Students will be able to:
use information from texts and classroom discussions to
-identify different variables.
-compare observational, comparative, and manipulated variable experimentation.

The do now was to complete steps one through four of their group experimental design.

Students received home learning 3, which can be found at the top of this blog. Since you will turn in one of the pages to me, you have an extra page to keep as your own. Remember, your home learning should be written in blue or black ink or pencil.

Students reviewed the concept of variables. A variable changes in an experiment. The independent variable, or the manipulated variable is the variable that the investigator changes.

Dependent variables, or the manipulated variable, is the variable that changes due to the independent variable.

Groups planned and executed their experiment. They recorded data. All groups should write out the procedures so that another group can perform that experiment with exactly the same results!
