Science Experiment: Independent, Dependent, and Controlled Variables
Science, Basic Science, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities, Experiments
This fun science lesson is a great introduction for a science fair unit or a beginning of the year scientific method unit when you need to teach your students how to carry out a true experiment . It teaches students about independent , dependent and controlled variables using humour and real-life situations. The first page has fill-in-the blank notes about a pretend experiment I completed that had some mistakes in the design. Students should stay engaged and focused throughout the lesson component as they have to fill in the blanks. They should start to think about why controlling variables matters, and they learn the relevant vocabulary . The second page gives students a chance to start brainstorming some basic experimental design ideas on their own or in pairs. They are given three situations and need to think of independent variables they could alter, what dependent variable that would affect, and all of the other variables they would need to carefully control. At the end, there is a quick review to reinforce the relevant vocabulary. Grades to Use With : This lesson can easily work in a variety of grades in the middle years, from grades 4-8 and possibly beyond! Standards: NGSS3-5-ETS1-3 Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.

This Lab Package combines 3 labs into 1 product. These labs are very flexible and will work for any level student from English Learner - EL - to more advanced students. The Lab will take the student through the process of obtaining muscle tissue suitable for viewing under a microscope enhancing microscope usage skills and show the structure of muscle tissue. Normally done after a discussion of muscle energy and muscle contraction at the cellular level, this lab uses a small sample of stew beef to get outstanding results. This lab usually lasts from lasts from 1-2 days depending on your level of student. The Muscle Tissue Prepared Slide Lab includes a complete lab, answer key and brief administration guidelines. It will take the student through the microscopic anatomy of muscle using prepared slides of muscle tissue with a longitudinal and cross-sectional view. This lab usually lasts from lasts from 1-2 days depending on your level of student. The Vertical Jump Test-Calculating Anaerobic Power Lab is normally conducted after a discussion of muscle energy, and includes a complete lab and administration guidelines. There is also an opportunity to add graphing or data analysis to this lab at your discretion. In addition, this lab provides an opportunity to get your students out of your classroom and move around for a change of pace. The lab activities in this product can be purchased separately, but purchased together are a great value. For any teacher looking for “hands on” enrichment activities that will fully engage the student, this product is for you.
