Freshman Project-Part Two-Experimental Design
In this experimental design worksheet, students identify the title, hypothesis, independent and dependent variables , the constants and the control for their experiment. They use a scoring guide to asses their progress.
Curated OER
Red Means Danger
Learners describe some common pests. They study three levels of pest control from the IPM pyramid.
Curated OER
Bubbles
Students experiment bubbles. In this scientific method lesson, students identify variables used in proper experiment design. Students conduct experiments with different brands of dish-washing detergent to determine which brand makes the...
Curated OER
Soil and Agriculture:Lesson 3 - Soil Erosion
Students reseach the different types of soil erosion and ways to control it in this series of activities.
Curated OER
Transformations
Students identify the types of transformations in their lives. As a class, they determine the ones they have control over and which ones they do not. They practice solving problems in math and oral communication that they are faced with...
Virginia Department of Education
Scientific Inquiry: Measurement/Data
While pupils design their own lab experiments, they will not form a new species. Scholars take their materials and design an experiment regarding reaction rates.
Biology Junction
Scientific Method
Break down the scientific method to get a better grasp on the proper way to use it. A short presentation walks through each step in the scientific method and the proper vocabulary associated with each. Scholars complete the worksheet to...
