The Scientific Method
The 5 steps of the scientific method:
1 Used to think up a question
Observation
Hypothesis 2 An idea (guess) that answers your question
Prediction 3 What will happen if the hypothesis is correct
Experiment 4 A test to see if your hypothesis (guess) is correct
Data 5 The results from your experiment
Fair Testing
A fair test is an experiment where only one variable is changed
at a time to see if it affects results.
A variable is something that can be changed in an experiment.
There are 2 types of variables: Dependent Independent
Fair Testing
Dependent Independent
The variable that is The variable that is

Fair Testing
A street vendor plans to study if the temperature outside affects the
number of ice coffees he sells.

Lab Safety
What is a laboratory?
A Laboratory is a room or building with scientific equipment for doing
scientific tests, teaching science, or producing (making) chemicals or
medicines.
It is extremely important to know all
about lab safety and the rules of the lab
to prevent accidents and injuries. PPE
should be worn at all times.
Lab Safety
What are some lab rules?
Tie hair back. Don't eat or drink.
Be careful when Don't run or play.

Lab Safety
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment):
• Safety goggles / glasses
• Mask
• Ear plugs / hearing protection
• Lab Coat
• Safety Gloves
• Closed-toed Shoes

The Microscope
The microscope is a piece of equipment used for
viewing very small objects. It can magnify small things,
making them easier to see!
We call the thing that we are looking at under
the microscope, the specimen. This is a
compound light microscope.

States of Matter
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Changes in a state happen when a substance is heated or cooled.
Heating a substance will Cooling a substance will
cause the particles to cause the particles to
move faster. move slower.

Expansion & Contraction
Many substances expand as they
are heated. This happens
because the particles vibrate
more, and the space between
them increases
when most substances are cooled.
The vibrations of the particles slow
down, and the space between
them decreases, causing
contraction.
Air pressure
Air pressure is greatest at sea
level. As we increase our
altitude (the distance from sea
level), the air pressure
decreases.
This is because when we go
higher up, there are fewer air
molecules due to gravitational
forces. Fewer air molecules
mean lower air density.
Air pressure
We can use a barometer to
measure air pressure
