Description
This worksheet introduces students to the essential methods scientists and engineers use to understand the world around them. Students will begin with an Image Analysis activity, where they observe and question a visual prompt to spark curiosity. They will then explore key vocabulary words, such as "experiments," and create visual representations of these terms. After reading a passage about scientific methods and problem-solving, students will take notes and answer comprehension questions using the POINT-EVIDENCE-EXPLANATION-LINK strategy. This activity helps students grasp how experiments and engineering design are used to test ideas, solve problems, and learn about the world, fostering both critical thinking and collaboration.
