Oien-Science 1-Monday Assignments

Our school year is almost over! I hope you enjoyed our science lessons. 
This week, please reflect on everything we did in science this year and answer the question, "What was the most interesting thing you learned this year in science?"

Follow the Mystery Science lesson to learn about friction.

Follow the mystery science lesson to learn how to predict the weather. 
Printing and completing the weather book is optional, however, I would like you to complete the  "Will it Storm?" handout. You may edit it digitally.

THIS LESSON REQUIRES A CLEAR CUP OR JAR (and lid) WITH WARM WATER.
ADULTS- PLEASE HELP YOUR STUDENT POUR THE WATER!


During these last few weeks, we will study weather.
This week's Mystery Science lesson looks at where clouds come from.
You will need to print out the "Gas Trap Experiment" sheet

Watch all of the videos in this Mystery Science Lesson and learn about designing bridges.
Printing out the activity sheets is optional, but I would like to see at least one picture of your best bridge, and let me know how many pennies it held. Good luck and have fun!
This is a 2-week project, as there is no class next week due to testing.

Remote students_ Mystery science mini- lessons- Why do owls say "hoo"?

In person students-No need to do anything in Google Classroom.

This week we have another Mystery Science lesson to help us learn how many simple machines combine to make a compound machine. You'll need to print out the "pop-up sign" below.
Show me a picture or video of your completed project.

Follow the instructions given in the mystery science video below to make a chain-reaction machine.
Show me a picture or video of your completed project.

This week we will learn about our last simple machine, the screw. After watching the videos and making your model, answer the question about how a screw makes work easier.

After watching the "screw" videos, answer the following question:
How do you think a screw makes work easier?

Watch this video to learn about water wheels and see how to make this week's project.
No googleform this week, but I would love to see your water wheel! Please attach a photo or video.

Watch the videos to learn about pulleys and see how to make your own!
After making the pulley, be sure to save it for next week's project, where we'll turn our pulley into a waterwheel.
Complete the googleform.

This week you will learn about wedges and create a foil boat. The boat uses a wedge to cut through the water.

Hello Science Students,
We are excited to introduce our new unit of study- Simple Machines.

This week you need to:
-Watch the videos below. One is an intro to our new unit, and the other is an "unboxing" of our materials bag.
-Come to Apex and pick up your bag of materials, which includes nearly everything you'll need to do our fun projects this quarter.
*Edit- in the video I show a bag of rice, which won't be in your materials bag. You'll need to provide a bag of rice, beans, or pebbles to act as a "load" for some lessons.
-Fill out the google form letting me know if you were able to pick up your materials.

Give your answer after watching the instructional video, making the glasses, and watching the 2d video with your glasses.

This is our last week of lessons for the semester! There are a few fun activities in your materials that we haven't covered yet, so I show how to do them in this week's video. Watch me make the spinning top, 3D glasses, and the "Sight and Afterimages" activities. The only required activity this week is the 3D glasses. The other 2 are optional activities that you might find fun to do over the break, but it is not required.
First, watch me in the 3d glasses video. After making your 3d glasses, watch the 3D video with the eagle. Then answer the question posted above.

For this activity, you will need the activity sheets- Color Filters and Light, and Mixing Light Beams, as well as the colored acetate squares found in your science materials envelope. You will also need 2 or 3 flashlights (if you have them). Be sure to keep the colored squares and next week we will make 3D glasses with them!

1. Watch the brainpop movie
2. Watch the color filters movie
3. Using flashlights and the colored squares, do the activity shown in the movie, and on the activity sheets. Record your observations on the activity sheet.
4. Put the colored acetate squares back in the bag and save them for next week's activity.
5. Click on the link "Color Vision- Photons..." below to try out the simulation I showed in the video and record these observations.
6. Send me a photo of your completed activity sheets.

Watch video for instructions and then post a picture on padlet of your coffee filter chromatogram.

-Draw a line with the marker 2-3" from the bottom
-write with pen the colors of markers used
- place about 1 inch of water in a shallow bowl
-place the bottom of the filter in the water being careful not to let the water directly touch the colored line.
-let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the water to seep up and separate the pigments. The pigments with smaller molecules travel farther up the paper.

For this activity, you will need a flashlight and the activity sheet titled, "Does Light Go Through?" You will also need some household materials listed on the sheet. Watch the 2 videos before completing the activity, and then load a photo of your completed sheet onto google classrooms.

In your envelope of science materials you picked up from Apex, there is a straw. Place the straw in a tall glass of water. What do you notice about the way it looks?

Your assignment this week is to watch the reflection/refraction video and then define Reflection and Refraction in your own words or drawings.
The second "Study Jams" video will help you further understand the concepts. I would suggest watching the second video on a separate day, as it is a lot of new information to take in.

Submit your answer in google classroom, either in a google doc or take a photo of your written or drawn definitions in your science notebook.

Watch the videos and then fill out the glowstick activity sheet.
If you have glowsticks and thermometers at home, you can try the experiment out for yourself. Otherwise, you can watch me perform the experiment and fill out the sheet based on observations of the video. When recording the temperature, use the temperature I mention later, when the glowsticks have been in the water for a bit.

Review the life cycle of a butterfly by completing this google slide activity.
If you're having trouble completing the activity on your device, instead, draw a picture of the butterfly's life cycle in your science notebook and share a photo with me.

In your science notebook, draw a picture of an insect and list how it is helpful and how it is harmful. Take a picture and upload it on google classroom.

Make a model of an insect mouth. Do you have chewing, sucking, or sponger mouthparts? Do you eat plants, other insects, or blood from animals? Your model can be made from anything, and it can be a model of a real or imaginary insect. Turn in a picture or video of your model.

After watching the video, get your science notebook and a pencil, and go outside to find and observe pillbugs. Draw the pillbug and draw where you found the pillbug. Write down 5 things you notice about its habitat (where it lives).
Some questions to ask yourself as you make observations:
Why do you think it chose that place to live?
Does it live in a cold or warm place?
Does it live in a moist or dry place?
Does it live in a dark or bright place?
Does it have food nearby?
Does it live alone, or is it huddled with other pillbugs?
Are there any predators around? What might be a predator to a pillbug?

Take a picture of your notebook page and upload it here. Don't forget to click "Turn in".

After watching the videos, print out this sheet and fill in the blanks using the following terms: adult; larva; egg; nymph; pupa. Some words will be used more than once. You might want to rewatch the metamorphosis video to help you. Upload a picture of the completed sheet and turn it in, or show me your work during office hours.

Sort the science tools by dragging them to the correct category. Are the tools used for measurement, safety, or investigation?

Safely catch and draw an insect in your science notebook. Label the different parts. Pay attention to how many legs it has, and where the legs are attached. Does it have wings? Antennae? Next week, we will learn more about the differences between insects and other creatures.
Take a picture of the page in your science notebook where you drew an insect and upload it here, or show me your journal page during office hours.
