Starting the Year Out Right
- Level: Elementary - High School
- Topic: Scientific Method
Description:
To help students gain practice in making observations and inferences and to give students an opportunity to experience a simple inquiry activity at the very beginning of the school year. Although this activity is designed for students entering high school chemistry with some laboratory experience, it can be easily modified for most students in grades 3 through 12.
