Scientific Process

1.Problem:question SLIDE HAS LINK TO KIDSWHOTHINK.COM TO SHOW VIDEO OF “MELVIN THE MACHINE”…GETS STUDENTS THINKING AND ASKING QUESTIONS Talk about variables here (independent, dependent, and constant) 2

2. Research CLICKING ON PICTURES WILL TAKE YOU TO KIDS SEARCH ENGINES AND SOUTH HOUSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY SITE 3

3.Make a Hypothesis If I place iron and stainless steal nails in water , then the iron nails will begin to rust first. CLICKING ON THINKING CLOUD WILL TAKE YOU TO “SCIENTIFIC MINI LESSONS” ON EDUPHORIA, TO PRACRTICE WRITING GOOD HYPOTHESIS AS A WHOLE CLASS 4

4. Variables * Independent Variable: What you change on purpose in an experiment.   * Constant (Controlled) : What you keep the same in all tests. * Dependent Variable: What you measure in an experiment. SLIDE HAS KID FRIENDLY VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS VARIABLES 5
