Worked on the Rocket Car lab today, and noticed that some groups really struggled with getting their car to move. I noticed that some of you did not work very well as a group, as one person tried to troubleshoot the problem while the others sat around and didn't help. This is a concern, and will be addressed in future labs in class. I am hoping that you are seeing how the scientific method works to help us answer questions that we may have about the natural world. As we ask questions, we can hypothesize as to what we think is going on, then design experiments to test our hypotheses. At this point in the class, you should be able to pose a question, develop a hypothesis, design an experiment, perform your experiment, collect and analyze data and voice your conclusion that presents your results.
We turned in the metric conversion and graphing review assignment today, and remember, any time that you want to turn in a late assignment you must attach a hall pass to it. No pass, no credit on late work.
We will have a quiz over the scientific method on friday/monday classes, and soon will begin the ecology unit.
