Junior Cycle 1

Chapter 15 Topic: Measuring the Physical World. Number of Classes 5.

Learning Outcome PW.1. Students should be able to select and use appropriate measuring instruments PW.2. Students should be able to identify and measure/calculate length, mass, time, temperature, area, volume. NoS.2. Students should be able to recognise questions that are appropriate for scientific investigation, pose testable hypotheses, and evaluate and compare strategies for investigating hypotheses NoS.3. Students should be able to design, plan and conduct investigations; explain how reliability, accuracy, precision, fairness, safety, ethics, and the selection of suitable equipment have been considered NoS.5. Students should be able to review and reflect on the skills and thinking used in carrying out investigations, and apply their learning and skills to solving problems in unfamiliar contexts

Calculate, obtain a numerical answer, showing the relevant stages in the working Identify, recognise patterns, facts, or details; provide an answer from a number of possibilities; recognise and state briefly a distinguishing fact or feature Measure, quantify changes in systems by reading a measuring tool Use, apply knowledge or rules to put theory into practice

Area

Methodologies linked to action verbs

Use of formulae

Identify which apparatus to use for the various measurements

Measurement of Volume - cuboid (using ruler), irregular solid (using overflow can), liquid (using graduated cylinder)

Measurement of Time - using stopwatch to measure time (breaths per minute, heartbeat, length of time for student to say alphabet)

Calculation of Area - measure length and width of objects (table, copy etc)

Measure mass - using mass balance

Measurement of length - Students can measure various objects in the classroom using rulers, metre sticks, opisometers and trundle wheels. Discuss appropriate situations for each. Table of results to collect data
