Science experiments
Students practiced scientific inquiry by observing worms last week and coming up with questions and hypotheses about them. After carefully planning their experiments, today students conducted the experiments and wrote up their observations, data results, and conclusions. Many students made quantitative observations and made graphs of their data. Tomorrow we will complete the steps of the scientific method, when students give a 2 minute presentation with their partner to communicate to classmates their experiment, results, and conclusions.
See some photos below of the varied experiments students tried!
