Data Discussion Day!

Welcome back from the Thanksgiving break! I hope everyone is well rested and ready to continue. A quick check seems like your plants survived the extended weekend. Today, we will wrap up this inquiry project.

Content Objectives:

1. I can summarize the data that I have collected.
2. I can make a "claim" that is supported by my "evidence".

Language Objectives

1. I can explain the results of my experiment to my classmates.

November Process Words

• Adapt (6, 7, 8th grade)
• Verify (6, 7, 8th grade)
• Establish (7th grade)
• Relate (7th grade)

Tasks

1. Take your last data collection point.

2. Your plants have been through a lot. When you are finished collecting data, you may place them on an outside window sill and water. It will be nice to have some more plants in the windows. Try to remember to take care of your plants over the next few weeks. Will some recover from your experiments?

---------

The above tasks should take between 10-15 minutes. Once you are finished, please begin making meaning of the data you have collected. With your partner, use this paper as a guide.

For next class: Write a blog post

In your blog post, please provide the following information:

• Your question
• Your claim
• Evidence that supports your claim.
