UNIT TITLE: SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
DAILY FOCUS: IDENTIFYING & DEFINING THE COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
EXPERIMENT
SOL(s): LS1 (A-J)
OBJECTIVES: The student will:
A. identify and define each of the (all 6)
"COMPONENTS OF A GOOD EXPERIMENT".
B. read several scenarios depicting students
conducting (doing) experiments, then identify
each (all 6) of the "COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
EXPERIMENT", and suggest ways to improve
(correct) the experiment.
C. identify each of the "COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
EXPERIMENT" for the problem:
HOW DOES CHANGING THE TYPE OF WATER - TAP
WATER, DISTILLED WATER, RAIN WATER &
SALT WATER - AFFECT IT'S pH?
D. read several scenarios, then write a
hypothesis for each.
E. read several scenarios, then draw an
experimental design diagran for each.
CLASS ASSIGNMENT:
ACTIVITY #1: The students will copy and discuss the
following notes on the "COMPONENTS OF A
GOOD EXPERIMENT (ALL 6):
ACTIVITE #2: The students will complete a worksheet in
which they will identify the "COMPONENTS
OF A GOOD EXPERIMENT (ALL 6)" found in 5
scenarios depicting students conducting
experiments, and suggest ways to improve
or correct the experiments. The first three
will be done orally as a class and the last
two will be done as independently practice
(by your self).
ACTIVITY #3: The students will work in their cooperative
learning teams to identify the "COMPONENTS
OF A GOOD EXPERIMENT (all 6)" and conduct
(do) the experiment for the problem:
HOW DOES CHANGING THE TYPE OF WATER - TAP
WATER, DISTILLED WATER, RAIN WATER, &
SALT WATER - AFFECT IT'S pH?
ACTIVITY #4: The students will work in their cooperative
learning teams to write a hypothesis for
each of our 5 scenarios.
ACTIVITY #5: The students will work in their
cooperative learning teams to draw an
experimental design diagram for each of
our 5 scenarios.
HOMEWORK: FRIDAY-MONDAY, 10/21-23/02
A. Study all notes on the "COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
EXPERIMENT". You must know each of the 6 components
by name and the definition of each. YOUR PARENT OR
GUARDIAN MUST ASK YOU QUESTIONS AFTER YOU HAVE
STUDIED AND MASTERED YOUR NOTES.YOUR TEST IS ON
MONDAY & TUESDAY !!!!
B. You and your parent or guardian MUST SIGN &
COMPLETE your STUDY LETTER, but only after you have
STUDIED and MASTERED all of these notes.
***** REMEMBER YOU WILL TAKE A TEST ON THESE
NOTES ON MONDAY & TUESDAY, 10/21-23/02 !!!!
BE PREPARED TO DO YOUR BEST (100 A+) !!!!
C. Any hypotheses and/or experimental designs that
are not completed in class are to be completed at
home.
D. Buy a bag of either baby or giant lima bean seeds
that will be used wednesday to do an experiment.
E. DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR FRESH WATER pH KIT &
TEXTBOOK EVERYDAY. THEY ARE NEEDED TO COMPLETE
YOUR pH EXPERIMENT. (ACTIVITY #3)
