The Week of September 16th

The students were digging into parts of an experiment this past week.

We completed focused readings on "The Scientific Method- Variables and Controls" as well as "Bill's Cake."  Our goal was to expose the students to vocabulary used in experiments and a specific example to ground their understanding.

Here is a list of the essential vocabulary:

• question
• hypothesis
• experiment
• procedure
• data
• variables- independent variable and dependent variable
• constants
• control
• conclusion
