4. Small Group Activity
Each group will design an experiment using scientific inquiry.
Each group will choose a topic by selecting a piece of paper at random from the container.
Each group should write several questions about the topic and decide on one question to use for designing an experiment. You will not be conducting the experiment, so you are not limited by time, materials, or equipment.
Each group will share its experiment and explain how scientific inquiry was used in the experiment's design.
