Nature of Science
The start of any scientific investigation.
What is a question?
The phenomenon of two solid objects crashing into one another?
What is a collision?
The four class norms established way back when.
What are respect, community/commitment, equity, and progress?
Contact forces create collisions and deformation, resulting in these which are the basis for all sound.
What are vibrations?
The grade levels included in this school.
What is K-8?
A thing or event that scientists study.
What is a phenomenon?
The fancy science word for what something is made out of.
What is material / matter / substance?
Being nice to your fellow classmates exhibits this.
What is respect?
Sound cannot move through the vacuum of space because it must move through this.
What is matter?
The street this school is located on.
What is Humboldt?
An educated guess about something, based on prior knowledge, research, and experimental observations. (hint: this is not testable)
What is an inference?
Atoms, molecules, and even tiny bits of a substance are also called these.
What are particles?
Cleaning up after yourself or if you make a mess exhibits this, one of the four norms.
What is commitment / community / responsability?
In a graphic representation of a wave, this is the height of a wave (not the tip!)
What is amplitude?
The number of kids Ms Harrington has.
What is 4?
A claim that can be tested, often written as an 'if, then' statement.
When an object in a collision breaks, it has reached this.
What is an elastic limit?
We teachers are looking for a little bit of this every day... not perfection!
What is progress?
The higher the pitch, the higher the ____________, and therefore more waves per given amount of time.
What is frequency?
A large Canadian Bay, a long New York River, and our school were named after this English Explorer.
Who is Henry Hudson?
The two types of data. "Squishy" or "Numbers". (Must be in the correct order!)
What are qualitative and quantitative?
When two objects collide, these two things are always created, even if we can't see them.
What are deformation and vibration?
What is ad hominem?
Sound travels through matter in _____________, but the actual particles of matter do not travel very far.
What are waves?
The government organization which decides if School #28 will get out of receivership or not.
What is the New York State Department of Education?
