This week in my science classroom, we are discussing the scientific method. The prompt photo I am going to use is from the cover of the North Carolina Wildlife magazine. The photo shows a bird that appears to have hair instead of feathers. My question to the students is: What is it and why?
We will talk about how to research and gather information about a topic. I have located several online resources we will use to explore birds.
Our next lesson will build on this concept and add how we conduct an experiment to test for answers to questions. Our students will explore how to use the scientific method to build a better paper airplane.
I will assess their learning with having them complete a concept make on the steps of the scientific method we use in the paper airplane activity.
