Get Those Marbles Rolling!

 Last week students built marbles runs while experimenting with various heights, lengths of tubes and marbles masses.  They worked as a team to design, test and build their runs.  I was so impressed by their perseverance, teamwork and compromising skills!  This week we start some formal experiments, data collection and lab reports!

Lab Report Time!

 After completing our 3rd marble roll experiment, our little scientists worked together to complete their final (independent) lab report. Lab reports contain:             * The Question you are curious about           *  A Hypothesis (What do you predict will happen and why?)           * Materials list and Set Up            * Detailed procedure           *  Data Table           * Claim (What you can you conclude?)           * Reasoning (Why you think you got the results you did?)            * Future Study (What did this experiment make you wonder about?)
