1 Observe/Measure 1.1 (Observe and measure using SI units) mass length time appropriate type of unit, appropriate type of tool volume temperature International System of Units grams milligrams meters millimeters centimeters kilometers liters milliliters Celsius degree microscope magnifier graduated cylinder spring scales metric rulers metric balance thermometer triple beam balance equal arm balance double pan balance metric 1.2 (Compare/contrast characteristics in a given set) characteristic beaker hotplate anemometer stopwatch hand lens rain gauge digital thermometer Classify 2.1 (classify using 3 properties dichotomous keys) no more than 3 properties classify- establish an order dichotomous key 2.2 (Arrange in serial order) greatest least fewest closest slowest fastest sequence

2 Experiment 3.2 (parts/order of investigation) order of investigation procedures (what step is not needed or has been left out) number of tested variables purpose of experiment variable experiment- a method of discovering information. data hypothesis procedure investigation bar graph trend graph circle graph trend 4.3 (make predictions based on data) prediction evidence data pattern 4.4 (Communicate results/explain based on data) evaluate data to draw conclusions Observation Conclusion 3.4 (safety) recognize potential hazards hair pulled back, tasting a liquid hazard laboratory field Interpret and Communicate 4.2 (recognize trends in data, relationships between multiple data sets, interpret graphs) interpret- the process of recognizing patterns in collected data by making inferences, predictions, or conclusions communicating- the process of describing, recording, and reporting procedures and results. table line graph

3 Properties of Matter and Energy 1.1 (Matter has physical properties) mass is equal to the sum of its parts after a physical change, total amount of matter does not change compare rate of change infer cause of change energy is required to produce some physical changes matter physical property- all objects have physical properties that can be used to identify, organize, and classify. color texture shape energy physical change- the total amount of matter stays the same, energy required. size mass hardness density boiling point melting point freezing point cutting heating melting grinding polishing state of matter 1.2 (physical properties can be observed, described, and measured using tools) spring scale metric ruler metric balance Celsius thermometer meter stick triple beam balance double pan balance equal arm balance magnifying glass hand lens microscope digital thermometer graduated cylinder test tube stopwatch sound position volume length temperature 1.3 (energy transfer: heat, light, sound, motion, electrical) sun to air, water, and metal electricity to heat, light to electricity, potential to kinetic, kinetic to potential energy changes can be measured (heat, sound, light)

4 conductors- metals insulators- substances that transfer no or very little energy (wood, cotton). electricity kinetic energy potential energy 1.4 (potential, kinetic energy) an object can have both kinetic and potential at the same time, kinetic and potential can be changed into other types of energy, predict where the energy may be at its largest/smallest in relation to position gravitational elastic chemical pendulum Law of Conservation of Energy- energy cannot be either created nor destroyed, but it can change forms.

5 Organisms/Environments 2.1 (organisms depend on each other for food, shelter, and reproduction) organisms and their interactions: producers, consumers, decomposers; organisms dependent on others for seed dispersal, nest sites, shelter. The effect of predator/prey relationships on population organism environment dependent ecosystem shelter reproduction food chain food web energy pyramid community producer- able to use energy (light, chemical) to help make their own food. consumer- needs to consume other organisms to obtain energy. decomposer- get their energy from dead plant or animal material. predator prey population 2.2 (changes in environmental conditions due to human or natural phenomena affect organisms/species survival) (polluting by humans, clean-up by humans, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, floods) natural vs. man-made products, advantages vs. disadvantages of conservation, impact of human/natural phenomena on food supply, air quality, water quality, habitats phenomena survival non-renewable resource- not all natural resources are non-renewable renewable resource recycle- using part or all of a material to manufacture another product. reuse- using items for an additional purpose that it was not initially made for. reduce- electricity, paper, wood, metal, etc. conserve resources quality pollution earthquake tornado hurricane flood habitat species migrate

6 Earth/Solar System 3.1 (soil consists of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material from dead plants, animals, and bacteria. soil is found in layers) soil identify materials that make up soil, process needed to make soil, importance of soil types to plant growth, ability of soil type to hold water, explain why water passes through soil at different rates (porosity, particle size) soil composition and soil types composition weathering decompose organic bacteria porosity particle sift silt pebble clay sand mixture 3.2 (weather exhibits daily and seasonal patterns) cloud types, air temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, precipitation describe the motion of a front (sawtooth/bumps indicate direction) cloud predict weather changes after cold/warm front passes (cooler/warmer temp, rainfall/no rainfall, stronger/weaker winds, change in wind direction, type of cloud expected), temperature based on wind direction seasonal patterns in Northern/Southern hemisphere cumulus cirrus stratus nimbus cumulonimbus wind direction wind speed humidity precipitation seasonal thermometer barometer anemometer rain gauge weather map forecast high pressure low pressure warm front cold front
