Students will: 1. Learn about the Scientific Method 2. Learn how to make a hypothesis based on observations 3. Complete an experiment from start to finish 4. Reflect on what they have learned, using technology.

1. Necessary materials to complete a short in-class experiment a. Great ideas for experiments can be found on the Discovery Education website. 2. Computer lab, computers, laptops or iPads

1. Students get together in groups of 3 or 4. 2. Teacher reads the steps of the experiment to the class. a. Pause to make sure the students are clear about each step. 3. After reading the steps aloud, the groups should discuss the general idea of the experiment. They should be able to answer the following questions before the experiment begins. a. What is the experiment about? b. What data is unknown? c. What data is already known? d. How long will it take before a conclusion is drawn? e. What are the possible outcomes?

1. Students create a Voki that states their hypothesis about the outcome of the experiment, based on the information given about the experiment. Each Voki should explain why they made that hypothesis. 2. Students should complete the experiment in class or as homework. 3. After students complete the experiment and analyze the results, they can share their Voki hypotheses to discover which Voki's were most accurate in their hypothesis.
