During the Review Session
 We will talk
about the
main topics
from each
module
 You will also
learn how to
use the
whiteboard
Module One

Answers questions Must be testable

What is Science?

Investigate and learn about our world

Based on evidence

A Process
 Module One
 The Scientific Method is a systematic process
to investigate the world around us.

Step Description Example

Purpose Decide what will be studied. Research Which Laundry Detergent Cleans Clothes
what is already known. the Best?
Hypothesis Make a prediction of the outcome If Tide is used to clean clothes, then
stains will be less noticeable
Experiment Test your hypothesis Wash white shirts with a 5 cm Ketchup
stain in different detergents

Analysis Examine your data. Look for patterns Measure stains before and after washing.
Determine which stains were smaller.

Conclusion State what was found out about the Tide cleans clothes with Tomato stains
hypothesis better as measured by size of stain
Variables and Controls
 Independent Variable : The variable a
researcher changes
 Control: The standard used for comparison


Independent Variable: The Type of Detergent

Control: Using plain water

 Metric System
Let’s Practice!

1.500 g = _______Kg 2. 1.5 L = _____ mL 3. 6.4 Km = ________ m

Module Two
The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range
of electromagnetic waves arranged from
highest to lowest frequency.


 Things you know : UV damage, radio signals,

microwaves cooking


 NOT sound waves, water waves , ect. These

electromagnetic waves are energy waves.
They can travel through a vacuum (no
particles needed)

 Includes every color of light – notice our eye
picks up a very small part of the
spectrum

 Main difference between the different types
of waves are the wavelength and
frequency

 Wavelength effects frequency – the shorter
the wavelength, the higher the frequency
and the higher the energy

Parts of a Wave
 Crest
 Trough
 Wavelength
 Amplitude
 All waves have these
properties in
common – but why
they are important
might be different
 Amplitude of a sound
wave determines
loudness or softness
while amplitude of a
light wave
determines
brightness
 Refraction, Reflection, Absorption
Term Definition Light Example Sound Example Water Example

Reflection Wave hits a surface and

bounces back

Refraction Wave enters a new

material and bends
because of a change in
speed and wavelength of
the wave

Absorption Somepart of the energy

of the wave is lost as
heat as the wave moves
into a new material.
Let’s Play!
1. The main difference between waves on the


electromagnetic spectrum:
a.Wavelength b. wave height c. amplitude


2.Draw a line to Match the Key Words:

3.
Reflection Less energy
Refraction Bounce Back
Absorption Bend
 Conduction, Convection, and
Radiation Need Particles?

YE
S NO

Radiation: Heat Transfer by waves from a distance. Example: The

Are particles in direct contact?

YES NO

Convection: Heat transfer by moving fluids (liquid or gases) Example: Hot Air Balloon
with objects/particles in direct contact. Example: Hot pan on stove
Law of Conservation of Energy
 Energy can neither be
created nor destroyed,
only transformed
 Energy Conversion: When
one form of energy is
changed to another.
Electrical energy changed
to light, sound and heat
energy in a TV.

The Layers of the Earth Plate Tectonics

Lithosphere: Rigid parts includes crust and uppermost mantle. A. Divergent: Plates moving
apart
Asthenosphere: Plastic parts (not that type of plastic! ) Here we mean material that can flow – almost melted but not quite.
This would include the middle and lower mantle. B. Convergent: Two plates
coming together. A subduction

C. Transform: Two plates

slide past each other – more
like a North/South motion.
