--If I find them off task, on a game website, or disturbing others, they will lose computer privileges for the rest of the week, and sign the clipboard.
We have the computer lab Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.--
Their homework tonight is to figure out if their hypothesis is something they are able to experiment. Make a list of things they need, and an outline of the procedure, basically brainstorm their idea one step further. Make sure they record each website they get information from in their science journal.
Some questions to ask your student this evening...
Are all the necessary materials accessible to them?
Will their hypothesis be something they can experiment?
Is it an experiment they are able to perform multiple times to predict accuracy?
Will it cost too much?
Is it a grade-level appropriate project?
Some projects are neat to do, but the students need to form a "problem"/hypothesis from the experiment. They need to form a reason as to why they are completing the project.
We will go over most these questions one-on-one in class, but I also want them to dig deeper with you so they are able to refine their project.
Hypothesis is due 1/11
Introduction and Materials due 1/14
Procedure is due 1/15
They can show me anything at any point before its due! Working ahead is strongly encouraged.
Any questions shoot me an email
