Science I-Check 3 Study Guide

The Science test  is Friday, October 7, 2011

1.       The products of photosynthesis are water (H20), oxygen (O2), and sugar.

2.       The products water and oxygen go into the air and the sugar goes into the phloem.

3.       Food is anything that provides energy.

4.       Plants use the food produced during photosynthesis by breaking down the sugar to carbon dioxide and water, which releases energy. The cells use this energy.

5.       Animals use the food produced by plants by breaking down the sugar to carbon dioxide and water, which releases energy. The cells use this energy.

6.       During cellular respiration (the animal cookie and cereal experiments), pure sugar produces the most gas (carbon dioxide) when you measure it in the volume gage. Foods with the least amount of sugar produce the least amount of carbon dioxide gas. For example, pure sugar has the most gas, then a sugary cereal like Froot Loops, and a cereal like Wheaties would have the least amount of gas because it has the least amount of sugar.

7.       In the making food experiment, we learned that beans produce food only when light, carbon dioxide, and water are present because they increase in mass.

8.       Be able to read and interpret data from a volume gage and a chart/table.

9.       Be able to write a detailed plan that explains how to conduct an experiment to find out which fruit contains the most cereal. (Refer to the testing cereals experiment in your notebook).

10.   In the testing cereal experiment, we compared the amount of gas in each bag. The bags with the most gas contained the most sugar.

11.   When activating yeast, use warm liquids with sugar to make the yeast bubble faster.

About Me

My photo
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Buffalo Trail community and especially the wonderful 5th grade team. This is my 2nd year at BTE and my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in Kentucky and Colorado. Before moving to Denver three years ago, I lived in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I earned a BS from the University of Kentucky and my MAT from the University of Louisville. In 2007, I became a National Board Certified Teacher with an emphasis in Early/Middle Childhood Reading and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read, ride my bike, try new restaurants, and go to concerts/sports events. I love cheering my teams on during basketball season, hiking, and skiing. I am loving Colorful Colorado and look forward to our new adventures together!
