This is Betsy from Classroom Caboodle. And today, I’m going to talk about putting together
a bulletin board about the scientific process.
Alright. So the scientific process is common over...across most grade levels and I’ve
created some printouts that you can purchase on Teachers Pay Teachers at my Classroom Caboodle
store there.
What we have here is that question, that guiding question for students: "How do scientists
plan and conduct investigations?"
I’ve got printouts that you can use on variables: on your changed variable, what the definition,
measured variable, and that controlled variable, the one that stays the same.
Of course, scientists always make a prediction before they get going and write a conclusion
as a follow up.
Scientists — One of those common quest standard in science that we talked about is, of course,
about systems and sub-systems, and what you see on my bulletin board is a unit on...it’s
a Foss unit on variables.
We go over lifeboats, but students today they may not be familiar with lifeboats. They’ve
seen the movie the "Titanic," but that’s about as close as they’ve gotten to a lifeboat.
So I have pictures of cruise ships and what today’s lifeboats look like, and the lifeboat
that they might have seen on the movie "Titanic."
I also go over pendulums or swingers in this unit, so here’s some real world examples
of what a pendulum or a swinger will look like in action.
I label...above my bulletin board, I keep "science" up there but I’ve changed the
unit of study that we’re working on.
So this is one of the science bulletin boards I put together for this fall. Again, look
for it on my Teachers Pay Teachers store, Classroom Caboodle.
