I begin the school year in my 5th grade science classes with a strong focus on Scientific Process and Inquiry Skills. Students learn so much from “hands-on” activities and I try to give them every opportunity to perform labs throughout the entire year. The first 20,activities which I have put together help the kids understand what skills they will need to use during the labs and also what I expect,from them. I believe these “hands-on” activities allow the students to be active learners and help develop their love of science.
I start out with Rules and Expectations. We set up our Notebooks, and then we head right into the following skills and processes:
Observation, Formulating Hypothesis, Predicting, Study of Variables, Estimating, Measuring, Classifying, Interpreting Data, Making,Graphs, Making Models, Communicating, Collecting Data, Inferring, Defining Operationally and finally a Performance Event.
Please remember that as you move from one skill to another, recognize and reinforce that the previously taught skills continue to,be used. The students will use a combination of several of these skills as they work in labs. The skills work together, not independently.
Lesson Objective
To become familiar with and practice the Scientific Process and Inquiry Skills.
Grade Level – 3rd – 6th grade
