 This

is a PowerPoint intended to teach the vocabulary for a science

experiment where students test different tolerances of water on a
Barley plant.

To

extend on this vocabulary assignment, each slide would have a

link to its own Padlet where students would type or draw their
answers to show the multiple representations/examples of the
word.

All

pictures are mine

Water
A

clear liquid that is made up of

hydrogen and oxygen.

Plants need water to survive.
*Draw a picture of 3 places where you
would see water (ex. In a pool)

Environment
The

things around us- our surroundings, conditions,

climate, influences, and so on.

The

environment we live in is made

up of many things.

*Draw a picture of the environment

you live in

Organism
A

life form that goes through different

processes
Humans,

plants, and animals are

examples of organisms.
*Draw 3 different organisms.

Plant
A

multicellular organism such as fungi,

algae, flowers, or vegetables

My

grandma has many plants in her

garden.
*Look out a window in the
and draw one plant you see

Growth
The

process of growing or developing, seen as gradual

changes

The

growth of this plant is

dependent on many factors.

*Draw a picture of what you think
your Barley plant will look like at the
end of this experiment.

Hypothesis
A
I

guess that is formed using prior knowledge

cant wait to find out if my hypothesis for this experiment is correct!

*Write down your hypothesis for this experiment question: Does a Barley
plant have a low, medium, or high tolerance for water?

Tolerance
The
My

capacity to endure a condition

dog has a low tolerance for going

on walks.
*Draw your hypothesis- how much water
do you think your Barley plant needs to
grow best?

Evidence
Information

used to prove

something
This

picture is evidence that

it was cloudy the other day.

*Name two types of evidence you will be gathering
to see if your hypothesis is correct or not.

Claim
The

use of evidence to make a statement about something

My

claim for this experiment is that Barley plants have a

____ tolerance for water

! !! ! !
*Write a claim about this
experiment and support it with evidence.
