Scientific Method

Do you have a question and need an answer?
Use the Scientific Method to help you get quality results!

This week we will be learning the steps of the Scientific Method. At the end of the week we will apply what we have learned when we perform the "Penny Lab."


**QUESTION OF THE WEEK**

Can you think of an occupation (job) that would require the employees to use the Scientific Method on a daily basis?

Leave me a comment with your answer and an explanation!

"About Me Poster"

What's on the agenda this week?a


 --"About Me Poster"--
Due Friday, August 26th
The purpose of this activity is to get to know your classmates, share a little about yourself, and set goals for this school year! So here is what should be on your poster....

  • Your full name (First and last are a must; nicknames can be used too.)
  • Write at least 4 things no one else would know about you!
  • What are your favorite and least favorite science topics? Tell me why!
  • Write 5 goals you have for this school year (give me both academic and personal goals.)
  • Include at least 5 pictures that describe you and who you are.
* Your final product must be done neatly and be legible! It might be a good idea to do a rough draft before you work on your final product.
* Go above and beyond!! This is your chance to tell us about you. The more you know about the students in your class, the better your learning experience will be!
