Warm-Up IN THE BOX AT THE TOP OF YOUR WORKSHEET What is the difference between an observation and an inference? What is our class Big Goal? What is 1 positive reward and 1 negative consequence that you could receive in this class for your behavior (good or bad)?

OBJECTIVE Scientists will be able to identify independent and dependent variables in order to construct an accurate hypothesis

Friday’s ET Why is it important to write detailed, clear procedures for scientific experiments? Why is it important to set goals? What’s our BIG GOAL in this class? Why is that goal important to YOU? Write a set of procedures for explaining how binders should be organized. Also include where and how they are kept.

1) How can you identify an independent variable in the experiment? It is what the experiment is measuring. It is what the experimenter is changing. It is what the experimenter compares the results to. It is the question the experimenter is asking.   2) A student hypothesized that if students studied for a longer amount of time, then the student will get better grades. To test this hypothesis, the student should design an experiment with what independent variable? The number of students. The amount of time the students slept The student’s quiz scores. The class the students were taking. 3) Dr. Ingram developed a new drug to help lower blood pressure. He gave different doses (.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg) to different patients. Dr. Ingram measured the patient’s blood pressure after taking the drug. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? The type of drug the patients get. The amount of drug the patients get. How many pills the patient gets. The patient’s blood pressure. 1) How can you identify an independent variable in the experiment? It is what the experiment is measuring.

AGENDA Warm Up (5) Hard Candy Lab (15) Variables Notes (10) Variables Practice (5) Lima Beans.. (15) Exit Ticket (5) Shout Outs (5) Diagnostic Rational (5)

Question: What is the best hard candy? STEP 1 | ASK A QUESTION Question: What is the best hard candy?

STEP 2 | RESEARCH YOUR QUESTION What type of hard candy do you usually purchase? What type of hard candy is the cheapest? How long does the hard candy last?

STEP 3 | CREATE A HYPOTHESIS Hypothesis: If I do not chew on this Jolly Rancher and only consume it with my mouth closed then it will take more than 5 minutes to dissolve.

STEP 4 | DESIGN AND CONDUCT AN EXPERIMENT Materials: + + + +

Procedures: Remove the piece of hard candy from the package. Hold up your piece of candy. When I say go, put the candy in your mouth. As soon as the candy has been completely dissolved look up at the timer. Record this time on your data table. Share your data with your partner to find the average.

Lets Apply this through a LAB! Our first lab…you’re “trying out” right now…can you handle labs? Read Directions and listen to instructions thoroughly THINK before you act. Goofing off = book work

Current Event Article about saltwater intrusion

Seed Germination Lab STEP 1: QUESTION Based on the previous article, what is a question that we could ask about saltwater intrusion?
