Life Science

Bill Nye gets us thinking about safety in the science room. We will be ready to use candles in our first lab of the year. 

• Science is a hands-on laboratory class.

• You will be doing laboratory activities, which require the use of expensive lab equipment.

• Safety in the science classroom is the #1 priority.

Here we talk about how scientists are not just found in a laboratory, but in all kinds of interesting and different places, studying a wide variety of topics, on earth and beyond.

Review how to use a triple beam balance to measure mass.

Good science depends on the quality of our thoughts, and questions.

Presentation talks about the scientific process in general, and then discusses the individual  steps of the scientific method. These methods are the standard used by scientist from all different disciplines all over the world, from biologists and physicists in Colorado to chemists and astronomers in Japan.

Presentation talks about how to construct a scientific lab report. All the parts that are needed, and how to do each part thouroughly, correctly and with accuracy.

Video created by Bill Nye that shows different types of measurements and gives an introduction to the metric system.

This presentation helps you get clear on the different forms of metric system measurement. These will include, Mass/weight, volume, length and temperature. 

In this presentation, we will be exploring the differences between making observations and and making inferences. This is a very important distinction to make as a scientist.
