What science ideas did you learn?
This week in science class we finished learning about living and non-living things. Then we added two more categories instead of just living and non-living, to group some items. Those two categories were, dormant and once living. When we added those catagories it was much easier to group the items. We also learn a little more about what a hypothesis and prediction is and the diffrence.
How did you learn these ideas?
We learned how to group items in the categories, living, non-living, dormant, and once living by getting objects and placing them were they belong. Some of the items were, a marker, an apple, a leaf, a flame, etc. By making the other two groups it was much easier to place all of the objects in the correct spot. We then talked about it in class.
Why is it important to know this idea?
It is important to know the diffrence between living and non-living things because they are two very diffrent categories and if the teacher asked you to list somthing that is non-living and living, you would need to know the diffrence. Also if the object doesnt fit in ether of the categories then you can place them in the other two, dormant or once living, thats why we came up with more groups. Knowing the diffrence between a hypothesis and prediction is also important to know because if you did an experment and it asks if what they wrote is a hypothesis or predicton you would need to know the diffrence.

This week in science class
Q1: What science ideas did you learn?
A1: In science this week we learned a couple of things. One thing we learned about what an H-D statement and independent and dependent variables. We practiced doing these things by answering questions about them. Also, to practice writing an H-D statment we played this game, mastermind and wrote an H-D statement. Another thing we learned this week was diseases. We had to read an article about a disease then answer questons. We also did an experment in class to show us how easy it is to spred a germ.
Q2:How did you learn these ideas?
A2:We learned these idea's in class. We talked about them and discused a lot of what we're learning.
Q3:Why is it important to know this idea (what real world application is there?)
A3:Its is important to know about H-D statement and independent and dependent variables because if you want to write a paper on somthing for science, it could be helpful. Also knowing about diseases and how quickly they can spred is important to know because if someone is sick you know that you should be careful.
