A thermometer

Today’s Plan

1) Discuss objective(s), bell work, and birthdays.

2) View and discuss notes about tools and procedures

3) Continue working on your science projects.Reminders: You must test/measure something at least 3 times Assign someone in your group to write down/record every single

thing you do during your experiment (Be very detailed…include who, what, where, when, why, and how) Write down your question (Step 2), and your hypothesis (Step 3) Take pictures and/or record video as you do your experiments

Copy this into your agenda!
