In this lesson, students will list the steps of drawing a graph and determine whether a line or bar graph should be used based on the data.  They will demonstrate understanding by graphing sample data and construct, interpret, and analyze a graph from data collected.

In this lesson, students define and explain and demonstrate an understanding of the hypothesis and null hypothesis.  Then they apply knowledge of hypotheses to develop a hypothesis for a given question.

In this lesson, students will set up and maintain a legal scientific lab notebook and list the parts in order of a lab report that will be written within a legal scientific lab notebook.  They will identify all necessary components of a graph needed for a legal scientific lab notebook and explain the importance of a legalscientific lab notebook.  

In this lesson, students define sanitation, identify and explain disposal and sanitation techniques and practice proper disposal and sanitation.

In this lesson, students demonstrate appropriate observational skills, compose questions relating form to function, assess how each question could be tested, identify tractable questions when performing experiments, and frame testable questions showing evidence of observation and connections to prior knowledge.

In this lesson, students distinguish between controls and variables and work to define them.  They explain, using the hypotheses examples, where the dependent and independent variables are in each example as well as define positive and negative controls.  They also test hypotheses utilizing appropriate experimental design by identifying variables and controls.
