Students will learn:

Independent Variables- what changes in the experiment.

Dependent Variable- What is measured or observed 

Controlled- What remains the same 

Model:

Independent Variable - The independent variable in our experiment is drinking and 8oz glass of water before bed.

Dependent Variable- The dependent variable in our experiment is counting the number of times a person wakes up a night.

Controlled Variable- The controlled variable will be the amount of water being consumed a night.

Evidence of Learning- Students will write, edit and type purpose, variables and hypothesis for experiments. 

Wednesday, February 4, 2015 - F- Day 

Objectives : As result of the lesson students will...

Work in cooperative groups to complete hypothesis for experiment.

Write hypothesis as an If, then statement.

Learning Overview: Students will discuss with the students the importance of a hypothesis in an experiment. Students will write the hypothesis as an if then statement.  

Example:  If a person drinks an 8oz glass of water before bed, then they will not wake up as much as  a person who does not consume water. 

Evidence of Learning:  Students will write their hypothesis as an if , then statement.
