Explain hierarchical relationships organisms, concepts, objects. Identify the ways in which light interacts with matter. Relate the physical characteristics of planetary objects to gravity its effect on weight. Distinguish physical chemical changes based on molecule placement movement. Apply appropriate simple machines to situations to increase the amount of work done while decreasing the energy expended. Create food webs using plant animal populations in an ecosystem while identifying biotic abiotic factors affecting population growth. Narrate Earth s story through the study of fossil records geologic time.

4 LAB ACTVITIES Watch Yeast Feast! hypothesize why one bag (yeast, water, sugar) fills up with gas another (yeast water) does not Keeping Green plant experiment using variables analyzing data to find evidence which supports the hypothesis Get Closer use microscopes to draw compare cells Let It Shine infer the amount of light materials absorb by using a flashlight, prism, a lens Transparent, Translucent, or Opaque? test items to determine whether they are transparent, translucent, or opaque Scaling the Solar System create a floor scale of the solar system use the model to collaborate analyze data regarding the planets Star Search create a model use numbers to compare stars of a constellation to the Sun Cool the Air use plastic bottles balloons to demonstrate expansion contraction Monster Trucks use a ramp, a toy truck, a rubber b to measure distance traveled the effect of adding mass to the truck Roller Ball use clear plastic tubing a marble make inferences regarding the effects the height of the truck has on the speed a marble travels through the tubing Ramping It Up use a spring scale 0g mass to show the effects of using a ramp; explain why the amount of force needed to pull the mass is when using a spring scale Life set up a terrarium observe interactions earthworms their environment; infer what earthworms need to survive Compare Climates make line graphs use the data to describe temperature precipitation patterns of two locations Model Flow draw a chart which includes illustrations of producers consumers; use numbers to determine how much energy is left for consumers at levels on the chart Limits to Growth place numbers of seeds in cups with soil, A Model World create use a model of Earth to describe the layers which make up Earth s structure Picking a Pattern find the locations of earthquakes volcanoes, mark them on a blank world map; draw conclusions about patterns seen predict the relationship the planet s plates the places where most volcanoes earthquakes occur Make a Mountain! model the movement of one of Earth s places with moist s, wax paper, shoebox lid show
