Warm Up (on a scrap piece of paper)• What is an observation? Define in your own words• Look at the image below & make 3 observations
• No Talking…No Exceptions
Housekeeping / Announcements• Did anyone remember….• Parent Survey • Signed Syllabus • CMS Forms
• Homework: Quiz tomorrow! After the quiz, we will trade and grade and track our mastery. Afterwards, we will begin our Smarties activity.
Let’s Check for Learning
• Watch this Wright brothers video using the scientific method.
• What was the purpose?• What research was done?• What was their hypothesis?• What experiments did they do?• What analysis was done?• What was their conclusion?
Continue writing notes on the left side :
Paper Airplanes• Write “Paper Airplanes Experiment” and
underline it.
• The next slide has a lot of information…..• You will only be taking notes today, so write all
notes thoroughly and completely to help you complete our activities on Wednesday and Thursday
Purpose: How can I make this airplane fly farther.
Research: I know that paper airplanes fly better when: they have wing flaps; I use tape; and they have some kind of “nose.”
Hypothesis: I think that airplanes with pointed noses will fly farther than ones with square noses
Experiment: 1) Make 2 paper airplanes that are mostly the same. 2) Make one nose square. 3) Throw each plane 10 times. 4) Measure the distance they go. 5) Make a graph.
Analysis: My graph shows that the plane with the square nose went farther than the pointed nose one… Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong. I thought that the pointed-nose airplane would go farther, but actually, the square-nose one went farther.

Observations• Any information collected with the senses.
These are facts. – Sight– Smell– Taste– Touch– Hearing
Continue writing notes on the left side
•Two types of observations: • Qualitative (leave space in notebook)• Skip 6 lines• Quantitative (leave space in notebook)
Continue writing notes on the left side
Qualitative Qualitative: describes something that
can be observed but not measured.
» smells like fresh baked cookies» tastes bitter» red sunset
Qualitative Activity
• Draw a picture of something you can make a qualitative example of
• Activity: on the right side of your notebook• describe your picture with a qualitative statement
My Qualitative example: My flower has soft petals
Continue writing notes on the left side
Quantitative • It is measureable or countable
» 3 meters long» 4 marbles
• the quantity of something (can be a length, a weight, a temperature)
• Think: QuaNtitative: N = Numbers
Activity: on the right side of your notebook1.Draw a picture of something quantitative 2. Write a quantitative statement for your picture.
My Quantitative example:• my flower has 5 petals

Object Qualitative Observation
Quantitative Observation
Continue writing notes on left side
Inference• Inference: Making a guess or prediction
based on what you observe.
• observation + observation inference
Continue writing notes on left side
Remember, how do we observe?
Observations can be _________ & ________
We know that observations lead to inferences……so now it’s your turn……
Continue writing notes on left side
Inference Practice:• Observations:• I hear people screaming• I smell popcorn and cotton candy• Hamburgers cost $5.00 each• I see 15 of people in line
• Inference = ?• Now, turn and talk with your partner
Look at these two sets of animal tracks.
Write “Animal Tracks Observation”
Observation 1-
Observation 2-
Observation 3-
Inference-
Cut and Sort Activity
• Each pair will receive a set of directions • Follow each step as we go over
them together as a whole group• Follow along…. Step 1
Cut and Sort Activity (right side)your page should look like this
Scientific MethodSteps
Example 1 -Airplanes Example 2 -
Flowers
Cut and Sort Activity (right side)
• Follow along as we continue with the step 2 directions….
• You will each cut out the Scientific Method Steps
• You will work with your table partner to put these in the correct order
• As a pair, you must agree on the order• Once you agree, glue them in the Scientific
Method column
Cut and Sort Activity
• Follow the directions and complete the cut and sort for:
• Example 1 – Airplanes
• Example 2 – Flowers
Cut and Sort Activity
• You should now have all three columns filled
• Let’s go over these together….
• We will now begin our next group activity….

Classifying : Inferences & Observations
• You will work with your table partner to complete this activity
• As a pair, you will read each statement together and discuss if the statement is
• an Inference or an Observation
Classifying : Inferences & Observations
• When you and your partner agree,
write ‘I’ for inference or ‘O’ for observation beside each statement
Example: Ms. Sproule’s hair is brown ‘O’
Review Statements
• As a class, we will review each statement to determine if it is an
Inference (I) or Observation (O)
Graphic Organizer Completion
• When you finish classifying each statement:
• Copy at least 5 inferences into the oval
• Copy at least 5 observations in the rectangle under the correct column heading:
• Quantitative (can be measured, a number)• Qualitative (can only be observed, not measured)
Graphic Organizer Completion
• Now that we have classified each statement, you will
• Write inferences in the oval
• Write observations in the rectangle under the correct column heading:
• Quantitative (can be measured, a number)• Qualitative (can only be observed, not measured)
Graphic Organizer
• Next you will make up on your own:• 2 inferences• 2 qualitative observations• 2 quantitative observations
• Add these to either the oval (inferences) or the rectangle (qualitative / quantitative)
Graphic Organizer
• Now make up :• 3 inferences – add to the oval
• 2 qualitative observations • 2 quantitative observations
add to rectangle
Graphic Organizer
• Now make up :• 3 inferences – add to the oval
• 2 qualitative observations • 2 quantitative observations
add to rectangle
Graphic Organizer into Interactive Notebook
• Take and fold your graphic organizer and glue into your notebook on the right side
