Different Ways to Learn
Scientists learn about the world around them. They use their senses.
Scientists do experiments to learn. They carry out experiments again
and again to make sure they get the same results.
Scientists learn from each other, too. They ask each other, “How do you
know?” and share what they learn. They give answers. They tell how they know.

Let’s Explore! Lab Unit 1 5

 3 Read, look, and mark (✓) the ripe apples. Then answer the questions.

Observe
Scientists observe to find out about the world. You ✓
observe when you use your senses to find out about
something. We have five senses: smell, hearing,
touch, sight, and taste. We use a different part of our
body for each sense. We use our nose for smell, our
ears for hearing, our hands or fingers for touch, our
eyes for sight, and our tongue for taste.
How do you know when an apple is ripe? You
might look at the color. Some people tap it to hear
how it sounds. You might feel it and smell it, too. You
will know if it is ripe when you taste it!

1. Give a reason for your choice.

2. What sense or senses did you use to make your decision?

4 How do you know this apple tree is healthy? Read, look, and say
with a partner.
Predict
Scientists use what they observe to predict. You
predict when you tell what you think will happen.
How might scientists predict how many apples
will grow? They can think about how many
apples grew the year before.

6 Unit 1 I Will Know...

5 Read and underline four ways to classify apples.

Classify
Scientists classify, or put things in groups. Scientists
might classify kinds of apples by taste, shape, and
color. There are many different kinds of apples. How do
you know what kinds of apples are the smallest? You
might group apples by size.

6 Are red apples as sweet as green apples?

How do you know? Read and say with a partner.

Compare and Contrast

Scientists compare and contrast
what they observe, too. They tell
what is the same. They tell what
is different.

7 With a partner, select two different types of apples. Draw and label
them. Then compare them using your senses and circle the answer.

Granny Smith

1. Apple A / B is sweeter. 3. Apple A / B is harder.

2. Apple A / B is heavier. 4. Apple A / B has a stronger smell.

Repeat Investigations
Scientists learn about the world around them. First, they ask questions.
Then they investigate. You investigate when you look for answers.
Scientists repeat investigations before they draw conclusions. A conclusion
is what you decide after you think about all you know. You should be able to
draw similar conclusions when you repeat an investigation.
For example, one scientist measures the height of the tallest tree in a
forest. Others repeat the measurement. They get similar answers. They draw
a conclusion.

Scientific Methods
Scientific methods are ways of finding answers. Scientists use scientific
methods when they do experiments. Scientific methods can have these
steps. Sometimes scientists do the steps in a different order. Scientists do not
always do all of the steps.

Collect Data
Scientists collect data to learn new things. Data is what you observe with
your senses. Scientists record what they observe and measure. Scientists
make conclusions from data and from what they already know.
1. Scientists collect data using their senses. T/F
2. Scientists use data to make conclusions. T/F

3. Many animals live under the rocks.

 4 Read and measure the width of the rocks. Write the data in centimeters.

Record Data
Scientists record what they
observe and measure. They look
at the data carefully. Scientists
can learn new things when they
record data.
You can measure how wide
each rock is with a ruler. One
way to record data is in graphs
and charts.

Tables, Charts, and Graphs

Scientists use tables, charts, and graphs to record data. These help
scientists to organize data.
Tables show data in rows and columns, while charts and graphs show
data graphically. There are many different types of charts and graphs, but
they all help scientists make comparisons and find patterns more easily.
Sometimes they learn what is the same. Sometimes they learn what is
different.

Plan and Draw

Engineers plan and draw before they make
new things. Sometimes they plan and draw
more than once.
Chester Greenwood planned to use a heavy
wool scarf to stay warm. He tied it around his
head. It kept his ears warm. However, the wool
scarf was very itchy.
Chester wanted to find a better solution

 7 Read and underline why Chester changed his design.

Make and Test

Engineers make and test the solution to their problem. They
want to find out how well their design works. Sometimes they
change their design. They do this to make their design better.
Chester made oval loops out of wire. Then he covered the
loops with soft materials. Chester’s earflaps kept his ears
warm. However, Chester wanted to find a better way to keep
the earflaps in place. He changed his design. He made his
design better by adding a flat steel spring to fit over his head.
This kept the earflaps in place over his ears.
8 Read and write headband or earflap to label the parts of
the picture.

Record and Share

Engineers record what
they have done. They write
about their designs. They
draw and label their designs,
too. Recording helps them
remember what they have done.
Sometimes engineers share
what they have done
with others.

Tools and Machines

Suppose you want to move an object. You
might use a tool to help you. A machine is a
tool that can make work easier. Sometimes
tools and machines can do things that your
body cannot do on its own.
A simple machine is a tool with few or no
moving parts. A screw is a simple machine.
A screw holds things together.

Simple Machines
There are many different kinds of tools and
machines. Levers and wedges are simple
machines. Pulleys and inclined planes are
simple machines, too.
Pulleys move an object up, down, or
sideways. An inclined plane is flat.
It is higher at one end than at the other.
An inclined plane makes it easier to
move things.
