Day 4 of chemistry began with a discussion of the scientific method using our "agree, disagree, it depends on, and not sure" statements. As a class, we definitely had some strong opinions regarding these statements. It was also good to see students assert opinions even if it seems they were in a minority and not a majority. We also used m&m bags for data collection. Observing, generating questions and turning these questions into a testable hypothesis are the first steps of the scientific method. We will be using this method throughout the year. Next students gathered data, shared data, and will graph their data using proper methods. The color change lab was due today. Next class, the m&m lab is due. Students must have a hypothesis, data table, graph, and conclusion for the mini lab report. Please make sure units, labels, and titles exist in all the right places. On Friday, we will also be in lab. Please remember close toe shoes again! Also, please read through the lab procedures for Friday's lab so you are prepared to do the lab.
Until next time,
Mrs. E
