Design fair test for self-planning
Curriculum Component Patterns
Description:
Students will design a fair-test experiment to test their hypothesis. Teachers may provide guidance and rubrics to facilitate students’ design process.
Typical sequence of tasks in this CC pattern:
1. Group discussion to differentiate dependent/independent/control variables and design instrument to measure the variables.
2. Students write a plan of scientific inquiry.
3. Students reflect on the alignment between hypothesis and inquiry methods, as well as other practical issues of the experiment design.
4. Students revise and finalize the plan.
