Activity or Assignment with Text/Links | No School | -First day back. Students will go over rules, procedures, and expectations. -Students will identify different types of scientists and their professions. -Students will draw how they view themselves as a scientist. | -Students will review a presentation on different lab safety protocols. -Students will complete a lab called “scrambled eyes”. Students will observe how hydrogen peroxide breaks down egg whites to observe how not following lab safety is dangerous. | -Students will take notes on a presentation of the scientific method. Students will explain the independent and dependent variable in an experiment. -Students will complete an independent vs dependent variable worksheet. | -Review the steps of each method along with independent and dependent variables. -Students will conduct a scientific method lab in which they will determine how many drops of water can fit on a penny. |
