Students begin to conduct controlled experiments and record their information.
3. Lesson set up and Management
Questioning: Generate questions that can be answered through scientific investigations (IN01.2.1.1).
Planning and Conducting Investigations: Plan, conduct, and evaluate scientific investigations, using appropriate equipment, mathematics, and safety procedures (IN02.2.1.2).
Explaining: Use evidence from scientific investigations to think critically and logically to develop descriptions, explanations, and predictions (INO3 2.1.3).
Modeling: Correlate models of the behavior of objects, events, or processes to the behavior of the actual things under investigation; test models by predicting and observing actual behaviors or processes (IN04 2.1.4).
Plan and Conduct Investigations.
3. Lesson set up and Management
Materials:
Materials should be put into baggies ahead of time for quicker distribution. Activity sheet 2 should also be copied (or regular graph paper can be used).
Be sure to review with the students how to set up a data table.
Student Management:
Students are working in pairs. They should decide who should do which tasks.
Students should be making predictions before testing.
Writing Support:
Have student do reflection writing and data recording in their science notebooks.
Reading Support:
See the Student Activity Book for Lesson 4.
