Learning Goal
We are learning to use the scientific method to investigate processes, ideas, and issues.


Let’s begin by reviewing yesterday – we looked at some science present in advertising. We will look at 2 more examples today.

We will view two more commercials that make some sort of claim. Your mission is to answer these questions for each of the following videos:

• What claims are made about the product being advertised?
• What advertising methods are used to make us believe these claims?
• Do you believe in the claims made about these products? Why or why not?

For the remainder of class, we will work on completing our investigations from last week. We will review the experiments, process, and rubrics for the O-Wing experiments.

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.
