|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scientists use different tools for different jobs. The tools include | thermometers, rulers, stopwatches, graduated cylinders, and balance scales
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| During experiments | Be safe, follow lab rules, and talk to the teacher if there is a problem.
🗑
|
||||
| In order for an investigation to have valid results: | You must do at least 3 trials. Scientists repeat their experiments several times until they can verify their results and then draw valid conclusions.
🗑
|
||||
| When you do an experiment: | Everything should be kept the same except what you are testing.
🗑
|
||||
| How many variables in an investigation can be changed? | One variable. Everything else must remain the same.
🗑
|
||||
| Finding out what has changed and what is being measured: | Can help identify the question being tested.
🗑
|
||||
| Priority in any science investigation | Safety first.
🗑
|
||||
| Liquids | Never breathe in any.
🗑
|
||||
| Safety with clothing | Goggles when working with any liquid. Tie back long hair or long sleeves. Apron.
🗑
|
||||
| Know safety symbols | eye protection, apron, toxic chemicals, gloves, recycle, flammable, fire extinguisher, no open flames, electrical hazard

|
||||
| What should you always do AFTER an experiment? | Wash hands.
🗑
|
||||
| Length can be measured with: | metric ruler or meter stick
🗑
|
||||
| Mass is measured with a: | balance (which can be a simple pan balance or triple beam balance).
🗑
|
||||
| Time is measured with: | stopwatch or timer
🗑
|
||||
| Volume is measured with: | graduated cylinder, beaker or measuring cup.
🗑
|
||||
| Collecting net can be used to: | catch flying or swimming critters.
🗑
|
||||
| Thermometer | Tool used to measure temperature.
🗑
|
||||
| Scientists measure temperature in: | Celsius
🗑
|
||||
| Safety goggles | Used to protect your eyes when ding experiments in lab.
🗑
|
||||
| Scale with spring | Used to measure weight. It is measured in metric units (milligram, gram and kilogram).
🗑
|
||||
| Apron | Used to protect clothing and chest area while working on experiments.
🗑
|
||||
| Triple beam balance | Used to measure MASS in the metric system. Each bar represents a different place value hundreds, tens and ones.
🗑
|
||||
| Double pan balance | Used to compare mass to a known mass (always using metric weights).
🗑
|
||||
| Microscope | Used to observe objects too small for the eye.
🗑
|
||||
| Hand lenses | Use to observe details of materials or to observe objects closely.
🗑
|
||||
| Graduated cylinder | Used to measure liquids in milliliters (mL) and liters (L).
🗑
|
||||
| Meter stick | Used to measure length of items using the metric system.
🗑
|
||||
| Measuring cups | Used to measure larger quantities of water in metric units.
🗑
|
||||
| Stop watch | Used to record beginning and ending times during lab work and experiments.
🗑
|
||||
| Compass | Used to find the direction in relation to the North Pole
🗑
|
||||
| Collecting nets | Used to collect samples of animals, plant life, etc
🗑
|
||||
| Hot plate | Used to heat items, usually liquids - wear gloves
🗑
|
||||
| Magnets | Used to test the magnetism of different metals and metallic mixtures
🗑
|
||||
| In the metric system, length is measured in: | meters
🗑
|
||||
| In the metric system, mass is measured in: | grams
🗑
|
||||
| In the metric system, volume is measured in: | liters
🗑
|
||||
| The metric system is based on: | the number 10 and multiples of 10, such as 100 and 1,000. This makes it easy to change from one unit to another unit.
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| The boiling temperature of pure water is always: | 100 degrees Celsius.
🗑
|
||||
| Living things are called: | Organisms. This includes both plants and animals.
🗑
|
||||
| Plants have 3 main parts: | the roots, the stem, and the leaves.
🗑
|
||||
| Roots | take in water
🗑
|
||||
| The stem | moves the water through the plant
🗑
|
||||
| The leaves | trap sunlight (in the chloroplast in the cells) and take in carbon dioxide.
🗑
|
||||
| Photosynthesis | Process where plants make their own food
🗑
|
||||
| Water, sunlight and carbon dioxide enter the plant during this process: | photosynthesis
🗑
|
||||
| Energy from the sun | turns the water and carbon dioxide into sugar (plant's food)
🗑
|
||||
| What leaves the plant after the process of photosynthesis? | Oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| Why do plants have many adaptations? | To allow them to survive in their environment.
🗑
|
||||
| Example of a plant adaptation? | Cactus: has thorns instead of leaves to avoid excessive evaporation of water.
Rose: thorns to prevent them from being eaten.
Pine tree leaf: doesn't allow a lot of water to be lost.
🗑
