a look into our class
2/29 Video "Science in Action How Science Works" on Youtube/Students write two questions and underline important info. (1. How does the amount of force put on a car affect the distance that the car will travel? 2. What happens to the distance a car travels when the same amount of force is being used, but the mass of the car changes?) Then use one of them to develop a lab sheet to test the question being asked. Should include hypothesis, materials, procedure, and chart to collect data.
3/1 Continue with writing a complete lab sheet and begin testing their hypothesis.
3/2 Finish with data collection and graph data. Next write four questions concerning their graph to be answered by a partner.
