Science Skills SG 1
Name: _______________
1.Students will be able to list the steps of the scientific method in order.
a.observation
b.hypothesis
c.experiment
d.analyze data
e.conclusion
2. Students will be able to explain which scientific method step
is the most important.
Any of the steps are acceptable answers IF the answer is support with reasons.
3. Students will be able to identify why scientists use the metric system.
The metric system is used in every country in the world except for the US, England and
Burma. Using the same measuring system makes it possible for scientists around the
world to share and compare their data.
4. Students will be able to identify the metric units that measure each
mass, length, and volume.
a. mass – grams
b.distance – meters
c. volume – liters or m3
5. Students will be able to identify the relationship between each unit.
a. There are 10 millis in a centi (meter, gram, or liter)
b. There are 1000 millis in a meter, gram or liter.
c. There are 100 centis in a meter or gram or liter.
d. There are 1000 meters in a in a kilo (meter, gram, or liter)
6. Students will be able to identify the definition of mass.
Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter inside an object.
7. Students will be able to identify the definition of weight.
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object.
8. Students will be able to identify the definition of volume.
Volume is the measurement of the amount of space an object fills.
9. Students will be able to identify and use the formula to find the
volume of a regular (rectangular) solid.
Height x width x depth = Volume Units 3
10. Students will be able to identify the technique used to find the
volume of an irregular (not rectangular) object.
a) measure the amount of liquid in the cylinder.
b) Gently add the irregular object to the cylinder.
c) measure the amount of liquid in the cylinder after adding the irregular object.
d) Subtract your first measurement away from the second measurement
