T1 W5

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING by identifying observation as a way of gathering evidence
• We are EXPLORING making multiple observations using more than one sense
• We are EXPLORING how to record observations in multiple ways
• We are EXPLORING our context of Te Matatini by recognising whether something is living or non living by using MRSGREN

•  
  

  At the end of last week we looked at lab safety and what could happen if we didn't follow lab rules. You created some awesome videos on flipgrid showing us a tour of the lab and safety equipment located here. 

  
  

  This week we will look at how scientists use observations to collect and record data. We will practice recording our observations in an experiment. 

  I will attach the activities on google classroom here. We will be doing this during class or as homework. We will also move in to looking at what determines if something is living or non-living. 

  
  

  Success Criteria: I can

  • Identify qualitative and quantitative observations 
  • Use both observation types when writing practical reports
  • Understanding what MRSGREN stands for
  • Being able to determine whether an object is living or non-living. 

  Activities:

  1. See link to google classroom activities above 
  2. Quantitative vs qualitative experiment 
  3. Living vs non.living activities on google classroom.
