Description
Scientific Writing Activity: Can your students write a clear and concise laboratory procedure? In this simple activity, students will build a unique and unusual structure. Student will then write instructions for how to build the structure. Students will swap sets of instructions and attempt to build the structures of other students.
Why is this important?
A key component of the scientific method is the recording and publishing of results. In his/her publication, a scientist must give the procedural steps used to perform the experiment. Other scientists will repeat this work to verify the results. In this activity, students will quickly realize the importance of writing a clear laboratory procedure.
What materials and supplies are needed?
- Sets of building materials that can be connected or stacked into unique structures. Examples: Jenga blocks, Lego pieces, tinker toys, molecular model set, pipe cleaners, rubber bands, gum drops, toothpicks … the possibilities are endless!
- Notebook paper
- Pencil
- Screen to work behind, such as file folder
This activity can be used with students in grades 6 through 12. By changing up the "building materials" that are used the activity is easily adaptable to students of different grade levels and ability levels.
