We will begin in the math/science computer lab. Every group got their question approved the past two days. Today, they will be researching their question, creating a hypothesis, creating a list of materials, and developing their methods for their experiment. 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.
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.
If they have time they can work on their glog or discussion board.
Experiments begin on Monday.
Most groups are progressing really well. There are some that did not check their methods and materials with me so I will have to check them prior to them beginning their experiment.
