Physics- September 7-11,2015

This week we will work through the scientific method, from start to finish!  Students were given toy cars, cardboard, felt, aluminum foil  as well as access to supplies available in the lab.  As teams, you decided on a "question" to investigate using these tools.  On Tuesday, you will finish up your projects and write up lab reports.  I saw lots of ramps, calculators, meter tape, and good old-fashioned ingenuity!  Vocabulary words this week are all related to the scientific method:  testable question, hypothesis, variable, independent variable, dependent variable, data, analysis, conclusion, communication.
