Student Activities - Part 1 1. - Create a title page "Investigating Science". 2. - As a class, create a KHW on Science. 3. - Turn to a new page in your book. Write the heading "Why is Science Important?" 4. - Watch the video on the right ---------------------> 5. - Write down 5-7 dot points of interesting facts from the video |
|
Student Activities - Part 2
1 - On a fresh page, put the heading "Branches of Science". 2 - Divide your page into 2 even columns. Now rule up 4 even rows. You should end up with 8 evenly sized boxes taking up your entire page. 3 - In the first box, write AND answer the following question: "Why do we need 7 branches of Science?" 4 - Below are the 7 different branches of science. Answer the following questions in each box, using a new box for each of the branches.
|
Extension
- Each Branch of Science also has many Sub-Branches. This means there are even more specific jobs that Scientists can do. Your Task: 1. Choose 3 of the sub-branches located over there ----------------> 2. Use the internet to find out a little bit more about the 3 you have chosen. 3. Write a response to the following question: "Why would you want to have a job in those 3 areas?" |
