Lesson 2 Learning Objectives:
- Students will have an understanding of what a hypothesis is overall
- Students will be able to use “if… then… because..” statements
- Students will be able to look at data and find the independent vs dependent variables.
- Students will be able to form hypotheses
Lesson 3 Learning Objectives:
- Students will have a basic understanding of what density is
- Students will learn how density relates to an item sinking or floating
- Students will be able to form a hypothesis about what items they think will sink vs. float
Lesson 4 Learning Objectives:
- Students will be able to revise original hypotheses with peers in order to create a solid prediction for the following experiment
- Students will be able to visually show their hypotheses through the Scratch program where they will demonstrate their initial understanding of different objects’ density.
- Students will be able to create an experiment that visually demonstrates the relationship of certain objects to their buoyancy in relation to their density.
Lesson 5 Learning Objectives:
- Students will be able to conduct an experiment that follows the hypothesis and scratch program they made
- Students will be able to analyze experimental results
- Students will be able to explain what they learned while conducting this experiment
