Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are the standard pieces of lab equipment?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Equipment - Names - Taking measurements circus
  2. Scientific Questions: - Variables: IV - I change; DV - We Measure; CVs: We keep the same - Modelling the real world in a simple way
  3. The Independent Variable is the one we change.
  4. The Dependent Variable is the one we measure.
  5. The Control Variables are the ones we keep the same to make it a fair test.
  6. Equipment Match up
  7. We use a measuring cylinder to volumes of liquids.
  8. We use thermometers to measure the temperature of an object.
  9. Learn the variables
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:

  2. What do we do with the Dependent Variable?
    We measure the Dependent Variable.
  3. What do we do with the Control Variables?
    We keep the Control Variables the same to make it a fair test.
  4. What do we use to measure the volume of a liquid?
    We use a measuring cylinder to measure the volumes of liquids.
  5. What do we used to measure the temperature of an object?

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
