Science Expectations
What times of the day is science?
After recess.
What is the scientific method?
A specific order of steps to help conduct science experiments
What is the smallest substance that takes up space?
Atoms
What charge does an atom have if it has more electrons than protons?
Negative charge.
What are the ends of the magnets called?
Poles
What are the expectations with science materials?
Teacher response.
What is it called when you make a prediction or guess?
Hypothesis
What part of an atom has a positive charge?
Proton
What is the scientific term for rubbing?
Friction
What will happen when you put two magnets together with like poles?
Repel
What happens if you cannot participate appropriately in science?
You are an observer.
Why is it important to conduct research?
Conducting research allows you to learn more about your question and what challenges may come up.
Electron
What part of the atoms jumps to create static electricity?
Electron
What will happen if you put two magnets together with unlike poles?
Attract
What is the command that teachers use to get your attention in science?
Hands in laps.
Why is it important to have a control in your experiment?
The control is important because it allows the scientist to see what would happen when all variables remain the same.
What is the center of an atom called?
Nucleus
True or False: Static electricity occurs because two different atoms are balanced.
False, it occurs because the atoms are unbalanced.
Will a magnet attract to:
--a plastic straw
--a iron nail
--aluminum foil
--a door frame
--repel
--attract
--repel
--attract
What has been your favorite experiment in science?
Teacher graded?
What are all the steps in the scientific method?
Ask a question, conduct research, make a hypothesis, collect data, conduct experiment, draw conclusions, and share your results.
What are the orbit paths called?
Shells
What is a way to create static electricity?
Teacher graded.
How are you able to use a magnet to magnetize another object (like a nail or needle)?
When you rub a magnet along another object, use are lining up all the electrons to create poles. This makes one end of the object negative and one positive creating a temporary magnet.
