Course Expectations: The students will gain a full understanding of each aspect of a lab report: purpose, procedure, hypothesis, observation and conclusion. In class, we will learn how to research a topic, form a hypothesis, test, record data and use critical analysis to form conclusions that reflect scientific concepts. Through class discussion, hands-on experiments, and in class lab reports, students will be inspired and prepared for higher level science classes.
Prerequisites: Students should be confident readers and writers to be able to fill in lab worksheets in class.
Workload: Light. We will cover one topic every 2 weeks. Students will need to complete a lab report in class after each experiment is completed.
