3. During the Review Session We will talk about the main topics from each module You will also learn how to use the whiteboard
4. Module One Must be testable Answers questions What is Science? Investigate and learn about our world Based on evidence A Process
5. Module One The Scientific Method is a systematic process to investigate the world around us.
6. Variables and Controls Independent Variable : The variable a researcher changes Control: The standard used for comparison
7. Metric System Let’s Practice! 500 g = _______Kg 2. 1.5 L = _____ mL 3. 6.4 Km = ________ m
8. Need more help on the Metric System? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS-8FCqYo5M Great, short video on how to convert between units
9. Let’s Play! Science is : Purpose of completing an experiment: Independent Variable is ________ by the researcher. 6.2 Kg = ______ g
10. Module Two The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of electromagnetic waves arranged from highest to lowest frequency. Things you know : UV damage, radio signals, microwaves cooking NOT sound waves, water waves , ect. These electromagnetic waves are energy waves. They can travel through a vacuum (no particles needed) Includes every color of light – notice our eye picks up a very small part of the spectrum Main difference between the different types of waves are the wavelength and frequency Wavelength effects frequency – the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency and the higher the energy
11.
12. Parts of a Wave Crest Trough Wavelength Amplitude All waves have these properties in common – but why they are important might be different Amplitude of a sound wave determines loudness or softness while amplitude of a light wave determines brightness
14. Let’s Play! 1. The main difference between waves on the electromagnetic spectrum: Wavelength b. wave height c. amplitude Draw a line to Match the Key Words:
15. Conduction, Convection, and Radiation Need Particles? YES NO Radiation: Heat Transfer by waves from a distance. Example: The sun Are particles in direct contact? NO YES Convection: Heat transfer by moving fluids (liquid or gases) Example: Hot Air Balloon Conduction: Heat transfer with objects/particles in direct contact. Example: Hot pan on stove
16. Law of Conservation of Energy Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed Energy Conversion: When one form of energy is changed to another. Electrical energy changed to light, sound and heat energy in a TV.
17. Let’s PlaY! What type of heat transfer would best describe the parts of this picture? 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4.
18. Plate movement is a geologic process that can change land, mountains and oceans
19. Plate movement is a geologic process that can change land, mountains and oceans

21. Good Luck! WooHoo! Just think – you have almost completed an entire semester of science. You should be proud! Contact me if you have an other questions!
Notas do Editor
Talk about whiteboard stuff – where their name is, how to raise hand, comment, smiley face, whiteboard tools
Measure finger, car, thick of dime, science does not include beliefs or opinions
