LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by answering the question on the handout.
15min< Students watch video to collect temperature data and observations. Students concurrently graph the data and answer questions between data collection times. (Video is played at double speed to save time.)
5min Class discusses findings and observations on temperature and phase changes.
10min Students create add labels to identify the phases and transitions at each point in the chart.
10min Students add illustrations of the particles for each phases and transition.
5min Clean up. Wrap up.
Lab Skills: Making Measuring Tools

LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by writing the two CERs
5min Teacher provides instructions on how to create a measuring tool. (Take a sheet of paper fold twice lengthwise. Use the folds as guiding lines and cut into 4 long strips. Glue the ends of the four strips to make one long strip.)
10-15min Students create a custom measuring tool. (Students make marks using their pinkies width to create a ruler, by making markings down the long strip of paper and adding numbers at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.)
10min Students use measuring tool to measure various items. Document with photos and record info into slideshow. Turn in via Goggle Classroom.
5min Go through notebooks and make sure everything is complete.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.

Sample Data for Scientific Testing Day 2
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
5min Scientific Test 1: Students write the alphabet in cursive for 1 minute and repeat again with non-dominant hand.
10min> Data is entered into table for a t-test, p-value is interpreted to determine if the results are significantly different (0.05 or less) or probably not different (over 0.05).
5min Scientific Test 2: Students pair up and toss a rubber ball 10 times back and forth keeping track how many times they caught the ball. Students repeat while closing one eye the entire time.
10min> Data is entered into table for a t-test, p-value is interpreted to determine if the results are significantly different (0.05 or less) or probably not different (over 0.05).
5min Students write a summary of the results and turn in completed spreadsheet.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
Scientific Testing: Notes
CW: Completed Scientific Testing Notes Handout (page 7 of notebook).
DN: For two groups to be considered different what must be the p-value?
