Whirligig You are to design an experiment and collect data that addresses the problem and tests your hypothesis. Problem: To make a whirligig that will drop 2 meters in 1.5 seconds. TrialTime (sec) Initial Alteration Alteration
Wednesday September 3, 2014 First Five: What type or types of graphs fit your data best? Why? Learning Target: I can analyze data for a single variable experiment. Today’s Activities: ● Graphing Notes ● Analyzing a Scientific Investigation Exit Question: What was the purpose of the whirligig experiment?
Thursday September 4, 2014 First Five: Name 3 things that make airplane’s fly. Learning Target: I can identify basic SI units of mass, volume, length, temperature and time. Today’s Activities: ● Measurement Foldable ● Start Airplane project Exit Question: Why do we need to use SI units in science?
Friday September 5, 2014 First Five: What is the importance of writing a hypothesis? Learning Target: I can design a single-variable experiment that includes a testable question, clearly identified variables, and a hypothesis. Today’s Activities: ● Airplane Investigation: Plan Build and start lab report Exit Ticket: How could taking inaccurate measurements affect your airplane build? Affect a real airplane?
