LAB EQUIPMENT TEST REVIEW

Test on lab equipment, safety, ind/dep variables, hypothesis, scientific questions, and observations. 
 
This is a review sheet that gives you all the details you should be able to do and be familiar with for the test. Check on your class pages for notes or worksheets. Please contact me with any questions!
 
6B, 5A, 6A, 5B, 6C, 7B = Test on Monday the 19th
7A = Test on Thursday the 22nd. 
 

Scientific Questions vs NonScientific Notes

There are questions for you to try on your own first to see if you can answer them. Then on page 2 there are quick notes that explain what a scientific question is and what it is not!! There are examples for you to see and then space for you to try it out yourselves!!! This is also on the test! Please take a look! If you have questions, please email me or come see me!
 
Edit: notes should say Cannot be DISPROVEN or PROVEN

7A and 7B Class Information

To all of my 7th grade scholars,
 
I may have you take the notes online (most likely from here) so we can do more activities in class. Because both 7A and 7B only meet in Mr. Eaton's class twice a week (7B Mon-Tues) (7A Thurs-Fri), I want to make sure you get the most out of the time we have. We will see how this works. I want to do what is best for your classes. 
 
Homework will most likely be filling out notes or I may have all the notes printed for you but there will be homework to do to keep up with our curriculum. We will all do the best we can to make this work! I will make sure I post as much as possible on here!!
 
I am open for student suggestions on what might work best for you! Thank you! LET'S DO THIS!  :D

Lab Equipment Test Reminder (40 points)

Hello Everyone!
 
There will be a lab equipment test on Monday, August 19th for Sections 7B, 6A, 6B, 6C, 5A, and 5B! Section 7A will take it on Thursday, August 22nd! It is 40 points! 
 
There will be a few questions about the scientific process that we are covering this week too. I will not have as many questions on that topic because it is newer material. 
 
Test is multiple choice, some labeling, and some short answer. If students would like, I can make a review worksheet. 

Fossil Picture Inquiry Activity

This the the document the classes looked at for their fossil observation activity. Students are to observe the fossils and determine what animal they think it is. They had to support their thought based on the fossil features like, tail, limbs, head, teeth, shape, bone structure, and more. Groups then tried to determine what the animal ate, where it lived, and even how it moved based on their observations. 
 
This activity is used to introduce how important observations are instead of inferences. We use prior knowledge to help guide us but observing in detail is very important. 
 
This is posted for those students that missed class on Monday, August 12th. If you missed class, please write down on a piece of paper what animal you think it is (explain why based on the fossil features), what you think it eats(explain based on fossil features you see), where it lives (explain), and even how it might move around (explain).
