Testable Vs. Non testable questions
This week students had lots of fun learning about good vs. not so good scientific questions. As the due date fast approaches, grades 2-5 are thinking about their favorite topics and good scientific questions for their experiments.
At Home Challenge
Investigate the following; Do mega Stuf Oreo's have double the frosting as regular Oreos? or Does the amount of sleep affect attention span? Parents and students can use different methods/procedures, use various tools to investigate this question.
1) Identify the problem
2) make a prediction/ hypothesis
3) come up with a set of procedures for the experiment
4) do the experiment
5) record your findings in a chart/graph/ sketch
6) explain your findings in words ( writing)
7) tell us your findings in your conclusion. Do you accept or reject your hypothesis.
Feel free to email me photo's of your experiments.
