-Evaluate a scientific investigation using evidence of scientific thinking and problem solving.
-Differentiate between replication and repetition and evaluate the use and need for each in a scientific investigation.

SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/DI
-drops on a penny lab. Use the scientific method to investigate how the difference of the sides of the penny affects the number of drops that can fit.
Exit Strategy - summarize your notes.
