Learning Goal:
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


We will be competing our ADD BUSTERS experiment today. First lets review the procedures:

Before you begin, you should create your Hypothesis.

To help you understand what I am looking for, we will use a tool to help us with our experiment: Laboratory Self-Check. We will star the criteria that we will focus on today.

Run the experiment and record observations in a table like this:

Time (min) Temperature of Styrofoam Temperature of ceramic
0
2
4
6

Once finished, create a line graph to show your results. Finally, draw a conclusion. This means your should answer your question.

If time remains, we will look at your final task for this unit: Science in the Media and Rubric

Reviewing Scientific Questions

We will add to our note from Friday – What is a good scientific question? Note-making: The Scientific Method

Today we are going to follow the scientific method introduced on Friday and apply our skills to create good questions. We will examine different gliders in The O-Wing Experiment. You will be working in groups of 3-4 to complete this investigation.

You need to hand in your work when you complete the experiment.
