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!

FREEDOM!!!

Great job today!!!  You are my first class EVER to figure out how to escape from the ropes!!!  Don't forget to go to the false assumptions PowerPoint and answer the wrap up questions for homework.

All Tied Up!!

Great work today scientists!! Our first attempt at solving a problem scientifically went very well today. Remember to have the first five questions complete before class tomorrow and brainstorm ideas for how to get free from the ropes. You will have about five minutes with the ropes tomorrow to get free before the big reveal...HINT: What assumptions might you be making that are getting in the way of solving this problem??

We did it!! We did it!! We did it!! Oh wait.....

 

Oh, and vote for your favorite frog name!!! See you tomorrow :)
