Rubber Band Lab

Yesterday, we collected data to determine, "Does distance a rubber band is stretched affect its distance it flies when launched?" Today we graphed our data, and analyzed the results. Homework for Wednesday is for students to write their conclusion.

The format for the conclusion PARAGRAPH should be as follows:
  • State original hypothesis.
  • State if original hypothesis was correct or incorrect.
  • Provide data that proves hypothesis was right or wrong.
  • If correct, restate hypothesis in other words. If incorrect tell how your thinking has changed (you could do this by stating the correct answer as a hypothesis like it would be at the beginning.)

Tomorrow we will start with an introduction to a unit on water by watching a portion of the BBC video Planet Earth: Fresh Water.
