Scientific Method Lab-
Will was given vocabulary words to add to his growing list: Force, Accuracy, Precision, Average, Mean, and Range. After a review of the scientific method, we conducted an experiment. Will was instructed to create a page in his science notebook with the title : meter stick lab. We had a discussion about eye-hand coordination, before I asked him if he thought there would be a difference in his reaction time while sitting or standing. We discussed and decided this would be a good experiment. He wrote the question, his hypothesis, and the methods we figured could be used to test his hypothesis. Will then tested his reaction time while standing and sitting, and recorded his results. He then determined the average, range, and precision, before coming to a conclusion. Finally we discussed how the process could be changed or modified to make the test more accurate.
