vibration, circular motion)

3rd Grade

Roller Coaster Physics

Students will design and build a roller coaster that demonstrates the concepts of kinetic/potential energy, force, and gravity. Students will calculate speed as the change in distance over time.

SC4.10.4 Knows that an object’s motion can be described by tracing and measuring its position over time

4th Grade

Cartagena E.P.A.

Students will investigate methods of cleaning an oil spill using “natural” or everyday household materials.

SC5.6.5 Knows that all organisms (including humans) cause changes in their environments, and these changes can be beneficial or detrimental.

5th Grade

Science Fair Students will design and

conduct an experiment to explore a topic of their choice under the general “theme” of the year. 6th grade: Integrated 7th Grade: Earth Science 8th Grade: Life Science

Standard varies, dependent on student choice.

Middle School

The Way It Works Students will create a

working model of an electronic circuit which must be functional for a daily purpose.

Standard: Uses technology (e.g., hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics (e.g., measurement, formulas, charts, graphs) to perform accurate scientific investigations and communications.

9th Grade

Disasters of the Human Body Students will research the

common diseases for a human body system of their choice. They will create an audiovisual presentation where each group will show and inform the classes about signs and symptoms of the illnesses, the physiology of the sick body, the pharmacologic treatment and surgical treatment if it exists.

Standard: Uses technology (e.g., hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics (e.g., measurement, formulas, charts, graphs) to perform accurate scientific investigations and communications.

10th Grade

Bottle Rockets Students will design and build a

totally functional small-scaled rocked mode,l propelled by the strength of pressurized air.

Standard: Uses technology (e.g., hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics (e.g., measurement, formulas, charts, graphs) to perform accurate scientific investigations and communications.

10th Grade

Spaghetti Bridges

Students will design and build a bridge using only spaghetti and glue. Students will test bridges for weight resistance.

Standard: Uses technology (e.g., hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics (e.g., measurement, formulas, charts, graphs) to perform accurate scientific investigations and communications.

11th Grade
