    1) The document discusses scientific skills like observing, predicting, measuring, comparing, classifying, and recording data. It provides examples of how scientists use these skills. 2) It describes an investigation where students test whether beans that blend in color to a background are harder to find. The plan is to mix red, white, and black beans on black paper and time how many of each color beans people can pick up. 3) The results show that fewer black beans were picked up than red and white beans, since the black beans blended in to the black paper background. This supports the conclusion that animals blend in to their surroundings to make it harder for others to find them.

    Investigate and Experiment

    Sea anemones are animals


    that look like plants.

    What Is

    Science?

    Have you ever wondered about


    things you see? If you have, then you
    are a scientist! Science is a way to
    understand the world around us.

    Investigation and
    Experimentation
    4. Scientific progress is made by
    asking meaningful questions
    and conducting careful
    investigations. As a basis for
    understanding this concept
    and addressing the content
    in the other three strands,
    students should develop their
    own questions and perform
    investigations. Students will:

    a. Make predictions based on


    observed patterns and not
    random guessing.

    b. Measure length, weight,


    temperature, and liquid
    volume with appropriate
    tools and express those
    measurements in standard
    metric system units.

    c. Compare and sort common


    objects according to two or
    more physical attributes (e.g.,
    color, shape, texture, size,
    weight).

    d. Write or draw descriptions of a


    sequence of steps, events, and
    observations.

    e. Construct bar graphs to record


    data, using appropriately
    labeled axes.

    f. Use magnifiers or microscopes


    to observe and draw
    descriptions of small objects or
    small features of objects.

    g. Follow oral instructions for a


    scientific investigation.

    Inquiry Skills

    observe

    Scientists use skills to answer


    questions about the world.
    Here are some skills they use.

    predict
    communicate
    measure
    put things
    in order
    compare
    classify
    record data
    draw
    conclusions

    Observe

    Inquiry Skill
    Observe means to
    find out information.
    When you observe
    something, you
    carefully look, listen,
    taste, touch, or smell it.

    Scientists observe.
    Look at the picture.
    What do you see?
    5

    Predict

    Inquiry Skill
    Predict means
    to use what you
    know to tell
    what will happen.

    Scientists predict.
    Look at the picture. What do
    you predict will happen when
    the weather gets warmer?

    2 IE 4.a. Make predictions based on observed patterns and not random guessing.

    Communicate

    Inquiry Skill
    Communicate
    means to write,
    draw, or tell your
    ideas to others.

    Scientists communicate
    their ideas.
    Share your predictions
    with others.

    2 IE 4.d. Write or draw descriptions of a sequence of steps, events, and observations.

    Measure

    Inquiry Skill

    to find out how
    far something
    moves, or how
    long, how much,
    or how warm
    something is.

    beetle

    Scientists measure.
    Find out which animal
    is the smallest.
    Which one is the largest?
    8

    ant

    2 IE 4.b. Measure length, weight, temperature, and liquid volume with appropriate
    tools and express those measurements in standard metric system units.

    Sequence

    Inquiry Skill
    Put things in order
    means to decide
    which comes first,
    next and last.

    mouse

    lizard

    Scientists put things in order.

    Observe and Ask a Question


    Scientists observe and ask questions.
    Is there something you want to know
    about animals? What do you think the
    answer to your question is?

    Why do some
    animals blend in to
    their surroundings?

    I think they blend


    in so that other animals
    cannot find them.

    13

    Make a Plan
    Scientists make a plan.
    How could you find the answer
    to your question? Make sure
    your plan tests only one thing.

    Our Plan
    1. Get black construction
    paper. Get red, white,
    and black dry beans.
    2. Mix the beans together
    and put the beans on the
    paper.

    black paper

    red, white, and


    black beans

    3. Ask four people to pick


    up as many beans as
    they can in 10 seconds.
    4. Record how many of
    each color bean they
    pick up.
    chart
    stopwatch

    14

    2 IE 4.g. Follow oral instructions for a scientic investigation.

    Follow the Plan


    Scientists follow the plan.
    What will you need
    to follow your plan?

    15

    Record the Results


    Scientists record the results.
    How will you record
    what you observe?

    16

    Try the Plan Again


    Scientists try the plan again.
    Were your results true?
    Did you observe the same
    thing each time you tried
    your plan?

    17

    Draw a Conclusion and Communicate


    Scientists draw conclusions
    and communicate their results.
    People picked up
    fewer black beans than red
    and white beans. It was hard
    to find the black beans on
    the black paper.

    18

    We were right. When


    animals blend in to their
    surroundings it makes it
    hard to find them.
