Steps of the Scientific Model for grade 6


Slide Content

U nit 1 Introduction to science Lesson 2. Scientific Model

Today’s class Learning objective Bell Ringer Lecture Check understanding 1 Check understanding 2 Kahoot

Learning Objective Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things. Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Bell Ringer Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things.

Bell Ringer Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things. Explain what a scientific model is. Explain why we need scientific models.

Scientific models Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things.

Why do scientists use models? Models can be used far more easily than the system they represent. Models help scientist in explaining or analyzing an object, system, or concept in detail. Models can be used to show things that are too small or even too large to completely see. Models can also help scientists understand the organisms which are no longer are existing. Models can be used to make predictions. Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things.

Benefits of using scientific models Define scientific models and understand the uses of models to experiment on things. Models can be used far more easily than the system they represent.

Types of Scientific models Physical Models Mathematical Models Conceptual Models Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Physical Model A smaller /larger copy of an object that you can touch. It shows the inner parts that are not visible. - > We can observe the composition of animal body without it walking or flying away, and without danger. Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Physical Model Examples Atomic structure Paper airplane Globe Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

2. Mathematical Model Made up of mathematical equations and data. Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

2. Mathematical Model Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments. Examples Weather prediction mechanism of global warming

3 . Conceptual Model A set of ideas which explains certain phenomenon. Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments. Examples Water cycle food web 3. Conceptual Model

Check understanding 1: Station Work Visit 6 different stations and identify what type of model each station has and write down the importance of each model. Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Check understanding 2 Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments.

Check understanding 2 Understand the types of scientific models and how they are used in experiments. What is the type of scientific models used in the video? Why did they use model instead of real plane to test on plane crash? What did they do to make sure that the models represent the real situation well? (list as many as you can) What were the limitations? How can we improve the accuracy of the result? (Give few suggestions) Physical, mathematical model It is safer and less expensive to discover problems with models than real planes. Used the same sized human model (dummies). Tested in different places (land, water) Had the same amount of impact / force placed on the human models. The distance of travel was shorter than in reality. Repeat the test few more times / have longer travel distance / consider the effects from climate.
