This is by far one of my elementary and middle school tutoring students' favorite reading handouts. You may be familiar with UNRAVEL or other reading strategies.

This is a handout/worksheet/critical thinking sheet, which practices scientific inquiry. It involves a notes portion on observations (both qualitative and quantitative) and inferences. It then moves into practice where students formulate their own examples. As well as providing visuals the students use to brainstorm observations and inferences for. My students always had a much better understanding of observation vs. inference after this. I have also included a key of possible answers.

We have found great success using this worksheet to teach the Laws of Logarithms. There is a review of the laws, common mistakes to avoid, 22 practice problems, and an answer key included. Very straight forward and great as a teaching tool, review, or you can use the problems to assess your students' understanding. This is a worksheet created by one of my tutoring partners. He gave me express permission to post it here.

This is a document with definitions for scientific method and inquiry vocabulary such as hypothesis, observation, inference, qualitative, quantitative, data, and more. It has a learning tool worksheet in the form of a vocabulary foldable as well as the definition sheet. Great way to start students off on science vocabulary!
