Today we were looking at what it takes to make a strong hypothesis. We looked at just what a hypothesis was and the purpose of using this when doing science. Our big idea was thinking like a scientist.
So from this work we began to develop a criteria for writing a strong, useful scientific hypothesis.
Criteria:
Predict what you think is going to happen.
Start with an "I think or I predict" statement.
Use a high level of scientific vocabulary.
We then used a simple scientific experiment to practice or apply this developing knowledge.
Discussion points were: PH Levels, acid and alkaline, chemical reactions.
As you can see from the images, a lot of fun was to be had on a rainy Hamilton day in Room 4.
