In class today we discussed what was needed in of preparation for this unit of inquiry's summative task which is due next week.
Students have previously learned the Scientific Method and the Inquiry Cycle which they will now need to use to conduct an experiment. As of today, students should be completing their research at home and bringing it to school so I can help them with organizing it. They have begun this by researching an experiment to shows either a chemical or physical change which they will conduct and record at home.
Rules of the Experiment:
In our ICT lesson a few weeks ago, students learned to use the "THING LINK app" to layer different types of media to an image. They will now need to use this to connect and display evidence of learning. Class time will be used to gather evidence and to discuss the types of evidence other students are using to prove each part of the central idea and lines of inquiry. This document of evidence is what will be graded and needs to be turned in by Thursday, 18th May.
I have attached a screenshot copy of the task on Google Classroom, a copy of the summative rubric and the image they will use to organize their evidence.
Hope this helps.

Rules of the Experiment:
- Students need to follow all of the steps of the scientific method and document each step.
- Observe and identify an occurrence in nature
- Create a testable question
- Create a Hypothesis to answer the testable question
- Create an experiment to test the Hypothesis
- Measure the results and Record the data
- Analyze the data and draw a conclusion that proves or disproves your hypothesis
- Students are expected to conduct more than one trial of the experiment, making one change to one variable and use a reliable measure of the results. They will then need to be able to measure the changes in each trial to compare and analyze the data.
- Students need to video tape and photograph their experiments to use as evidence.
