Science Vocab Part 2
Image Source: Project Archaeology Materials: ( Updated July 28, 2017). Updated worksheet for students to use for this activity ( Public ). Changed it from “The Boy in the Water” to the “The Goat by the Water”. Changed references from ‘boy’ to ‘kid’ and his/her for gender.
The IELTS often deals with life sciences, especially in its Reading section.Expect to encounter a lot of life sciences vocabulary words on the exam. In this post, we’ll look at the most common IELTS science vocabulary words: those related to life sciences, the environment, and plants and animals.
my students alway bring up that we infer that it is a boy, but it could be a girl, too, and they are right!!. also remind them that a ‘kid’ is a baby goat, the goat in the picture has horns 😉. I also created Google Slides for this activity. improved answer key. also added a ‘make your own inference’ slide at the end.
The original worksheet for this activity is from Project Archaeology Students often have difficulty distinguishing between observations and inferences, they often combine the two into one statement. For example, when asked to make an observation using the image above some students might say: “ The kid fell into the water because the branch broke.” Instead, they should say “there is a kid in the water” and “there is a broken branch” as two separate observations. There is no “why” in the statement. Another student may say: “The goat pushed the kid into the water when he/she was trying to pick up his/her sailboat.” This is not an easy habit to break and takes some practice.
We then discuss the difference between the facts and the “story” that goes with it. The facts are our observations and the story is how we piece the facts together, or our inference. Observations:. There is a kid is in the water.
There is a goat is standing next to the water. There is a broken tree branch.
There is a sailboat is floating in the water Inferences:. The branch broke when the kid was sitting on it, and s/he fell into the water. The goat butted the kid into the water when s/he was picking up her/his sailboat. After defining and discussing the differences between observations and inferences, students will have a chance to work with their partner to practice identifying and classifying the statements related to the image of the boy in the water. Once everyone is done, as a class, we then discuss each statement and confirm each as either an observation or inference.
On your worksheet, use the picture of the kid in the water to determine if the statements are observations or if the statements are inferences. Place an “Inf” in the blank for inference and an “Obs” in the blank for observation.
2018 I added a 16th term to the Venn Diagram and new handout to go with it. Part 1 – Discussion and Categorizing: Students will work in collaborative groups to determine where each statement will go into the Venn diagram.
In their notes, they will pencil in an ‘S’ for solid, ‘L’ for liquid, ‘SL’ if it goes between Solid/Liquid, etc next to each statement on their list. Part 2 – SMART Board: Each group will have a turn to make a guess to place one of the statements into the Venn diagram. If the group is correct, it stays in the Venn diagram and each student writes the statement into their Venn diagram handout and crosses it off the list. If the statement is incorrectly placed into the diagram, the statement is returned to the list outside of the diagram. The next group chooses a statement, and so on, until all of the statements have been placed correctly into the Venn diagram. Using a blue colored pencil, the students will fill in the phrases related to the states of matter and their characteristics, such as definite shape or volume. Using a red colored pencil, they can write in the phase changes, such as evaporation.
They will notice that all of the phase changes are placed where two states of matter overlap. For example, evaporation is placed where liquids and gases overlap. For more lessons about phases of matter, please see my. Follow me on Twitter. Materials:. Question Cards: I printed out and laminated ppt slides that I had created about the Moon and Apollo Missions.
(pdf). Record Keeping: (pdf) Procedures: Before starting the activity, I modeled how to ask, answer, and trade using student volunteers. We also discussed ‘quizzing etiquette’. What do you do if your partner is stuck? How can you give clues to help jog their memories?
What are some things that you should or should NOT say if someone can’t answer the question, even with hints? After you go over the answer with your partner, are there any tips to help your partner remember the answer? I stressed the importance of helping each other learn. It is not just about getting the answers right or wrong and no one ‘wins’ if they answered the most questions correctly. Each student was given one question to start the activity.
Because I had more questions than students in my class, after a student makes 3 trades, I had the students hand in/trade their cards with me to introduce new questions into the mix as needed. Some students will answer more questions than others, and that is ok. The students quizzed/traded with each other for about 20 minutes. While they were quizzing each other, they kept track of which questions they answered correctly, and which ones they needed to work on using this handout: (pdf) Sample Question Card For the second half of the review activity, I divided the class into two teams. I would randomly pick one question to ask each team.
Before I asked the question, I announced the number of the question I was going to ask them. The students on each team then looked at their sheets to see who had that answered that numbered question correctly and chose one person to come up to answer the question. If no one had the numbered question answered correctly (or did not have a chance to answer it during QQT), they would volunteer a ‘tribute’ to try to answer the question. If the first team answers correctly after I read the question to the class, they earned a point.
If answered incorrectly, the other team had a chance to steal and earn the point. We really enjoyed playing QQT and I plan on using it again in a variety of ways. This is also a great way to practice vocabulary words.
Using index cards, students can write the vocab word on one side and the definition on the other. You can also use it for identification skills – show a picture on one side, and the identification on the other. For example, one side can have a picture of a beaker, and the other side will have the word ‘beaker’ to practice identifying lab equipment. Other ideas include: plant identification, constellation identification, cloud identification, metric conversions or abbreviations, etc.
You can access them as a Shared Google Drive Folder ( I always like to have puzzles handy for students to work on when they have finished their classwork, or if they completed a test and are waiting for other students to finish, or just for fun! I have 72 science themed scramble puzzles (Scrabble-like) based on Physical and Earth Science vocabulary words. There is a Master List that shows all the words and which number puzzle it is. Each file is saved as the answer, too. Students can make 3, 4, 5, and 6 letter words and calculate their scores based on the letter values within each word they find. There is one 7 letter science word answer for each puzzle.

For instance, if you were discussing Huck Finn's essential decency, his humaneness, you couldn't list all cases (the novel is full of them) but you could focus on his growing awareness of how much he cares for Jim and on his resolve to help Jim escape, and you could point out the risks Huck takes to help the Wilks girls.
