Learning Goals:
We are learning to use the scientific method to investigate processes, ideas, and issues.
We are learning to think about the ways science is presented in the media
Begin by looking at your experimental results from yesterday. What do you see with your results? Add these observations to your chart.
Review your observations and write a conclusion:
- answer your question,
- decide whether the claim made in the add is true
- identify any errors that were made or how you could improve your experimental design.
Collect all of your work for this experiment, and hand it in with the rubric.
Next we will end off the week by evaluating the scientific process in the Mythbusters!
We are going to now review the scientific method from a favourite source: Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters. As we view the episode “DO try this at home” you should be identifying the scientific method seen in one of the experiments using this form.
We will discuss what we see.
