As we do some simple fun science experiments, we will learn the process of writing a good lab report. *Please note that I prefer students to keep their video open while in my lab classroom and keep chatroom conversation to a minimum. No knowledge of this method is required prior to the class. I do suggest having a pencil and paper handy for note-taking. Plus, print the Word document we will use to fill in for experiments that will be presented during class. The scientific method will play...
Students will learn what is an independent variable, dependent variable and control in an experiment. They will be able to write an effective lab report upon completion of the course.

I strive at having my students inquire and be explicit (for their grade level) on how to present them. Even though the labs are simple, there is a thought process needed to write a great lab report.

Density Lab: 2 Boiled Eggs, 2 Tall Drinking Glass, Box of Salt, Water Class 4 - Lab: Aerobic or Anaerobic (DANGEROUS-must have parental supervision) Students will view an experiment and then write a report that can be submitted for review. (optional if they would like teacher feedback) Materials you will need a cookie sheet that you bake cookies on made out of aluminum or an aluminum pie pan, steel tongs, a long lighter that you light up a fire with but not a cigarette lighter because it's too short, and fine steel wool. Mom must be around to supervise you to do this. If you cannot get the supplies, don't worry. I will demonstrate it.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Optional: If students prefer to do the lab along with the teachers, parents may need to assist in getting the supplies ready for their child. The fourth day is DANGEROUS since we will be using fire. Parental supervision is important. This is optional and not mandatory. I will gladly demonstrate.
