My students were given a homework assignment to use the scientific method to find out how long it would take to freeze a small amount of water. Their scores have been recorded. If they would like to improve their score they may do the assignment again. The handouts are in my room if they need another one. Here is a reminder of the scientific method I want them to follow for this assignment:
Question: How long will it take to freeze a small amount of water. (You can choose the amount used.)
Hypothesis: In a sentence, guess how long it will take.
Experiment: Plan and carry out your experiment. Check your water every 30 minutes and write down what you observe.
Results: Make a graph out of your results. Here is a simple graph you can make: Write the times you checked your water along the left side. Write water, icy and frozen along the bottom of your graph. Check off or make a dot for what you observed each time.
Conclusion: Was your hypothesis right or wrong? In one or two sentences tell me if your hypothesis was right or wrong based on your results.
