I hope you had a good weekend and I look forward to seeing the variety of plants that come into class today. A large portion of the class will be spent working on designing an experiment of your choice. I hope you thought of some questions that you are interested in exploring.
Objectives:
Language objectives:
Objectives:
- I can create a question that can be tested using my plants.
- I can describe the types of variables in a scientific experiment.
- I can design a procedure to test my question.
Language objectives:
- I can write a question that provides the focus of my experiment.
- I can write a hypothesis that is directly related to my question.
Plant Drawing -
Get to know your plant. In your notebook, make a drawing of your plant.
Question Bank - Students will use whiteboards to record possible questions. We will group together to make a master list.
Design -
What will be our question?
What is the independent (manipulated) variable?
What is the dependent (responding) variable?
What items will we keep the same in our experiment?
How will we experiment?
Body systems review - return of assessments, progress reports and tracking sheet. Goal setting - what do I need to do in order to improve?
Circulatory System Parts - It seems like there was some confusion on the last assessment so we will have a quick assessment on this next class.
