Sketch a Scientist

After today's activity sketching a scientist, how would your drawing change if you were to do it again?

All Tied Up!

Amazing work today! I know that you got frustrated, but I was very proud of your perseverance. Great job Stella/Sara and Sophia/Shalyn for being the first to get loose!

Here are the questions and format for the conclusion paragraph in case you did not have time in class to finish.

Analysis Questions:

1. Why is it important to revise your hypothesis as you get new information?
2. How did using the scientific method help you to solve this problem?
3. Why is it important for an experiment to be reproducible?
4. Where in your life can you use the scientific method?

Conclusion Paragraph Format:

What was the problem?
What was your hypothesis?
What were the results (what happened)?
Was your hypothesis supported or not supported?
What did you learn?

See you tomorrow!

Welcome Back 7th and 8th!

What an amazing group of 7th and 8th graders we have this year!  It is so fantastic that there are so many of you that we need 2 classes!  In today's activity, the Nature of Science, what did the small square represent and how did it affect your original shape?  How is that similar to when, as scientists, we discover new information?

Welcome to Middle School 6th Grade!

What a great first day!  I was so excited to see all of you back for middle school.  Today we started the famous "All Tied Up" activity, in order to show the value of using the scientific method in solving a problem.  Was your first hypothesis correct?  Why is it important to not consider an experiment a failure even if your hypothesis is wrong?

Hello Fifth Grade!

Today went so fast!   I was going to ask you questions about sketch a scientist, but we did not get to it.  Instead, I will just ask you, what are you most excited to learn about this year in science?
