WHERE should you look to preview the graph of Passage X?
Any of these (maybe others up to teacher):X-axis, Y-axis, Labels, Headings, Units, Trend of graph
100
According to Figure 2, the horizontal axis represents what characteristic of the rocket?
Amount of weight on rocket
100
Which variable should you put on the x-axis of a graph?
The Independent Variable OR Changing Variable
100
Write a question about the Labels/Headings of Figure 2. AND Answer it.
(Teacher Discretion) Example: What is on the horizontal axis? Answer = Amount of weight
200
Preview Passage X. What do you think this experiment is about?
(Teacher Discretion) Ideas: About how mermaids survive, how many are alive, when they were around, whether mermaids are real or not.
200
According to Figure 2, if a rocket has a weight of 1/4 kg, how long would the rocket travel?
approximately 8.4 seconds
200
In a rocket simulation, we were observing how different launch speeds would effect the amount of time a rocket traveled. Draw an X/Y graph with the AXES properly labeled.
X = Launch speed, Y = Time traveled
200
Write a question about the data line in Figure 2. AND answer it.
(Teacher Discretion) Example Question: If the rocket traveled for 8.6 s, how much weight did it have on it? Answer = 0 kg
300
What is the best way to preview a WRITTEN science passage?
Read first and last sentence! (Also maybe accept - Key words, repeated words, bold/italics)
300
According to Figure 2, the dependent variable is measured in what units?
s (seconds)
300
Write a caption for Figure 2
This is a graph of how time traveled is effected by the amount of weight on the rocket.
300
Write a question about the units of Figure 1 of Figure 2. AND answer it.
(Teacher Discretion) Example Question: In Figure 1, what are the units of mermaid population? Answer = sightings/month
400
What is the purpose of previewing a science graph?
(Teacher Discretion) Preparing our brains for what the experiment is about. Understanding what the data is about.
400
According to Figure 2, if a rocket traveled 8.5 s, what weight is on the rocket?
Approximately 1/7 kg
400
Write 2 CLEAR Results statements about Figure 2.
(Teacher Discretion) Examples: As weight increases, time decreases. With a weight of 1/3 kg, the rocket traveled for 7.8 seconds, etc.
400
Write a question about the data in Figure 1. AND answer it.
(Teacher Discretion) Example Question: When did the MartinEra end? Answer = approx. 7 decades
