Creativity in Mind

This is really two labs in one. In the first part, students hypothesize which of three liquids will float on top of each other. I purposely give all the groups different amounts of each of the liquids (to set up part two). They get practice with both the scientific method and with graphing. In the second part, we curate each others' data into three data tables in order to make a triple line graph (with key) to view what mass and volume data look like when graphed. More advanced students can cal

I have started doing weekly readings with vocabulary because our assessments have changed to ones in which decoding from informational text is an imperative skill. This is my reading and vocabulary for graphing in science. Although graphing is a skill, it is important for students to know the 'language' of graphing so construction is a smooth process. I will be uploading a fun lab-based graphing project where students collect real-life data to graph very soon. :)
