Scientific Method Experimental Design Activity Learn How to Design a Fair Test
This scientific method lab activity is designed to reinforce the importance of keeping ONE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE in an experiment. The goal is for students to begin to think critically about experimental design and to grasp the importance of holding all conditions constant except the one variable being tested. Students are directed to identify variables and constants, make predictions, summarize results, and analyze experimental design for a very simple "drops on a penny" lab. There are three p
