Focus Question:

What is happening when speakers and other music makers make a sound?

Learning Tasks:

1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN and copy down today’s Home Learning in your planner. Add to the Table of Contents: “Analyzing Data p.58” (Left Side). Head p.58 properly with “Analyzing Data-2/6/20.”
2. Observe slow-motion video of instruments and speaker– Set up a T-chart on a flip page to ISN p.59 with a column for “Slow Motion Videos” and a column for “Observations.” Record your observations of the slow-motion videos of the speaker, guitar, drum, and tuning fork.
3. Analyzing our instrument data/Building Understandings Discussion– Use the observations that you made to answer the following questions on ISN p.58: What patterns or similarities did you notice in how the different objects you observed moved while making sounds? What patterns did you notice among the instruments and the speaker? Use the questions in the Building Understandings Discussion handout to describe patterns that you noticed in your observations. Tape the handout as a flip page to ISN p.58.
4. Work on completing Sound Waves Unit Phenomenon Routine Checklist Google Slides (#011) and/or the States of Matter Changes HyperDoc (#010)

Home Learning:

Complete the Sound Waves Unit Phenomenon Routine Checklist Google slides (#011) due today 2/6

Focus Question:

What is happening when speakers and other music makers make a sound?

Learning Tasks:

1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN and copy down today’s Home Learning in your planner. Add to the Table of Contents: “Instruments Investigation p.59” (Right Side).Head p.59 properly with “Instruments Investigation-2/4/20.”
2. Write-Pair-Share– On ISN p.59, write answers to the following questions: How do you think sound sources like instruments & speakers make all those different sounds? What would you expect to see if you look closely at these sound sources while they are making sounds?
3. Observe instruments and a speaker– Set up a T-chart on ISN p.59 with a column for “Sound Source” and a column for “Observations.” Record your observations of the instrument at each station: guitar, drum, xylophone, and tuning fork. Use the prompts on the Google Slide to guide your observations.
4. Observe slow-motion video of instruments and speaker– Set up a T-chart on a flip page to ISN p.59 with a column for “Slow Motion Videos” and a column for “Observations.” Record your observations of the slow-motion videos of the speaker, guitar, drum, and tuning fork.

Friday, 5/24/19- A Day

Lesson Question:

How are the laws of motion and forces used to plan and execute space missions like the Mars Curiosity Rover?

Learning Tasks:

1. Do Now– Get out your science notebook and add to the Table of Contents- Life on Mars p.74 (Left Side). Head page 74 properly with “Life on Mars-Notes from Video-5/24/19.
2. Science Friday– The Giant Squid’s Biggest Mystery
3. Observations from Mars Rovers– Set up ISN p.74 with the following two questions: A. What did you observe about the falling and landing of the robot rovers? B. What did each robotic rover tell us about Mars? Make a T-chart to compare the two groups of rovers: Spirit and Opportunity and Curiosity. Watch the video The Curious Life of a Mars Rover, and record your observations about the Spirit and Opportunity rovers and the Curiosity rover on ISN p.74, using the questions above as a guide.

Lesson Question:

What happens when objects collide?

Learning Tasks:

1. Do Now– Copy down your Home Learning assignment in your planner. Get out your science notebook and add to the NEW Table of Contents- “Cover Page p.47” (Right Side) and “Crash Test Anchor Phenomenon p.49 (Right Side). Head page 49 properly with “Crash Test-Anchor Phenomenon-Observations-2/14/19.”
2. Notebook Work– Add Unit Title to Table of Contents- MOTION. Trim and tape Table of Contents to as a flip page to the inside front cover.
3. Exploring Anchoring Phenomenon/Write-Pair-Share– Watch the following videos of different vehicles’ crash test footage: 2008 Hummer H3, 2015 Nissan vs 2016 Nissan Versa, 2014 Mercedes, 2013 Chevrolet Spark, 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. What do we notice? As you watch, WRITE your observations/what you noticed on ISN p.49. PAIR with your table partner to share your observations and to search for things that were alike and things that were different. SHARE with the full class. A member from each partner will share an observation from his/her discussion. These Initial Observations will be recorded as a class and you should record them on ISN p.49.
4. Attempt to Make Sense/Initial Explanation/Model– Let’s attempt to make sense of what we noticed when objects collide. How can you explain what you saw? On a piece of blank copy paper, draw a diagrammatic model of what you think is happening when objects collide. It’s not just a drawing of objects colliding; it needs to explain what happens when objects collide. Label the parts of the model and use words to explain what’s happening. In groups of 2 or 3, compare your models. Use the “Communicating in Scientific Ways” sentence starters on ISN p.14 to share your ideas & ask questions about other models. Focus on the “Observe” (#2) and “Ask Why and How?” (#1) questions. Your teacher will take some photos to look at together in Google Slides so next time we can see if our explanations agree and in what areas we disagree. From that discussion, we will build a Class Consensus Initial Model.
5. Science Friday– Jump in Jerboas!
6. Unit Cover Page– On p.47 in your interactive science notebook, create a cover page for the unit on Motion.
   • Write the title very large so that it is easy to read.
   • Draw a minimum of 3 pictures that represent the unit.
   • Color the entire page, corner to corner, using colored pencil or crayons- no white paper showing
