5. Designing a Persuasive Commercial
In this task students will design an experiment and make a persuasive commercial promoting their design. Students will review their classmates commercials and choose the most persuasive one to be performed in the lab.
REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks that were
previously not conceivable.
You will now design an experiment choosing another variable that you think will increase radish seed growth, for example, apple juice, sugar water, etc.
Write up your idea as a thirty second persuasive commercial selling your idea.
Post to the Blackboard Discussion Radish Seed Lab.
Watch at least three classmates commercials and chose the one that you think is the most persuasive and worth trying in class.
The one with the most votes will be carried out in class.
