Location - Math/Science Computer Lab
Objective: The students will research their problem/question.
The students will state a hypothesis. The students will develop their material list and their methods.
We will begin in the math/science computer lab. Every group got their question approved yesterday. Today, they will be researching their question and creating a hypothesis. All of the information will be shared on Google docs so they must have an account. If they don't then we need to solve the issue early. They need to share with their group members. I will go to google docs and show them how to do this using examples that I have done.
When they have created a hypothesis, they are to check it with me and I will check their rubric box. If it is not proficient then they are to keep working on it. Their hypothesis needs to be based on good science, a confident statement/prediction, and it must be testable.
When their hypothesis is approved, they can start designing the experiment. Creating a materials list as well as a detailed list of step by step instructions. The materials list and instructions must be completed and approved by the end of class on Friday.
When their hypothesis is approved, they can also work on their glog.
This goes against the concept of the ECA but I need to some back up plans for experiments so I can give them to groups who are struggling.
