Demo Science Experiment!

Goal: to demonstrate any simple science experiment to the class explaining the concept of ‘variable.’

You will:

·         Need a partner or a group of three – NO EXCEPTIONS

·         Research any simple experiment on the computers

·         Make sure you have all the materials (we can buy some for you if necessary and inexpensive)

·         Perform the experiment exactly 3 times changing one item (this is your ‘variable’)

·         Clearly explain the term ‘variable’ in your experiment while you present

·         Formally demonstrate it to your classmates

·         State the question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations, and conclusions to the best of your ability

·         Don't need a written component – verbal only. 

·         Be ready to present on Thursday, October 8, 2015.

Hint: keep it a simple experiment like the first experiment we did in class with the small glass, water, and an index card.
