But it's just a game! Learners play a game to learn basic concepts of statistical hypothesis testing. After using the digital-game module, pupils develop their own statistical hypotheses and test them.

Scholars collect data from heating sand and water before forming testable hypotheses about why sand heats up faster. Afterward, they develop and run experiments to test their hypotheses.

Communicating results is just as important as getting results! Learners create a poster to highlight their findings in the experiment conducted in the previous lesson in a 30-part series. The resource provides specific criteria and...

Challenge your classes to complete an experiment from beginning to end. Learners make their own hypotheses, collect and analyze their own data, and make their own conclusions. They are on their way to becoming statisticians! 

Students attempt to understand seasonal variation by viewing images of the energy received by the earth. In this weather activity, students view images from NASA of the influx of energy from the sun and make predictions about resulting...

Here is a fabulous set of teacher's notes that will make your next hands-on gravity and force lab fun and interesting. These notes provide you with three activities that allow children to make and test hypothesis regarding force,...

What is it that makes Mentos candy and cola such an explosive combination? Find out through scientific inquiry and experimentation. This presentation walks learners through the scientific process and allows them to speculate whether it...

Pupils pose their hypothesis, they ready their instruments, then record their observations. This is the science of sound instructional activity. They move through 5 stations, each focused on a different element of aspect of sound. Check...

First graders use senses to examine objective or events, then gather and interpret data with instruments. They design invention to support or refute hypothesis, then generate, record, and organize data. They improve environmental...

What is a scientific investigation? What are the various parts of an experiment? This worksheet provides a basic review of most key terms: scientific method, manipulated variable, responding variable, hypothesis, controlled variable,...

Students investigate a scientific phenomena. In this scientific investigation lesson plan, students hypothesize why water rises around a lit candle sitting in a pie tin of water as it is covered. They reflect on questions raised during...

In this experimental design activity, students are given a full comprehensive outline for designing an experiment. There are checklists included for each section of the experiment for students to use as a guide for properly completing an...

In this experimental design activity, students are given two experimental scenarios to read. They answer questions about each including finding the hypothesis, the independent and dependent variables and controls. They design a graph for...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the percentage of sugar in various types of gum. They weigh the gum after chewing it to determine the amount of mass lost from each piece of gum, analyze the data, and create a graph of the...

Students explore energy as it relates to body function. Data about the personal physical activity of students is gathered and entered into a database which is utilized to test hypotheses made.

Students examine the Michigan state quarter and discuss the effects glaciers have on land formation. They perform an investigate using ice cubes and sand to show how glaciers have carved the land.

If the steps that you follow for the scientific method are as follows, this presentation can be useful: observation, question, hypothesis, method, result. Unfortunately, not every scientist or teacher uses the same terminology, The...

In this investigations worksheet, students complete a hypothesis, variable manipulation, and more for sleeping habits, rolling wheels on a skate board, sports practice, and more.

Students investigate quality products. In this Physical Science lesson plan, students will test three different types of caulking. The students are looking for the caulk with the best adhesion after two days of curing.

Students observe a scientific experiment and pose a hypothesis. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions about the combination of alcohol in water and how it will affect a floating ice cube.

In this experimental design worksheet, learners use four questions to brainstorm about an experiment. The questions include the materials, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design worksheet, students brainstorm on an experiment to do with mice. They identify the materials available, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design worksheet, students brainstorm about a project to do on the topic of their choice. They answer four questions about the materials available, the hypothesis of their experiment and the independent and dependent...

In this experimental design worksheet, students answer four questions about an experiment on dirt. They include the materials available for the experiment, the hypothesis, and the independent and dependent variables.
