Week 1:
Introduction: Students will learn about school and classroom rules, fire drills, bomb threats, lock downs and tornado drills.
Lab Rules & Equipment: Lab rules will be introduced and explained. Equipment will be shown and use demonstrated.
Scientific Method: Steps will be shown and an experiment will be demonstrated. A plant lab will be started, which will last for the rest of the school year. Data will be collected and analyzed. A paper and a graph will be written by the students.
Week2:
Metric System: Items will be measured using metric and converting to different sizes.
Matter: Matter and its four phases will be discussed. Items will be weighed on a balance and temperature will be measured. Data will be collected and written down to be analyzed by the students.
Week 3 & 4:
Atoms: History of the atom will be discussed. Who found the different parts and when, discussing Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr. The make-up of the atom and subatomic particles will be discussed. The electron configuration will be drawn and the Bohr Model will be drawn for different types of atoms.
Week 5 & 6:
Periodic Table: Students will learn who created the table, how elements are arranged, what can be found out about each element from the table such as energy levels, valance electrons, atomic number and atomic mass. Metals and non-metals will be located on the Periodic Table. Students will research an element in the Media Center.
Week 7 & 8:
Ocean and Water: Students will learn the make up of the oceans and how they were formed. They will also learn how the water cycle is formed and where the water goes and what the water does.
Week 9 & 10:
Rocks: Students will learn the different types of rocks and how they are arranged in the Earth. Students will also learn how each type of rock is formed and the various names of each type of rock.
Week 11 & 12:
Plate Tectonics: The theory and history of plate tectonics will be explored. Earthquakes and the stress folds and faults they cause will be discussed.
Week 13 & 14:
Atmosphere: Students will learn what the atmosphere is made of and the different layers. The functions of the atmosphere will be discussed. The different winds and what causes wind will be examined. Pressure, weather and clouds will be looked at as well as air masses and fronts. What type of weather these will bring will also be discussed.
Week 15 & 16:
Space: The make-up of the solar system will be discussed. Planets, comets, satellites and stars will be examined for names and origins. Distances will be examined.
Week 17 & 18:
Geological Time: Eras, epochs, periods and eons will be discussed. What each was known for and what separated each one. The dinosaurs will be examined. When they lived, how they lived and what destroyed them will be discussed.
