Oregon Standards
- 8.3S.1 Based on observations and science principles, propose questions or hypotheses that can be examined through scientific investigation. Design and conduct a scientific investigation that uses appropriate tools, techniques, independent and dependent variables and controls to collect relevant data.
- 8.3S.2 Organize, display and analyze relevant data, construct an evidence-based explanation of the results of a scientific investigation, and communicate the conclusions including possible sources of error. Suggest new investigations based on analysis of results.
- 6.2P.2 Describe physical and chemical properties of matter and how they can be measured.
- 7.2E.4 Explain how landform change over times at various rates in terms of constructive and destructive forces.
- 8.2E.1 Explain how gravity is the force that keeps objects in the solar system in regular and predictable motion and describe the resulting phenomena.
- H.1E.1 Classify the bodies in our solar system based on properties and composition. Describe attributes of our galaxy and evidence for multiple galaxies in the universe.
- H.2E.3 Describe how the universe, galaxies, stars and planets evolve over time.

Science Inquiry Objectives
- Create testable hypotheses.
- Identify independent, dependent and control variables for a variety of hypotheses and investigations.
- Create specific procedures that other people can follow.
- Make a scatter-plot graph from the data.
- Complete a graph with all necessary features: scaled axis, title, labels, units and legend.
- Research and create a Background for an investigation.
- Analyze data and compare with a hypothesis.
Hypothesis: "If a rose plant receive fertilizer A, then it will grow to be bigger than a plant that does not receive fertilizer A, because fertilizer A has nutrients ideal for roses.”
1. Identify an independent variable and a dependent variable for an investigation of this hypothesis.
2. Make a list of controlled variables in an investigation of this hypothesis.
3. Create procedures that could be followed in this investigation.
4. Make a line graph of the data below. 5. Describe the data. Does the data support the hypothesis?
Time (days) | Average Rose Height (cm) without fertilizer | Average Rose Height (cm) with fertilizer A |
0 | 10 | 10 |
2 | 13 | 15 |
4 | 15 | 19 |
6 | 19 | 23 |
Density Objectives
- Calculate density when given mass and volume
- Find the density of small, odd shaped objects.
- Place liquids of different densities in the correct order when put in a container.
1. A block of aluminum occupies a volume of 15.0 mL and mass of 40.5 g. What is its density?
2. A rectangular block of copper metal has a mass of 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, what is the density of copper?
Objects in Space Objectives
- Describe orbits and methods for space travel
- Explain the leading theory for how the moon was formed and the evidence for it.
- Distinguish the different kinds of small bodies in the solar system.
- Define what consists of the Solar System.
1. How does a rocket get a satellite into orbit around the Earth?
2. Place the following space objects into the diagram to the right:
planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, moons, meteors, meteorites
Stars & Galaxies Objectives
- Recognize patterns of stars in the night sky.
- Describe why people have grouped stars into constellations.
- Describe the three main shapes of galaxies in the universe.
- Identify information can starlight give us.
- Describe the life-cycle of average stars.
- Describe the life-cycle of massive stars.
1. What defines a Zodiac constellation?
2. List in order the colors of the rainbow from coldest to hottest as it applies to starlight.
3. What will happen to our sun over the next 8 billion years?
4. What conditions would cause a super red giant star?
