Scientists say ‘surf in cold water, it is safer than warm’ TASK: Discuss the claim with your partners -do you agree? -could there be a scientific explanation?

By the end of the allocated time last lesson… You should have: 1) Identified the independent, dependent and control variables. 2) Obtained an accurate set of results.

This lesson you need to…. 1) Present your results in a suitable and plot a graph 2) Form a conclusion based on the results and any knowledge you have on the spreading of particles.

All will be able to produce an appropriate results table on the shark attack investigation Literacy Objective: Using key Words to form an explanation Numeracy: Calculation of mean averages and graph scaling Most will be able to produce a suitable graph without help Some will be able to fully explain any relationships found using the correct scientific theory

What we measured Plotting a scatter graph. What we changed. Success Criteria: 1. The graph should take up the whole page. 2. There should be a title and both axis labelled. 3. The scale should be sensible and clear. 4. The graph should be drawn with a pencil and a ruler. 5. The graph should be labelled in pen.

TASK: Use your verbal understanding and your results from the experiment to write a conclusion to the question: “Is Surfing in cold water is safer than surfing in hot water? ”

Your conclusion 1. You need to explain the basic pattern in your data. 2. Use examples from the data to support what you are saying. 3. Use as many of the following key words as possible to explain the pattern: Diffusion Particles Concentration Spread Liquid Movement You can use the dictionaries, textbooks and information sheet to help you.
