Gizmo Scavenger Hunt-8th Grade Statewide Science Questions with Complete Solutions 2024. Physical Science Make sure you are signed in to your Gizmos account through your student portal. You can use screenshots and text to fill in your answers for the Scavenger Hunt! Points Question or puzzle to solve Answer (can be text, screenshots from Gizmos, or combos of both) 2 pts (SC.8.N.1.1) What is wrong with this experiment? There isn’t a control variable everything is changing, like the amount of water the plant receives, and the amount of sunlight. 15 pts (SC.8.N.1.1) Create a controlled experiment using one of the following Gizmos (Growing Plants, Coral Reefs Gizmo, Food Chain Gizmo, Conduction & Convection Gizmo, Force & Fan Carts Gizmo, Fan Cart Physics Gizmo, Sled Wars Gizmo, Phase Changes Gizmo, Rabbit Population by Season Gizmo Germination Gizmo Forest Ecosystem Gizmo, Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo, Roller Coaster Physics Gizmo). Identify your Question, Hypothesis, Independent/Dependent Variable, Results, and Conclusion. Growing Plants Question: Does the amount of light a plant receive affect its growth? Hypothesis: A plant light to grow and produce, so the light will affect the growth of the plant. Independent Variable: Amount of light a plant receives. Dependent Variable: The growth of the plant. Results: Having too much sunlight can affect the growth of the plant, and no sunlight at all can kill the plants. Conclusion: Plants need light to survive. 4 pts (SC.8.E.5.5) Go to the H-R Diagram Gizmo. After exploring it and creating your own H-R Diagram (put a screenshot or drawing to the right), explain how luminosity or absolute brightness is different from apparent magnitude (you can use the vocab sheet). Luminosity is the amount of energy a star emits per second. Apparent magnitude is the brightness of the star as it appears to observers, and absolute brightness is how the star is seen from a distance. 10 pts (SC.8.E.5.7) Use the Solar System and Solar System Explorer Gizmos. Compare and contrast the properties of objects in the Solar System, including the Sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions The closer a celestial object is to the sun the warmer it is, and the further away it is the weaker the gravitation force on the celestial object. 6 pts (SC.8.E.5.9) Use the Phases of the Moon Gizmo to fill in the model to the right that explains how the Sun, Moon, and Earth interact with each other so that we see different phases of the moon when we look outside at night. 6 pts (SC.8.E.5.9) Use the Tides Gizmo and Ocean Tides Gizmo to explore how tides work. Take a screenshot or draw a model of what causes spring and neap tides - then explain it in a short description. Wanning Crescent Day 26 Wanning Gibbous Day 18 Third Quarter Day 23 First Quarter Day 8 Waxing Gibbous Day 12 Full Moon Day 14 The gravitational pull of the Sun, and the Moon causes the ocean tides such as neap, and spring tides. 4 pts (SC.8.E.5.9) Use the Seasons in 3D Gizmo to figure out which 2 days of the year are solstices and which 2 are equinoxes. Record the hours of daylight for each of the 4 days. Use the Eclipse Gizmo and explain why we see an eclipse with a screenshot or drawing. June and December 21st are the two days of the solstices, and the two equinoxes are in March and September the 22nd . 10 pts (SC.7.E.6.2) Use the Rock Cycle Gizmo and Rock Classification Gizmo to build a model of the rock cycle to the right. Place the following words in the correct place in your model: deposition, erosion, igneous rock, lava, lithification, magma, metamorphic rock, rock cycle, sediment, sedimentary rock, soil, weathering. 8-12 pts (SC.7.E.6.4) Use the Building Pangaea Gizmo to show a model to the right of 3 different forms of physical evidence that support the theory that the Earth is evolving and that Pangaea once existed. Use screenshots for extra points.
