Observation lab- inquiry

Created by

Sarah's Science and More Store

Many students think an observation is what they can see, but that is an incomplete definition. This set of lab stations will have students understanding the true meaning of the term- using all 5 senses. Be sure to have already covered lab safety prior to this activity. Extension: Also discuss the difference between an inference and an observation. For instance, "that egg sounds like it has pennies in it" is not an observation. They can say it sounds metallic (have a list of adjectives on th

Candy Corn Experiment

Created by

Connecting the Dots Learning

This is a small experiment that can be done for Halloween fun! All you need is water, oil, vinegar, jars (or even small dixie cups), and candy corn! The lab sheet is made for 3-6 graders but you can just have lower level students make their Hypotheses and findings in their journals or extra sheet of paper. They can even draw pictures of what they observe instead of writing. I set up the writing portion with indentations so it is easy for the students to recognize how many paragraphs needed

Mealworm Observation Journaling

This is really easy and fun format for students to keep track of how their mealworm changes and what happens. When I do the unit, I do not have students do this everyday. Students check on their mealworms to see if they need anything, but only make a journal observation every 3 days of so.
