H20 To Go 
 
Grade Level: 9

Subject: Science

Learner Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
1.  Identify scientific equipment found in the laboratory.
2.  Safety and correctly use necessary equipment to master success in the laboratory.
3.  Use laboratory equipment necessary for this lesson.

Duration of Lesson:  One 45 minute class period.

Materials:
1.  Beaker
2.  Graduated  cylinder
3.  Triple beam balance.
4.  Paper
5.  Pencil
6.  Handouts

Technology Tools/Course  software:
1.  Microsoft Word
2.  Computer
3.  Projector

Teacher Notes:
1.  Handouts can be viewed in rich text format which requires acrobat reader.
2.  Lab Safety Agreements must be copied, signed and dated prior to day 1.
3.  Lab equipment needs to be set out prior to lesson.
4.  Take 6 triple beam balances and place one at each station.
5.  Take eighteen 500 milliliter beakers and place three at each station.
6.  Fill each beaker with a predetermined amount of water ( such as 10 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml) and label as beaker number
     one, two, and three.
7.  Using 6 graduated cylinders, place one at each station.
8.  All handouts need to be copied prior to lesson.
     Handouts include:
     Laboratory Safety Quiz
     Laboratory Safety Answer Key
     Lab Safety Agreement
     Data Table
     Data Table Answer Key
     Laboratory Equipment Handout
9.  Optional quiz on laboratory safety provide ample time remains.
10 If  Power Point presentation is to be used, the projector needs to be set up prior to lesson.

Procedures:
1.  Equipment is to be set out prior to lesson.
2.  Students will review laboratory safety procedures using a safety handout.
3.  Students will be introduced to various laboratory equipment necessary for this lesson.
4.  Teacher will demonstrate correct usage for each piece of equipment.
     Such as:
           A.  Using a graduated cylinder, filled with various amounts of water demonstrating how to read it using the meniscus.
           B.  Using a triple beam balance and a beaker, demonstrate the correct way to read various weights of water.
5.  Allow students ample time to get familiar with reading and weighing the different amounts of water.
6.  Students will be given the laboratory data table data sheet as a graded assignment for this experiment.
7   Students will be given a handout showing the tittle of each equipment piece and the description for each.
8.  Optional:
      Quiz on laboratory safety
      Power Point presentation will be used to end the daily lesson.

Modifications:
1.  Individual IEP's should be considered for addressing special needs.
2.  Once mastery of reading and weighing is completed, teacher can us peer tutoring for help in acquiring mastery for all
     students..

Enrichment/Assessment:
1.  Students will be using scientific instruments to reinforce their learning outcomes.
2.  Peer tutoring is a great way to build the students self esteem.

West Virginia Standards:

            9.17  engage in active inquiries, investigations and hands-on activities for a minimum of 50
            percent of the instructional time to develop conceptual understanding and laboratory skills
            9.18  properly and safely manipulate equipment, materials, chemicals, organisms and
            models
National Standards:

           Uses technology (e.g., hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics
           (e.g., measurement, formulas, charts, graphs) to perform accurate scientific investigations and
           communications

           Designs and conducts scientific investigations (e.g., formulates testable hypotheses; identifies and clarifies
           the method, controls, and variables; organizes, displays, and analyzes data; revises methods and
           explanations; presents results; receives critical response from others)

Job/Career Clusters:
Science and Natural Resources; Science; Entry, Skilled, Professional
