Mar 14-18, 2022

WEEKLY EXPLORATIONS...

QUESTIONS: 

How does gravity affect matter on Earth the same? Do all objects fall at the same rate? Does the shape of matter affect gravity? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?

In-Class:

Monday  

No Class - Pi Day

Assignment: None Today

Tuesday

QUESTION: 

What is gravity?  How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Does location affect gravity?  

1. Glue Shadows Sheet into Journal & Update Table of Contents 2. What is Gravity: Launch Unit & fill out the Know & Want to Learn part of the KWL Sheet... 3. Lesson about Gravity & Create Anchor Chart in your science journal (copy from a friend) 4. Read Text Pg. 280 & add to Create Anchor Chart

Assignment: Read Text  (pg. 278-282 but skip pg. 279) and on your KWL Form, record AT LEAST 3 (or more!) facts you learn about Gravity from reading your textbook (Do NOT stop reading once you have 3 facts, be sure to read to the end)

Wednesday

QUESTION: 

How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Do all objects fall at the same rate?

Does the shape of matter affect gravity? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?

1. What is Gravity?: We shared our  KWL Sheet "What I Learned"...

2. Videos: Crash Course: Gravity

3. Google Classroom Group Task: Plan a Complete Investigation using the Scientific Process.... and then DO the investigation!

Finish this Task in Study Hall if you didn't finish in class.... be ready to share your conclusions tomorrow.

Thursday

QUESTION: 

How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Do all objects fall at the same rate?

Does the shape of matter affect gravity? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?

1. Share Conclusions from yesterday's simple experiment.... 

             BIG IDEA: procedure needs to be SUPER SPECIFIC!

2. Discuss: Fair Tests - what does this mean?  Take Notes!

3. Begin steps 1-3 of our next INVESTIGATION! (Handout)

    For step 2 research, watch this video about Galileo's experiment performed around the year 1590

We will DO the remaining steps of the investigation tomorrow in class!

Friday

FAMILY DAY ACTIVITIES!

QUESTIONS:

How does gravity affect matter on Earth the same? Do all objects fall at the same rate? Does the shape of matter affect gravity? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity? 1. Make 4 predictions 2. Today's Investigation: Teacher's Instruction & Demonstration 3. Complete steps 4-7 of 2nd GRAVITY INVESTIGATION! 4. Group Share: Share your lab group's Results 5. Discuss the predictions we made at the start of class...

Watched this video to help us with our conclusions

Planning Ahead:

No major tests/projects this week
