Monika : Y5 Science

Chapter 1
  1.  Read “All About Seeds.”
  2. Watch this lesson on seeds. Make sure you listen to it! It’s talking to you. Click on the arrow to turn the page when it is time.
  3. Read about seed dispersal.
  4. Read “How Seeds Are Scattered.”
  5. Read about seed structure.
  6. Turn the page and read about germination.
  7. You don’t need to know all of the blue words.
  9. Read about germination.
  10. You can read about and watch germination here.
  11. Do all plants have seeds to make more plants? What do you think? Make a guess then read this page.
  12. Now turn the page. Can you figure out which seeds grows into which plant?
  14. Can you say which way a seed becomes a plant?
  15. Follow the directions on the next page.
  16. *Do you remember woody and herbaceous plants? Connect the words to the correct parts of the tree (the woody plant) and the flowers (the herbaceous plant).
  17. What parts do both types of plants have?
  18. Read the poem at the top of the paper. Why couldn’t woody bend?
 Chapter2
  1. Read pages 18-21 of The First Book of Plants. These pages are about two things that woody and herbaceous plants have in common.
  2.  Read this page about plant classification.
  3. Read about the parts of a flower. Just read this one page.
  4. Read The First Book of Plants pages 23 and 24.
  5. Draw a picture of a flower and label it
  6. Read The First Book of Plants pages 25 to 29.

  8. Read The First Book of Plants pages 30-33.
  9. Take the quiz and see what you remember. It’s okay to mistakes if you learn from them! Skip the page with the blank boxes. Click next to move on.
  10. Read about bulbs. You don’t have to learn the blue words, but click on the word bulb and then draw and label a picture like the one shown. Don’t click on the box at the bottom of the page.
  11. Tell someone about bulbs.
  12. Read “What is a bulb?” and follow the directions. Add to your list.
  13. See if you can see the parts of a bulb in an onion or garlic clove.
  14. Finish reading the rest of the case. Keep clicking next.
  15. Watch the video on plant growth and take the quiz.
  16. Watch the video on photosynthesis and take the quiz. It’s okay if you don’t get them all right. This is advanced.
 

Chapter 3

  1. Learn the water cycle. What are the four parts?
  2. Answer these questions about the water cycle. (You can just tell someone the answers.) Watch the water cycle animation again if you need help with any of the answers. There are two answers that aren’t in the animation, but they are things you’ve learned about this year already. They start with G and R.
  3. You are going to be reading about 3 pages a day from the book, The First Book of Water.
  4. Read the next three pages of The First Book of Water.
  5. Read the next three pages of The First Book of Water.
  6. Next in the water cycle is evaporation and transpiration.
  7. Experiment: Wet different materials and set them out in the sun. Observe how long they take to dry. Where did the water go? (You can do this indoors if you need to.) Ideas for materials: paper towel, washcloth, twig
  8.  Read the next three pages of The First Book of Water.
  9. The next phase of the water cycle is condensation, where water vapor cools into water droplets and forms clouds.
  10.  Read the next three pages of The First Book of Water.
  11. What happens when you heat ice? What happens when you heat liquid? What happens when you cool steam? What happens when you cool liquid?
  12. The last stage of the water cycle is precipitation. You are most familiar with this. It means when the water falls from the sky as rain, snow or even hail.
  13.  Read about temperature. Keep clicking on next. The last page to read has a play button.
  14. Drag the slider up and down the thermometer to see what average temperatures are for various things, both in Fahrenheit and in Celsius.
  15. What’s the current temperature where you are?
  16. Find your current temperature on the other scale, either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
  17. Sometimes the temperature feels different than it is. When you are out in the sun it feels hotter than in the shade. Wet your hands and wave them around to act like wind is blowing on them. Do they feel colder? We call that wind chill. When it’s windy, it feels cooler.
   

Chapters 4 & 5
    1. Read these three pages (click on next page) about light.
    2. Do this activity about light.
    3. Let’s learn a little more about light and the light bulb. The light in the bulb basically is a fine wire, called a filament, that gives off light because it is heated up and gets hot. It’s actually atoms that are giving off light. Remember how they get excited when they heat up? The electricity travels into the bulb, heats up the atoms in the filament, causes them to jump around which gives off the light. To make the bulb shine as it does, it is filled with a gas to help it. The gas is called argon.
    4. Watch the video below on how a light bulb is made in a factory today
    5. We see because light travels from the light source to an object, reflects off that object and hits our eye.
    6. Watch this video about how light travels.
    7. Try this quiz about light.
    8. (If you can’t answer the questions, go and read here.)

    10. You’ve learned that light travels in a straight line. You’ve also learned that you can change the direction that light travels by reflecting it.
    11. Take a hand-held mirror (or something else reflective–watches and rings might work) and find a light to reflect. Make a light dance around the ceiling by reflecting it off your mirror.
    12. Get a glass of water. Use a clear glass if you can so you can see inside well. Place a pencil or straw inside the cup. Does it look the pencil is bent? The light bends when it hits the surface of the water. It doesn’t stop the light like a wall does, but it bends it enough to send a bent reflection back to our eyes.
    13. *Write up an experiment worksheet. Question: Can light bend?
    14. Watch this video about how light bends and slows.
    15.  
    16. Get a metal spoon. Look at yourself in it. Turn it over. What do you observe? Remember, what you see is the light reflecting off of something. Because the top of the spoon is curved down the light bounces off and heads down, so we see our forehead at the bottom. The light that hits the bottom part is bounced up by the curve, so we see our chins at the top. On the other side we see ourselves stretched out. Why? In what direction does the light bounce?
    17. Draw a picture of light hitting a spoon from both sides. Where does the light bounce to?
    18. Read this page about reflection.
    19. Read this page about light refraction.
    20. Because of what we know about how our eyes see light and how our brains receive those signals, people have developed many optical illusions. We think we see what we don’t see. Want to see?
    21. Here is one. The pictures on the right and the left are the same. The blocks A and B are the same color.
    22. Here is another.
    23. Want more?

Iodine turns blue in reaction to starch. When a starch solution is placed in dialysis tubing (a semi-permeable membrane) and the tubing is added to a beaker of iodine , will the starch be able to pass through the tubing and turn the water blue or will the smaller iodine molecules pass through and turn the contents of the tube
