Modifying Cookbook Labs by Marta Toran https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs What questions do you have? Type them in by double clicking on the background. en-us 2016-02-16 04:32:22 UTC 2023-07-01 22:43:51 UTC hello@padlet.com So, should all students in the class be put into groups and each group is responsible for coming up with their own procedure to test the question at hand? All students are investigating the same question? https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462478 2016-02-17 03:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462478 Should labs always take place before the lesson or unit being taught about a specific topic? (in other words, should they do the lab and THEN learn about the topic?) https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462530 2016-02-17 03:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462530 So by "Modifying Cookbook Labs" do the authors mainly mean letting the specific class/groups/students come up with their own way to investigate the question rather than using pre-established step-by-step procedures? https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462603 2016-02-17 03:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462603 Should there be an objective listed on every lab so that the students know what they're outcome should be? Or should we leave it a mystery and the process of trial and error determine their end result? hullettene https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462738 Not always. Sometimes it is better to allow students to try to figure out what is happening based on the lab before you tell them what is happening. This way they can try to describe why a phenomenon is happening before being told what it is. This makes the lab more meaningful.]]> 2016-02-17 04:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95462738 If you don't have materials, are virtual labs okay? alwhite1994 https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519462
*Yes, this allows for case studies and alternative means of "hands on learning"

Yes! Our students are going to love technology like most young adolescents do! I am sure there are so many cool things online they would love. ]]> 2016-02-17 13:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519462 Should students do each lab themselves, or can a demo be just as effective? alwhite1994 https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519502 I think demos are good for the engage phase. The key here is to think about what you want students to get out of the lab, the level of inquiry. ]]> 2016-02-17 13:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519502 Are labs better at the beginning/middle/end of a unit? alwhite1994 https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519624 I guess it depends on whether it is a lab with inductive or deductive reasoning. 

*Could be used as discrepant event at the beginning, formative at middle, and summative at the end. Depends on the situation. ]]> 2016-02-17 13:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95519624 How to plan for potential backfires in the lab? chandlerjc94 https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95574613 Write everything down that could go wrong or at least think about it so you can be prepared, especially for safety concerns.]]> 2016-02-17 15:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95574613 How to gather more advanced materials such as chemicals, for labs? chandlerjc94 https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95575395 Science supply catalogs geared towards education, general household chemical (such as baking soda, lemon juice, etc)
Check with local colleges, businesses, etc. ]]> 2016-02-17 15:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95575395 martatoran https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95636196 2016-02-17 17:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95636196 STRATEGIES for "Uncooking" Labs martatoran https://padlet.com/martatoran/uncookinglabs/wish/95636447 -Student Roles 
-Group Focus (looking at different variables, different experiment designs, etc.)
-Teacher/ Student Round Robin
-Mixed up steps, students have to put in the right sequence
-Changing procedure into a concept map
-Data table only, they figure out the procedure (start with the answer, they come up with way to get at it)
-Have students create their own data table
-Insert "thinking questions" through out the procedure
-Provide problem statement, they come up with the rest
-Have students make predictions prior to different steps
