Science Process
Put these in order:
record data
perform an investigation
ask a question
draw conclusions
question, investigation, data, conclusion
What will the Earth do between noon today and noon tomorrow?
Earth will complete one rotation!
What processes change rock into metamorphic rock?
A. weathering and erosion
B. heat and pressure
C. cooling and melting
D. compaction and cementation
Heat and pressure
In a mystery box there are four objects. You cannot see the objects. You can put your hand inside to feel them. Name 2 properties of the objects can you describe this way?
Texture, Shape, Weight, Relative Size
What step do you need to know to REPEAT an experiment? (data, procedure, hypothesis, conclusion)
procedure
Explain how the sun, earth, and moon move.
The sun is still. Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. The moon revolves around Earth.
Minerals that are hard are sometimes used to make cutting tools.
This table shows the hardness of different minerals.
Mineral Hardness
talc 1
gold 3–4
quartz 7
diamond 10
Which mineral would make the best cutting tool?
A. diamond
B. gold
C. quartz
D. talc
A diamond because it has a hardness of 10 on Moh's Scale.
What are the 2 ways a magnet can interact with another magnet? Think about the vocabulary words you learned.
Like poles will ATTRACT
Unlike poles with REPEL
Observation or inference?
The plant grew 2 cm.
observation
What causes our seasons on Earth?
Earth's tilt and orbit around the sun!
Weathering and erosion can change landforms. What order shows the process of how a landform can be changed by weathering and erosion? List the #s in order.
1. Erosion of rock by wind, water, and gravity
2. Deposition of rock particles in a new location
3. Weathering of rock by wind, water, ice, and temperature changes
3. Weathering
1. Erosion
2. Deposition
All matter has mass. What scientific tool can be used to determine the amount of mass an object has?
Mass is about the same thing as weight. Therefore, you'd need a pan balance, triple beam balance, or scale to find the mass.
What do scientists use as evidence to support their explanations? (procedures, hypothesis, conclusions, data)
data
How long does it take Earth to travel halfway around the sun?
six months
In what type of rock would I most likely find a dinosaur fossil?
Sedimentary because it is formed by layers being "cemented" together.
Mrs. Hopkins wants to put up a new fence around the perimeter of the kindergarten playground. Which of these units of measurement would she most likely use?
Centimeter
Millimeters
Kilometers
Meters
Meters...
Centimeter are very small, millimeter are TINY, and Kilometers are large.
What is a variable? Explain why it is important to have 1 variable in a science investigation.
A variable is the ONE thing you are testing in an experiment.
It is important to only have 1 variable so that you can make sure your results are accurate.
Explain the difference between rotation and revolution!
rotate = spin in place, revolve = travel in a circle around
Explain what makes something a non-renewable resource. Give 1 example
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be replenished or replaced in a reasonable amount of time.
Coal, Oil, Limestone, Natural Gas, Petroleum
Explain what is needed to change a liquid into a gas.
You have to add HEAT to the liquid. It will increase the temperature and the molecules will move faster. Gas particles move the fastest.
