Description
This bellwork bundle covers seven key topics for middle and high school biology: the nature of science; observations, inferences, hypotheses, and predictions; experimental design; quantitative and qualitative data; data analysis; and graphing. Available in multiple formats, these editable formative assessments are perfect for use throughout your scientific method unit!
Who Is This Product For?
This set of bellringers is best suited for standard-track high school biology students or advanced middle school biology students. It allows students to apply their learnings on the scientific method and allows instructors to assess student understanding in order to effectively close knowledge gaps.
What Is Included in This Product?
This product includes printable bellwork activities focused on the scientific method. While this set could be utilized for other sciences, the application activities in each check for understanding (CFU) are focused on primarily biological contexts.
Major topics and key words addressed in these handouts include:
o The nature of science, the scientific method, observation, inference, hypothesis, prediction
o Controlled experiment, bias, variable
o Independent variable, dependent variable, controlled variables
o Experimental groups, control groups
o Qualitative data, quantitative data
o Mean, median, mode, outlier
o Line graph, bar graph, pie chart
o Title, label, x axis, y axis, scale
Included in Your Purchase:
• 14 bellwork assignments and corresponding answer keys in PDF, Word (editable), and Google Docs (editable) formats
