Focus Questions What are some things that give off heat? How is heat produced? Things that give off light also give off heat. Examples may include but not limited to sun, light bulbs, fire, etc. Heat is produced by burning, friction between surfaces, and electricity in wires. What are some devices that use electricity to produce light, heat, and sound? Why is it important not to experiment with electricity? Electrical currents are dangerous and could harm and even cause death. Electrical wires can also produce heat that can burn you.

Students should be cautioned not to experiment with sources of electricity without adult supervision.

How Is Paper Made?


Materials: Aluminum foil cut in 6 in. squares Scissors Pencils Newspaper Large plastic container with lid Hot tap water Spoon Metal baking pans Cornstarch (ask Kindergarten or Grade 1) Measuring cup Markers, crayons, or paint

Directions:
1. Use a pencil to punch holes in each foil square. The holes should be vertical columns about 1 cm apart. 2. Cut or tear the newspaper into smaller pieces. You want to pack the plastic container half-full with shredded

newspaper.
3. Put the paper into the plastic container and fill the container with 2/4 of the way with hot tap water. Put the lid WCPS 2010-2011 Grade 2 Standard 4: Chemistry and Standard 5: Physics

Office of Elementary Education P a g e 58

on the container and let it stand for about three hours. Every once in while shake the container to break up the clumpy paper. Add more hot tap water as the paper absorbs the water already in the container. 4. Once the newspaper has become a soupy, creamy mixture, pour the mixture into the baking pans. Add more hot water. Stir the mixture to make sure all the paper has dissolved.
5. Get 100 mL (1/2 cup) of hot tap water and add 40 mL (3 Tablespoons) of cornstarch. Stir the mixture until all the

cornstarch has dissolved. Pour the mixture over the paper in the baking pan. 6. Place a foil square over the mixture in the baking pan. Press down on the foil square. Then pull the foil up. Some of the mixture should stick to the foil.

How Is Paper Made? (Cont.)


7. Place the foil square on the table and press it flat to squeeze out all of the water. Repeat this same step with the three other foil squares. 8. Let the foil-backed paper dry in the sun on clean sheets of newspaper. Continue to squeeze any extra water out of the foil. If you see any holes or tears in the paper, pinch the sides of the holes or tears together.
9. After three hours, carefully peel the paper from the foil back. Trim the paper into a square note card. Use

crayons, markers, or paint to decorate the note card. 10. Try this same experiment using clean sheets of white paper instead of newspaper. What do you notice is different about the feel, look, and texture of the paper? Resource: Standards-Based Investigations Science Labs, Shell Education

Mystery Matter Exploring Physical Changes in Matter


Materials: 1 cup of water 16 oz box of corn starch (ask Grades 1 and 5) You can mix the water and cornstarch together before class or have the kids help during class. Large bowl Zipper-style sandwich bags (for each group or students) Spoon 6 oz plastic cup filled with frozen water Directions: 1. Hold up the clear plastic cup with frozen water. What state of matter is the material in the cup? (solid) If you want to change the solid into a liquid, what would you need to do? (heat, let the cup sit, etc.) Once the ice turns completely liquid, is there any way to make it solid again? (Place back into the freezer.) 2. Explain that when you freeze and melt a substance, you are making a physical change. In a physical change, the material doesnt change its composition, only its form. Most physical changes are reversible, and the most common ones involved adding or taking away heat. 3. Introduce the mystery matter. Have the students hold the bag of mystery matter in their hands. Make and record observations. 4. What happens when you poke it, squeeze it, etc.?

Heat Energy From Friction What happens when you rapidly rub your hands together?
Have the students put their hands on their faces. Have the students discuss how their hands feel. Tell the students to press the palms of their hands together. Tell them to rub their hands together fast and had while they count to 10 and then put their hands on their face again. Ask the how their hands feel now. Why? They are warmer because the friction between their hands created heat energy. Friction occurs with two objects are rubbed together. Heat energy is produced by friction. Let the students hands cool off and them repeat the experiment. Do they get the same results? Have the students rub their hands over their desk tops. Coats, sweaters, and books are other mediums the students can be encouraged to rub their hands across. Each time they should place their hands on their face. Other Things to Try: Rubbing tow inflated balloons together will create friction and raise the temperature. What happens? Why? Try rubbing two sheets of fine sandpaper together. There will be enough heat produced that you will not want to put your hands on them. Resource: AIMS Primarily Physics

Directions: 1. Your teacher will set the time for five minutes. 2. Look around the room. Find the things that use electricity. Look for things that are plugged in. 3. Fill in the chart. Draw pictures of the things. Object What does it do? Where does it get it power?

4. Talk about the objects that you found. Where do they get electricity from?

5. Add things that you missed to your chart.


6. Some objects are not plugged in. But they use power. How? They run on batteries. Do batteries give or use

Literature in the Science Classroom


The use of literature in the science classroom enhances student understanding of scientific concepts. Literature can expose students to lives of real and fictitious people were instrumental in scientific discovery or who have applied scientific ideas to real-life situations. Resource: Fossweb.com Children should be encouraged to use many different books to learn about science. A book can be the expert to refer to for an answer or clarification, or a book can spark an interest or an investigation. More often, however, books, simply serve to deepen a childs understanding of some familiar topic, helping them to make increasing sense of the world and function more confidently in it.

Formative Assessments Formative assessments are used to gain information that improves instruction and
advances student learning. Formative assessment entails both gathering information about childrens ongoing development of ideas and skills and using this in modifying activities and the teachers interventions to meet the childrens needs (Harlen 2001, p. 64) This process of gathering and using information about student understanding is thus ongoing and cyclical.

Resource: Science and Learning, March 2007, Assessing for Science Learning, Michele H. Lee and Sandra K. Abell

Administering the formative assessments is optional and the scores are NOT reported. Formative assessments provide an opportunity to informally assess students after each investigation for instructional purposes. Formative assessments do not serve as a practice for the end of the unit assessment. A formative assessment is provided for each unit investigation.
