- Students will be able to apply their ideas to "saving Fred"
- Students will be able to describe the process taken to "save Fred" in a lab report
- I can: Define inference by understanding how it relates to our observations
- I can: Set up a Fair experiment using knowledge of Indep. and dep. events
- Powerpoint note
- I can: identify independent and dependent variables given a situation
- I can: identify if a question is testable (does it have independent and dependent variables?)
- I can: write a testable hypothesis that answers the scientist's question.
- I can: test the hypothesis in an experiment
