This week we will continue our investigation of "What is Science?" We will be looking further at observations and how we interpret the data we collect with our senses.
Upcoming Labs:
Do you see what I see?--students will use quantitative and qualitative observations to communicate with each other about samples from the natural world. Volunteers please remember to bring your items (4 of the same) to class.
Penny lab-
This at home lab will be used to investigate changes in experimental design and variables. Students will do some work on this lab at school but expect to see "hands-on homework" happening later this week and into next week.
Inquiry and the Learning Cycle--
Formal investigation as to what the inquiry cycle is and practice on developing our skills in each of the steps. These concepts of the learning/inquiry cycle will drive this unit "What is Science?" and students should expect a synthesis project bringing our learning all together with each component at the conclusion. More to come.....
