5. Learning Goal and Bell Ringer(p11) Monday 8/27
How can the scientific method help scientist?
Learning Goal (multiple this week)
I will be able to differentiate the parts of the scientific method.
I will be able to differentiate theory and law.
I will be able to explain the difference between independent and dependent variables.
I will be able to preform an experiment using the scientific method.
Benchmark
SC.912.N.1.1 Define a problem based in Environmental Science, and complete the scientific method to reach your own conclusion.
SC.912.N.3.4 Recognize that theories do not become laws, nor do laws become theories; theories are well supported explanations and laws are well supported descriptions.

PL plan (What do you have left to complete on PL Plan, What is your rating for test preparation? 1-5) on the board. Students need to be seated in their assigned seat for attendance. Students know that if they move after attendance they need to be working and quiet in their seats. For the entire class period students are to be working on their Personalized Learning Plan (PL Plan). The students are aware that they need to have this finished by Friday. They can be working on the experiment write up but no student can work on their experiment or take a test, they can pick up data collection tomorrow. They should be focusing their attention on cover page, pink paper, green paper, yellow paper (they are laid out for you to show them) for class.
