Scientific Method 1: Reaction Time Study

Three activities are lined up to give physicists experience with reaction and hang times. They catch a falling meter stick by sight and by sound. They also jump and use the distance to calculate hang time. In a final practice problem,...

Clearly intended for the first unit your physics class at the beginning of the school year, this six page document serves as a review. It covers foundational concepts such as the scientific method, precision and accuracy, significant...

Here is a chance for emerging scientists to practice newly gained skills in scientific inquiry. They carry out the steps of the scientific method to determine what substances a snail is attracted to. Everything that you need for this...

Challenges young scientists to determine specific parts of the scientific method, given different scenarios. They answer questions based on gathered data and experimental processes to decide which groups are the control or experimental,...

Six color posters are included, one for each step of the scientific method. Each step in the process is named, and three points to remember or questions to ask are also included to stimulate thinking.

Chemists use cognition to compute rate of production and rate of consumption. They balance dissociation equations. They rewrite equations in ionic form. Six problems to solve make this a helpful bite-sized homework assignment during your...

Walk your scientists through this organized presentation on the scientific method. Each step of the process is explained on its own slide using the example of the question, "Does temperature affect the rate of cricket chirps?"...

Mr. Mole and Mr. Matchmaker entertain and educate your chemists about how quickly or slowly reactants are used up in a chemical reaction. Thorough explanations of the influencing factors are offered, and demonstrations are done. After...

Making predictions and identifying possible outcomes are skills that all science pupils should possess. In this video, Mia and Sam discuss the chances of puppies being male or female as an example. The animation is adorable, and will...

Here is a five-day module in which high school chemists determine what other materials can serve as catalysts for producing ethanol. Another objective of the lessons is to introduce reaction rate and activation energy. Learners also use...
