4 CORNERS!

For each question, place yourself in one of the 4 corners.

Once there, discuss the step with others in your corner.

I can analyze the results from my first lab experiment of 8th grade.

This means I will carry out my first lab procedure.

This means I will record my data.

This means I will write a conclusion to represent my findings.

Collect Data

- Carry out experiment (follow procedure carefully)

- Record data in a data table (glued into lab notebook)

- Create a graph to visually represent your data

Conclusion

- Restate the hypothesis

- Make a claim (true, false, inconclusive)

- Use key points of data from your experiment to support and explain your claim

Homework

No homework!
