Properties of Matter Summative Question - Practice

Student Somebody wanted to see if water and salt would chemically react when heated.  Somebody decided to collect data on the water and salt both before and after heating.  

The data that Somebody collected is below.  Make sure you read the details of Somebody's procedure/

 HERE are the lab details and CER questions.  

Try to complete the CER  and then compare your response to this example.

States of Matter - A Physical Change

Click on the picture and it will take you to a website.  Follow the directions on the site and pay special attention to how the molecules are moving in the different states of matter.  Also notice what his happening to the temperature as it changes state

After this, watch the Brainpop clip of changes of state. The password and user name for Brianpop is Singapor (no e)

Be sure you do both of these activities so you're ready for next science class!

Abby Safe

The science lab is a unique place to be - A place of exploration and experimentation.

Lab Safety is of the utmost importance as you progress throughout the year in sixth grade science and there are many rules and safety procedures that you need to keep in mind. 
 Go through our list and pick one.... and Let's MEME it!  After you've created your safety meme -  embed it onto your blog and take a screen shot of it. Make sure you label the blog post science so I can see it.
In addition, please add it to the class slideshow for sharing.

What the Heck Just Happened?

Family Water Usage

Click on the picture to open the spreadsheet. Make a copy and Title it 'Water Usage and your Name"

Let's see how much water we use~

Analysis of Data:  Analyze your data using the guiding questions below.

Take a screen shot of your water usage graph and put it into a blog post.  

Write a paragraph answering these questions using the data from your table and graph.  Make sure you answer all of the questions in your paragraph - (don't write the questions, just answer them in a paragraph - you know what I mean)

1.  What is your family's average monthly water usage in cubic meters for the past six months?

2.  The national average of monthly water use for households in Singapore is 33.4 cubic meters.  If you live in a condo the national average is around 15.3 cubic meters

        - Is your family above or below the average?

        - How much above or below the aerage?

        - What percentage above or below the average?

3.  What was your family's lowest month of usage?  Can you think of any explanation why it might have been lower?

4.  What was your family's highest month of usage?  Can you think of any explanation why it might have been higher?

5. How much money could your family save if you cut your usage by 20 percent?

    How much money could your family save if you cut your usage by 30 percent?

6.  There are many easy and inexpensive things you can do to cut your water consumption by 10-40 percent.  Come up with a plan and bullet point your ideas (with your family)

Water Cycle, Aquifers, and Singapore's 4 National Taps

Water is a non renewable resource. What does that mean? Think of the water cycle you learned in elementary school. Before we begin today's lesson let's take a look at three things.

 1. The water cycle: As a reminder - watch the Tim and Moby clip on water cycle.

2. Where does our drinking water come from? What is the water table and what is an aquifer?Again...watch Tim and Moby, but this time, take the review quiz after you're finished, just to check your understanding.  No need to print it off - it's just for your understanding.

3. Singapore is an island of over 5 million people. How does Singapore get it's water? Watch the video below and in your journal explain Singapore's 4 National Taps. Singapore has been studied by countries all over the world for its ingenious water conservation.

Solutions

We've discussed global water problems and shared startling water facts.
Now let's look at some of the things people and organizations are doing to help. 

1. Check out the following websites - and any others you find on your own.
2. When you find a piece of information you'd like to share, put it on the padlet wall below,
• (Just double click on the padlet wall and type your information.  Be sure to include your name.  You will need to save a picture to your desktop, then click on the middle icon of your padlet post and upload)
3. Hopefully this will work! If not, then just comment on the post and share your information. There are so many wonderful organizations and inventions out there!  Here are a few.....

ICT
The water project, 
Global Water Challenge,
The Other 90 Percent,
Water.org .

When you share your information on the wall, PLEASE TRY NOT TO OVERLAP ENTRIES ONTO EACH OTHER.  You can move the wall around by dragging it and moving it right or down.  That way we'll have plenty of room for everyone.

When you're finished, watch these Tim and Moby clips on water and water shortages. - Water Usage and Crisis, 

Wretched Beasties in Water

Today in class you had the opportunity to see all the 'wretched beasties' in the digital microscopes.  Yuk! Here are some of mine -- Imagine drinking THAT?

 BLOG YOURS - Take 2 videos (10-20 seconds only) of some of the microorganisms you see with the digital microscope.

Please follow the guidelines below and share it on your blog:

Blog Post:

1. Embed your videos into your blog (at least 2)
2. Include the following information in your post

• Name of microorganism
• Category (protist, multicellular)
• Describe how they move through water
• Describe how they get their food.
• Any other interesting information

NOTE:  Make sure you create well written sentences - check grammar and spelling.

Assignment and Resources on Protists ---- click here to find information about the water microbes) 

THEN -  Find three facts about our global water problems and waterborne infectious disease.  Add them to your blog post as a separate paragraph or separate bullet points under your protist information

Here are a few suggested sites - but you can research your own as well.   You might find better sites! Please use more than one site.
