WOW! What a fantastic day we had in Science class today! Students began to realize just how difficult Scientists have it when it comes to writing out the steps to their experiments. Today, students worked in groups on a lab titled "Can you Write a Clear and Concise Lab Procedure". In groups, students used a set of materials to build a unique object. They were required to write out the exact steps it took to build that object. Once complete, each group traded procedures with another group to see if the other group could build the same exact object based off the procedures that were written. The lab worked out really great and students quickly realized that maybe they didn't write the most precise directions after all! Afterwards, students were asked to reflect and do an analysis of what happened and what they could have done differently when it came to writing the steps down. I am so proud of my students for working so hard on this activity! You all did a FABULOUS job!

This lab was awesome. I sure thought we had the directions pretty clear but the next group didn't seem to understand at all what we described. It was harder than I thought.
