Learners will investigate basic information about what it means to be a scientist. They will observe the characteristics and skills that it takes to become a scientist. Then they will draw a map of the process of becoming a scientist. They also will make their own scientist. They will understand what materials are used by scientists as well. They will also learn a brief overview of the scientific process.

# data[].attributes.body
Understand how scientists work. Understand how they conduct research and experiments. Understand what types of materials and products are used in labs.

Science overall: scientific method, skills, processes.
Addressed:
Biology: living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
Geology: Various landforms such as mountains, buttes, lakes, rivers, valleys, and hills.
Botany: cluding their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, classification, and economic importance.
Zoology: study of the behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and distribution of animals.
Ecology: biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.

The process of becoming a scientist:

The trail begins with the research question: What is a scientist? Learners explore the process required for individuals to become a scientist. The teacher will go through the process and talk to the students about what scientists are required to do. The students will take visual notes when the teacher is talking about the process.

# data[].attributes.body
Materials Used by Scientists:

After the students discover the process of becoming a scientist, students will uncover what materials scientists may use in their daily lives. They will research in their books and internet, while navigating around the classroom on a scavenger hunt to find certain materials. After they find the materials they will generate a list where they will draw a representation of each material that a scientist uses.

After Lessons 1&2 Formative Assessment: Students will discuss with a partner the process of becoming a scientist and what they need to become a scientist.

# data[].attributes.body
Make their own Scientist:

In this step, learners decide what a scientist would look like by researching what a scientist wears in the lab and after learning what materials a scientist needs. Then they create their own scientist using markers and paper.

# data[].attributes.body
The Scientific Method:

After understanding the process of becoming a scientist and materials used, students will learn about the steps of the scientific method. They will map out the steps in their journals by walking around the room where each step is written on a posted note. They will take the descriptions and place them in the right order and then create a map that depicts the scientific method in the correct order and in a creative way. The map is the artistic representation of the scientific method.

After Lessons 3&4 Formative Assessment: The students with conduct reflective writing on the scientific method and how they created their own scientist.

# data[].attributes.body
Mentos and Coke Experiment:

Students will observe the teacher act as a scientist. The teacher will display an experiment (what happens when you put mentos into a 2L coke bottle). Students will use this lesson to see a scientist (in action), as the students use their science skills. Then the students will recreate the reaction that they witnessed using their creativity to represent the explosion. This will be achieved by having the students do scratch art to represent their artistic representation of the explosion. The purpose of this assignment is to allow the students to witness what a scientist does and how they conduct an experiment.

Experiment Handbook:
Learners will create a handbook or zine on different experiments they would do as scientists. They will write out the experiment and draw a diagram/example of the experiment.

Example of an experiment:
Rainbow Celery Experiment
Materials:

1. Leafy celery stalks

2. Jars or glasses filled halfway with water

3. Food coloring (at least 3 colors)

4. Scissors (optional)

Directions:

1. Fill the jars or glasses about halfway with water and place them by sunlight.

2. Drop different colors of food coloring into each of the glasses.

3. Cut or rip stalks of celery and place them in the cups of colored water.

4. Let the celery sit. Check every few hours with your child to see how the colors change!

After they write out the experiment, they will draw, paint, or add a printed picture of what their experiment looked like.

After Lessons 5&6 Formative Assessment: The students with interview a partner on what experiments they decided to include in their handbook and they will discuss how scientists preform experiments.

1. What did you learn about the scientific process?

2. How did you use the  materials that a scientist would use in the lessons?

3. How and what are the steps to become a scientist?

4. Why do scientists perform experiments?

5. How is science artwork different than other types of artwork?

6. What makes you a scientist?

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher will have a scientist come into the classroom after all of the lessons are done for a Q & A session. The students will have the opportunity to tell the scientist what they have learned while also having the opportunity to ask the scientist questions directly.
