Science is Creative
Think-WRITE-Pair Share
How would you design an experiment to test if ants count their steps?
There is no right or wrong way… be creative
This clip shows one way…it is not the only way
•See if you can identify their independent (what they changed) and dependent (what they measured/counted)
Can Ants Count
• Independent:____________________• Dependent: _____________________• Data supports that__________________________
• What we should ask of the researchers-what was their sample size-how many times did they run trials-is the data statistically significant
Your turn: Brine Shrimp Lab• Using the Lab Report template form design a question to answer a question
• All groups will get -Brine Shrimp-Slides-Tape-Microscope-Artifical sea water• You may ask for more materials as long as you include quantities• Experiment is not approved until your independent and dependent are approved
On a group whiteboard answer
• 1) In what ways can we be safe in a lab?
• 2) What is 1 thing you wear in a lab?
