7. Table of Contents 7. Gallery Walk p. 14
Gallery Walk Objectives:
For this assignment you will perform a “Gallery Walk”. Each poster in the Gallery contains a question about The Scientific Method and The Engineering Design Process.
Number your paper 1-8 skipping lines between each number.
You and your group members must walk from poster to poster answering each question.
All group members must answer all questions, even if you have to make an educated guess.
You will write your answers to the questions in your scientist notebook.
If you are confused about a topic at any station, you may use Post-It notes to write down your questions, and stick them to the posters in the Gallery. I will review these and we will discuss them tomorrow at the beginning of class.
You will have 2 minute at each poster. Use your time wisely and give 100%! You may switch when the timer sounds

A scientist investigates the effect of carbon dioxide on plant height. The scientist grows plants in several closed containers. All the plants receive the same amounts of water and light, but the air in each container has a different `amount of carbon dioxide.
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A the amount of carbon dioxide in each container
B the number of plants in each container
C the amount of water provided to the plants
D the height of each plant after a period of time

11. Need to Know
The cars are described as “totally unrealistic”, but why is this research important? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

12. Today, let’s try to answer…
Am I able to select tools and procedures to conduct a complex experiment?
What types of procedures and tools are needed to test a prototype?

Selma hypothesizes that the mass of a sample of water will not change if it is frozen. She conducts an experiment to test her hypothesis. Her experimental steps are as follows: 1. Fill a beaker with 500 mL of water Place the beaker in the freezer. 4. After the water freezes, place the beaker on the balance and measure its mass. Which of the following steps is missing from Selma's experiment?
Set a timer for 2 hours.
Run the water through a filter to make sure there are no impurities in it.
Use a thermometer to measure the water's temperature.
Place the beaker on the balance and measure its mass.

21. Table of Contents 7. Engineering Design Process p. 17
With your Elbow Partner or group, you are going to predict what occurs in each step of the Engineering Design Process.
After predictions, we will share our predictions and take additional notes.
