Objective: Power standard 1
The students will learn the scientific method in order.
The students will be able to identify and explain the different steps.
The students will be able to define and identify the independent, dependent, standardized and control variables of an experiment.
Materials: Starter, bingo sheet, Mythbusters (tongue piercing)
Starter: 1. Name the steps of the scientific method in order. 2. Name the 2 groups that you must have when doing an experiment. 3. Name the 3 variables when doing an experiment.
Go through the starter.
Pass out the "get to know you bingo" sheets. Give the class time to get signatures. Go through some of them as a class.
Have the students get a new piece of paper or work on the paper they put their starter on. Explain that we will be watching Mythbusters and they are to record the experiment in the proper steps. They are to identify the observations. Then the question. Then the hypothesis, etc... When the methods are done within the episode stop the DVD and have a class discussion to make sure everyone is on the same page. Answer any questions. Restart the episode until it is finished. When it is over, have a discussion about the results. Quantitative and qualitative data.
