Name, P#

Top half of page: Write each vocabulary

word with its definition!
Bottom half of page: Use each vocabulary
word in a sentence or draw a picture of
each!
Look carefully and quiz yourself on the
table on the back of page 9!
Repetition builds memory!!!

What does it mean to be a good

team?
I will record some of your
observations here:

Places, everyone!
Since this is our very first lab, I have
chosen lab partners for you.
Remember, pretty much EVERY job
out there has you working in teams
with people you may not know well
at first.

Research Question
I wonder if (adjective) (noun) have
(adjective) (noun)?
I wonder if longer sea animals have
more mass?

Hypothesis
I think that (noun) will
(verb/adjective) because
I think that longer sea animals will
have more mass because longer
means they are bigger.
We learn just as much from a wrong
hypothesis as a right one!

Procedures

Any questions about the procedures?

Lets take a look at our data tables
Who knows how to find an average?
Who knows how to round to the
tenths place?

Finding
the
2 cm + 3 cm
+ 6 cm

Average
Look at how many
trials you have.
Trial means a thing
or event you
measure or
observe.
Divide your sum by
your number of __________________
trials.

= 11 cm

tenths
Is it 5 orplace!
above? Round
up.
Is it 4 or below? Round
down.
Rounding up by the
tenths place means
making the tenths
place go up one.
Rounding down by the
tenths place means
keeping the tenths
place the same.
If your tenths place
was a 9 and you round
up, you go up to the
next whole number.
