Turn in your syllabus and lab safety form in the folder at the front table.

Pick up a Focus Lesson from the front desk. Immediately begin the work below:

This class you are going to complete the Definition Column of the Handout- use a text

book to define the words.

This should be a REVIEW of middle school science.

You have 10 minutes

BELL WORK

When you’ve finished…◦Return text books to the cart.

◦One person from your table group should collect the FCIM handouts.

◦You will get a group folder. This is where your focus lessons will be stored for the rest of the year.

◦The other members of the group should take out their interactive notebooks.◦Desks should be cleared of all materials except for the notebook

and a writing utensil.

You have 1 minute

Science Notebooks◦Open up your notebook: ◦Write your name, class period, the class website on the

inside cover. (www.edwhitebiology.weebly.com)

◦Number the pages (1-50) of your science notebook- the table of contents is on page 1.◦Page 2 is the back of Page 1◦Odds will be on the RIGHT◦Evens will be on the LEFT

You have 5 minutes

Scientific

Method

Problem: What do you want to answer?

Research: Who else has tried to answer this question? What did they find?

Hypothesis: Based on your research, what do you think the answer to your problem will be?

Experiment: Collect data using a procedure

Analysis: What does your data mean?

Conclusion: Which answer does your data support?

Peer Review: Let other scientists see it!

Reflect on these notes! Page 4

◦On the top half of page 4◦Diagram/ Draw the steps of the scientific method◦Use arrows to show how you think they are connected◦Is it a straight line?◦Is it a cycle?

◦USE COLOR! There are colored pencils in your pencil case

Notes: Page 5 (THIS ALL HAS TO FIT!!)

Experiment Variables: factors, traits, conditions which can be

changed Independent Variable: What

the scientist changes, or controls

Dependent Variable: What the scientist observes, measures

Measurement Science uses the METRIC systemData Ex. meter, liter, gram

Tables: Organize data Graphs: Visual display of data

Biology The science of living things

◦These are the procedures you need to follow to gather your data.

◦READ THEM.◦As a table complete the handout to design your experiment.◦Raise your hand when you’ve designed your lab, and I will

give you your materials.

Page 6: Left Side◦Create a Data Table to organize your results◦Graph your data. Be sure to identify your independent and dependent variables so that your graph is labeled correctly.

Exit Slip:

◦ Answer the five questions, following our independent work procedures.
