Description
Looking for an activity to wrap your lessons on the scientific method? Want to engage students in the process of experimental design rather than drilling them with worksheets? Trying to foster student curiosity and independence?
This lab activity provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge on the scientific method by designing their own experiment to answer the investigative question: Are 'double-stuffed' cookies REALLY double-stuffed? Whether you want to reinforce or extend student knowledge, this resource provides a step-by-step lesson plan on experimental design that both students and teachers will enjoy!
The Double-Stuffed? Lab can be used for multiple grades and courses, allowing you to decrease your prep time by utilizing a single review activity for more than one class. For teachers who work with the same students over multiple grade levels, this activity easily fits into a vertical alignment in which upper-level students have a similar assignment, but create their own investigative question to design for. Some potential uses of this resource include (but at not limited to):
- Application activity for students to practice using their new knowledge
- Supplementary activity to further reinforce content knowledge
- Extension activity to tie together and bring finality to multiple lessons of a unit
With this product, you don't need to stress about whether your materials fall in line with the Next Generation Science Standards, as this activity is focused around NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. Additionally, you can avoid the difficult task of assessing student knowledge on several topics (the scientific method, experimental design, data collection, data analysis, lab report writing, and so on) in a fun and interesting way. The Double-Stuffed? Lab requires students to utilize their knowledge quickly and effectively due to the time constraints on both designing and conducting their experiment " all while having a good time collaborating with their classmates!
Finally, the unique design of the student handout has formative assessment opportunities built in, allowing you to provide feedback in a separate space from student work, creating a record of original mistakes and optimizing informal data collection in the moment.
So what are you waiting for? Let this sweet product work for you!
