Unit 1: Introduction to Scientific Methods Lesson 13: Sharing Results Objectives: After completing the lesson, students will
be able to: Key Question: "What did we learn about dry ice?" Overview: This
activity provides the students with closure for the dry ice block
of lessons. It gives each pair of students the opportunity to
discuss their results and compare what they have observed with
other students. While there is no single way to do this in a
manner that is interesting for all students, several approaches
are outlined in the Dry Ice GEMS guide (pp. 128-129).
Whatever approach is chosen,it is important that students learn
the importance of communicating the results of their scientific
investigations with other scientists. The validity of scientific
investigation depends on reproducibility of results. New ideas
are only accepted to the extent that scientists anywhere in the
world can reproduce the results of the investigations that led
to those new ideas. Materials: Procedure: see pp. 128-129 Assessment: verbal presentations and/or class discussion. OUSD Science Content Standards (State
of California Science Content Standards): References: Lesson 1: Laboratory Safety and Classroom Management Lesson 2: Observation and Inference Lesson 3: Introduction to Observation Lesson 4: Comparing H2O to CO2 Lesson 7: Marge's Systematic Observation Lesson 10: Investigable Questions Lesson 11: Planning an Investigation Lesson 12: Conducting Investigations Lesson 15: Layering Salt Solutions Lesson 16: Density in Everyday Life Lesson 17: Observing Convection Lesson 18: Understanding Convection Lesson 20: Intro to Measurement |
