Science: it’s Instrumental!,[object Object],Science Indicator Project,[object Object],By Rosanna Sartore,[object Object],For Education 373,[object Object]
Standard 4.1.5,[object Object],Demonstrate how measuring instruments, such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras, can be used to gather accurate information for making scientific comparisons of objects and events.  Note that measuring instruments, such as rulers, can also be used for designing and constructing things that will work properly.  ,[object Object]
Background Information,[object Object],History of the Microscope,[object Object],The first microscopes were really just magnifying glasses with a single lens,[object Object],The first compound microscope (microscope with more than one lens) was made around 1590 by two spectacle makers experimenting with lenses.,[object Object],Today, microscope inventors would be surprised by the quality yet affordable microscopes that are available in schools.  ,[object Object],An early microscope used in medicine,[object Object]
Background Information,[object Object],History of the Telescope,[object Object],In 1608, an inventor discovered that holding 2 lenses apart would produce greater magnification, but his patent was denied.,[object Object],Soon after, Galileo played with this idea and began studying the heavens and space,[object Object],In 1668, Newton created the first mirrored telescope, which was able to magnify to a much greater extent than lens-based telescopes.,[object Object],Telescope from the 1600s,[object Object]
Background Information,[object Object],History of the Camera,[object Object],In 1837, the first fixed image was created by artist Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre.  They were called Daguerreotypes.,[object Object],In 1888, the Kodak roll film camera was developed.  ,[object Object],In 1927, General Electric created the first flash bulb, which allowed photos to be taken in dark conditions.,[object Object],In 1968, the first “out of this world” photo was taken from the moon.  It shows the Earth.  ,[object Object],First camera image ever ,[object Object]
Background Information,[object Object],Resources used.  These can also be links to find more information if you are interested in a particular measuring instrument:,[object Object],http://www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/microscope-history.htm,[object Object],http://www.antiquespectacles.com/telescopes/telescopes.htm,[object Object],http://www.antiquetelescopes.org/history.html,[object Object],http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/01824/,[object Object]
Now that you know history…,[object Object],Take out your work page.,[object Object],Pick one measuring instrument you just read about.  ,[object Object],How would life be different if we did not have this measuring instrument?,[object Object],Write at least 6 sentences explaining how life would be different.  ,[object Object]
After writing…,[object Object],It’s experiment time!,[object Object],Take out bag #1 and write a description for the object inside.  Take no more than 60 seconds and only use your work page, a pen or pencil, and your brain.  ,[object Object],Place the object inside the box lid.  ,[object Object],Repeat for objects in bag #2 and bag #3.  ,[object Object],Find a parent, sibling, neighbor or friend.  ,[object Object]
After finding a helper…,[object Object],Give your work page with descriptions to your parent, sibling, neighbor, or friend.  ,[object Object],This person will try to decide which object matches which description.  ,[object Object],Watch the person, but do not give them help or hints.  They must try to figure out the answer using only the description you have already written.  ,[object Object]
Now see if they were right…,[object Object],Once the helper had made their choice, see if the person was right or not.  ,[object Object],Next, Write a short reflection that answers the following questions:,[object Object],Did the helper guess the correct objects?  Why or why not?,[object Object],Do you think your descriptions were accurate?  What could have made them more accurate?,[object Object]
Last Step…,[object Object],Use some of the measuring instruments in the box to examine the objects you described.  What information could you add to your description to make it more clear and scientific?  Write it down on your work page.  ,[object Object],Final Reflection:  If you wrote these descriptions from the beginning, what impact would it have had on your experiment?  Would it be harder or easier?  Name at least one other measuring instrument that could be used to gather data.,[object Object]
Once you go home…,[object Object],Visit www.rmsartore.pbworks.com,[object Object],Comment on this project.  What did you like best?  What did you like least?  What did you learn?,[object Object],Check out the following sites if you want more information.  ,[object Object],http://www.kidskonnect.com/subject-index/15-science/86-inventors-a-inventions.html to learn more about inventors, such as those who helped invent the telescope.  ,[object Object],http://chalk.richmond.edu/education/projects/webunits/measurement/index.htm to learn about more measurement tools.  ,[object Object]
