Unit 1: Investigation and Experimentation

 

 Collaborative Wiki

  

  

 

 

This unit focuses on Investigation and Experimentation.  Our ultimate focus in this unit is "How to create the perfect science fair project."  Through activities, teacher demonstrations, and labs, we will be working on how to write a GOOD hypothesis, writing a GOOD set of procedures, creating a well designed experiment, collecting quantitative data, graphing the quantitative data, analyzing the data, and writing a good conclusion. Although you do not have a mandatory science fair project, we will have a culminating project, which will be a group science fair project, the rubber band trajectory project.

 

8th Grade Science Standards Covered:

Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and    addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

  1. Plan and conduct a scientific investigation to test a hypothesis.
  2. Evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of data.
  3. Distinguish between variable and controlled parameters in a test.
  4. Construct appropriate graphs from data and develop quantitative statements about the relationships between variables.

 

Wiki Requirements:

 

1. Front Page:

  • A title
  • A couple of pictures from Unit 1 Activities
  • A description of the Unit 1 Wiki - DO NOT just copy and paste what I have written above.
  • The name of everyone in your group - Only your first name
  • Standards covered in this Unit - You can just copy and paste the standards from this page into your wiki

 

2. Side Bar: 

  • Copy and Paste the ENTIRE Side Bar from Mr. Ozeni's Unit 1 Wiki, which includes the "Table of Contents" and the "Quick Links" into your group's side bar
  • Remember, every page in your Wiki should be one click away.

 

3. Assignments/Labs:

  • Each day, we will be working on an assignment that covers all the topics from Unit 1.  These assignments will be sent via Google Docs. 
  • Your group will work on the Google Docs collaboratively.  Once you feel as though the Assignment is completely finished, publish the document in Google Docs, get the url, and link it to the side bar.
  • Make sure to link this activity into the Side Bar so Mr. Ozeni and other students can access the assignment.
