Science Experiment at home for - Friday, November 15
We have been learning about renewable and non-renewable resources and have learnt about how crude oil is formed. In class, we have gone through the steps of designing a scientific experiment and did our own classroom experiment with oil and water. For homework, I have given students a specific question and have asked students to come up with a hypothesis, and test their predictions. Students are to fill out the handout they received in class and hand it in this Friday, November 15.
Questions I asked the class:
1) What would happen if you mixed oil and water together and then froze them.
2) What would happen if you mixed oil and water together and then adding liquid detergent?
Below our the 6 steps to designing an experiment:
