This week I want you to reflect on what you have learned over the past few weeks in our discussions about the scientific method. I want you to take 10 minutes over the next few days to sit and think about what we have discussed and what you have learned during this time. I am not interested in what we did, I want you to focus on what you learned! This reflection should be several sentences long as you will be reflecting for 10 minutes! I look forward to reading your posts.
Please remember to put your first name, last initial and period number somewhere in your post!
We have learned about a lot of things so far like... First, how to make educated observations. Second, how to make and format a hypothesis. Third, we learned how to make and new type of data table. Fourth, we learned how to infer which is making a statement based off of your observations. Lastly, we learned 21st century skills what they are and how we can use them in everyday life. CameronB
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks science has been a blast. learning of scientific words like describe, inference, and observation. These things have brought me closer to the aspect of learning science. We also focused on scientific method and the important of it in science, seeing if your inference was refuted or supported. We also focused on the IV and DV and how something can seem to be connected but is not at all. All of the amazing things we have learned recently have made me think deeper into science itself.
ReplyDeleteSo far we have learned that to do an experiment you need 2 variables independent and dependent. The dependent variable is the variables you change to see how the results are effected. The dependent variable is the thing that you measure and find whether the change of the independent variable effected anything. For example if you are doing and experiment on which wood smokes more dead wood or living wood. The independent variable is the status of the wood dead or alive. The dependent variable wold be how much smoke is produced or which one produces more smoke. Then there is a constant something you wold keep the same thought the experiment and make it fair. So in this case it wold be the type of wood Burch wood. If I use dead Burch wood and living and living pine the amount of smoke would be really different and the experiment wouldn't be fair.
ReplyDeleteOver the last couple of weeks we have learned a lot of things from variables and constants to the scientific method.I remember when we would make test of things such as which spinner would spin the longest if one spinner is round and the other has a point on the bottom,or which helicopter would fly the longest a butter knife shaped propeller or a regular propeller.And for the scientific method we would do the hypothesis carousel where we would take a cardboard airplane and fly it up and down the stairs to see which would go fast but before we would make a hypothesis and predict which one would go faster.We would also learn about the 21st century skills and how they would help us grow into adults over the next couple of years.And that is just some of the of stuff I remember over the last couple of weeks.

This week I learned a lot about the scientific method. The first thing Learned is how to form the right hypothesis. We learned how to form an experiment. We also learned about the parts of the experiment such as the constants and the levels of the Iv. I learned all these things this week and in a fun way hope these will help us in later life.

ReplyDeleteOver the past few weeks, I’ve learned how to make educated observations, hypothesis, inferences, and explanations. I have increased my learning into better understanding to those things. My educated observations, hypothesis, inferences and explanations have gotten easier to do. Another thing I’ve learned, is the independent variable, dependent variable, constants, and level of the experiment. I’ve learned those in math, but as I kept studying it here, it has gotten way easier for me to complete and actually give you a definition of what they mean. Those things I’ve learned have made me smarter in other subjects, and I work hard to keep understanding what it is I need from them to achieve in here. The scientific method is a great start for learning to do something successful for your experiment. It’s a great way for me to learn, and I have learned how to work better in this class.

This week in science has been my favorite week yet. I first learned how to write a hypothesis I like writing them like this, if the class stays quiet than I will be able to work at a faster speed than if it is loud because if it loud I can't concentrate but when it is silent, it is just me and the computer. I was also taught that silence is golden when you need it. I have heard this saying a lot but have never really understood the meaning of it. I have learned that when it is quiet you can sit with your thoughts and really think. I have also learned about the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is what you are changing on purpose and the dependent variable is what you are measuring. One other thing I learned is something called constants. Constants are the things that can affect your experiment so you need to keep it the same for both levels of the IV. The levels of IV is the different type of IV's or type that you are measuring. The last thing that I learned was how important your classmates and teachers are. Last year I tried to do all by myself but now that I know I have the help of my classmates and teachers I have a feeling this year will be a fantastic year in science.

What I have learned so far about the scientific method is observations, hypothesis IV and DV. I have had better help understanding the steps to write a complete hypothesis and how so observe things before I jump right into the assignment/ project. As for IV (independent Variable) and the DV (dependent Variable) I have learned new things for IV and DV. For example I never knew that IV had to have levels and I didn't know that DV mean 'to measure'!
ReplyDeleteIn these last couple of days I have learned many things. But the things that have stood out are the scientific method. I have learned new things that i didn't know before and stuff that already knew. Like I knew what a hypothesis was but i didn't know how to make a proper one. I also didn't know that there were levels of IV but I knew what a IV is and how to find it. Constance I knew vary little about but i knew that they existed. I didn't even know that 21st century were until you made us do a poster on them. I hope that I will use these skills in the future. I have had a lot of fun in this class so far and cant wait to learn more.

This year we have learned what it takes to make a good experiment, making us better scientists in some ways, like if a question needs answering, a good experiment would work on answering it. I think that the most important thing we have learned this year is how to make a good observation and explain things and make inferences. Another good thing would be IV and DV for as many thing you can think of in an experiment.
ReplyDeleteWhat i learned is how to figure out independent variable, dependent variable, and how to right and explain hypothesis's actually like to write and think about a hypothesis and what will happen if i do this or that in an experiment. And the reason that i like do do independent and dependent variable is because i like to know what to change and what to keep the same. And that is what i have learned in the last few weeks and so far i have a good year in science.
ReplyDeleteThese past couple weeks have been great in science. I have learned so much I and I am starting to like science even though I didn't before. These weeks we have been learning about how to create a hypothesis, IV, DV, and how to set up an experiment. I already knew these things but I have never gone this in depth into it. I am taking an interest in science and maybe want to start going deeper into it on my own. I know this year in science is going to be a great one.
ReplyDeleteThe past few weeks we have been learning about the scientific method. Now I know how to correctly right a hypothesis. We have been learning about variables and I've been getting better at doing these things. We also learn about variables in math. We do a lot of similar things in math and science. Like graphs and tables and variables. I use to get confused with variables but since I do it in both math and science, it made it faster and easier for me to learn them.Now i know them like the back of my hand. Learning these things helped me in both math and science.
ReplyDeleteThe things we have learned in the past weeks have been very precise. Like the IV, DV and constants of a good experiment. Another thing that is important that we have learned in class would be observations, how to explain things observed and then make inferences off of that information. Another thing would be how to make a good experiment and hypothesis. We need to know how to do experiments because if a question is to be answered, and you can't find the answer, just do the experiment and find out for yourself. That is my reflection of this year.
ReplyDeleteScience has been so fun to learn about. So far we've learned how to make educated observations, inferences and other stuff. I also learned what independent variable, dependent variable, levels of an independent variable and constants. For me it was easier to remember and learn about constants. This has helped me for the past few weeks I now get that more. I now understand way better than when I started. We also learned about that in math but I learned better here in science with experiments and fun stuff. I think I understand it better here because I'm a visual learner. I learned ways here for me to also learn even if I'm a visual learner or that I use the right side of my brain. I hope we get to learn more interesting stuff as the year goes by. Kimberly F period 3

ReplyDeleteIn science so far, I have learned quite a bit about the scientific method. Some of the more spotlighted things that I have learned are constants (something that has to stay the same in the experiment to make it fair). Independent variables (something that changes during the experiment). And dependent variables ( the thing that you record during the experiment). We have learned about other things too however, some of these include... levels of the IV, a hypothesis that is based off of data that you already know, and how to set up an experiment as well. I have learned about most of these things before, but learning them in science, and using them to make experiments not only makes them more interesting but also easier to remember. We also learned a lot about making a table. Which is very helpful when it comes time to organise the data that you have just learned. Also we learned quite a bit about making graphs to organise our data as well. I think that I have learned a lot for how long we have been in this class, and I am glad that I got to learn most of it. Science this year has been really fun and interesting and I’m looking forward to learning more about it.

So far in order, we have basically learned about the scientific method since day 1 with the rattleback experiment, while sometimes covering other subjects. We were learning about observation and inference in an experiment, but after that we were learning about 21st Century Skills. After 21st Century Skills, we learned about how to correctly format hypothesis. Directly after learning about formatting hypothesis we went to making data tables. So we have been learning about the scientific method, with various subjects in between.
ReplyDeleteAlex L
Over the past few weeks I have learned a lot of new stuff about the scientific method. The first thing that I learned was what levels of IV meant. Levels of IV or Independent Variable are the things that you are changing on purpose. For example, say you were trying to figure out if rock, or hip hop music made you do your homework faster. The levels of IV in this situation is classical music, rock music, and hip hop music. I have also learned about how to correctly right a hypothesis. Using the data that I used before this is my hypothesis is If the music changes from rock then hip hop then it will take her less time to do her homework because hip hop music will help her concentrate on what she is doing and not what is going on around her. Over the last couple of weeks we have done some experiments that focus on what we are learning. I think the experiments are really fun and they really help with focusing on either your hypothesis or the levels of IV. Overall science has been really fun and I have learned a lot about more about the scientific method.
ReplyDeleteAva K
What I have learned so far in the past weeks of school is, the scientific method was the one that stuck out most to me because I haven't learned on how to write a proper hypothesis. I also have learned a lost about the dependent variable and the independent variable that I have never knew before. Like on how to find it because i have never really learned how to find the independent variable and the dependent variable. I hope to learn more greater stuff in the future.
ReplyDeleteBrendan f
Over the past few weeks, all of us have learned some things about the Scientific Method. And most of them are important. There is a hypotheses. The hypotheses is what we think will happen in an experiment. For example: I think that the cat will jump higher than the dog because of the shape and size of their feet. That’s what I think will happen, but I’m unsure of it. Then there are the Dependent and Independent Variables. A Dependent Variable is what we are measuring in the experiment. We are measuring how high the cat and dog will jump. And then the Independent Variable is what we can change in the experiment. We can change the type of cat sense most cats are the same size. There is also a Constant. A constant is what you have to keep the same in an experiment. We have to keep the dog the same because dogs are different shapes and sizes. We also HAVE TO do the experiment. When we test it out, the cat will obviously jump higher because the feet are more round, and the dogs are more in an oval shape. After doing the experiment, you must make a conclusion. A conclusion is what you found out during the experiment, and rather your hypotheses was supported or refuted. During this, I try to use keywords to show I’m making a conclusion such as: therefore, overall, in conclusion, and all and all. For example: Overall, the cat jumped higher than the dog because the cats feet were more round than the dogs feet were more oval like. My hypotheses was supported and the experiment was challenging because I couldn't get the animals to jump without treats. Elizabeth J
ReplyDeleteScience has been really fun lately. I've learned a lot of stuff too. The first thing I learned was about how to make a correct hypothesis and other stuff. It has helped me a lot to do activities with the idea of what we were suppose to learn. I also learned what Independent variable, Dependent variable, constants and levels of an independent variable. We also learned that in math but I learned it better here because of the activities. I now know a lot more than when the year began. I now understand better everything and I learned how to learn better even if I'm a visual learner or that I use the right side of my brain. I hope we get to learn more interesting stuff in Science as the year goes by. Kimberly F. period 3
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks in science we have learned about many things like 2st century skills and the scientific method. In the 21 century skills we learned about the things we can use in life and that can help us inthe word and help others in the world. From collaborating with others in meeting or invention to get technology to it’s maximum potential. we have also learned about the scientific method. We have covered on hypothesis if there supported or refuted and inferences which is an educated guess. We have done many more thing in science this year those were just a few examples of the much busy year behind us and the soon to be busy year ahead of us.
ReplyDeleteOver the past few weeks I've learned how to make educated observations. Also quite a bit about setting up a table and how to use the table. The last I can remember is making a hypothesis. All these three help me a lot because it helps me understand what we talk about and how it's taught or used. Educated observation helped me because it made me think beyond of what I need to think. Plus I can observe anything. Making a data table helped me organize the IV and DV. It helps me because it teaches me all the data and what it means. It also shows me what is being changed and what stays the same and the measurement. Hypothesis also helped me because it taught me to make sort of a guess on my data on an experiment. The hypothesis helps me understand what i’m looking for in the experiment. My hypothesis what I think is gonna happen next. I can’t wait what we are gonna learn next , I’m so stoked!!
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks I learned with hypothesis it does not matter if you a right or wrong and you learn from your mistakes. Also I learned that questions help us dig deeper in the experiment and can help with your hypothesis. In the experimenting you need to make sure everything need to be the same or constant because if even just the tiniest thing changes then in the experiment then it could ruin the whole thing then you have to redo it.

Within the past couple of weeks, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve specifically learned about the scientific method, how to set up an experiment, and 21st century skills. All of these things are very important in life. What I learned about the scientific method is mostly about hypotheses. I learned how to correctly format a hypothesis (if and then formats) and I also learned the correct vocabulary words to use when saying whether or not your hypothesis is right or wrong (supported or refuted). Another thing that I learned about the scientific method is that you have to have to variables, an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is the variable that you change on purpose, and the dependent variable is the variable that you’re measuring. What I learned about setting up an experiment was mostly how to correctly create a data table. It made a lot of sense once I figured it out, and it was very logical. Finally, I learned that you need every single one of the 21st century skills to be successful in life. I learned what they are, how to use them, and what it means to use them correctly. Throughout these past few weeks, I’ve learned a lot more than I expected to learn about science and what science has to do with life

Over the past few weeks in science we have been learning a lot. I have learned more in depth about many topics. We have especially been learning about the different parts of the scientific method, 21st century skills and how to set up an experiment. In the first couple of weeks we learned about observations and inferences and also how to write a science summary. These skills were going to be important for the rest of the year. In about the third week we started to learned about IV and DV and levels of IV. We also learned about setting up and experiment. We practiced this by doing homework and worksheets in class about it. We then extended our learning further in the scientific method, we started to talk about constants and how to write a good hypothesis in the form of If...Then...Because. Around last week, we did a short lesson on 21st century skills and how they applied to our future and lives. We continued the scientific method then too. This week we learned about data tables and STUPYX. Clearly our first part of the year in science has been very educational and I am enjoying learning about all of this new stuff.

So far in the weeks that our 3rd period class has been here we have learned many things but to start of I will have to talk about the subject that we started out with, the scientific method, Although this was just a little overview of it, we had already learned this last year. So yea, that was pretty much the first thing that we did. After that we went on to start doing things like day starters and IV and DV this was about the Independent variables and the dependent variables of things. Lastly who could forget the very funny type of music word puzzles that we have done HA HA! So even though we still have quite a long way to go I have really grown to like these guys and gals.

My favorite is all the experiments. We have done everything from rattlebacks to enigma boxes. We have also done some like, where is my pine cone, tracktastic, mystery boxes and more! I hope to learn many new things and hopefully more experiments this year!

Over these past few weeks in the 7th period 'v learned a lot about the 21st century skills and the scientific method. I over viewed how to set up a hypothesis and, break it up. Again I looked over that I need to use variables and Constance. I also learned how to identify the parts of the scientific method from videos and written handouts. Like when we did the test for the music and word search. We lessened to rock, classic and dance, after each of those we did the experiment. For 21st century skills I learned that they are a very important part of the curriculum for this year. Some of the ones we use daily.

I have learned so many things this year in Science, and it is only the ¾ quarter mark. We first started out by going over the basics and reviewing the scientific method, then we moved into more of the advanced stuff. I have learned how to figure out my data without having a lot of information on the subject. I have also learned a lot each afternoon that we go into science, when we are doing the daystarter. From learning about the redwoods, to looking for the slug which lives in the bottom of a rino. The daystarters are interesting and very inspirational when we learn about the secret lives of scientists. The secret lives of scientists are inspiring because they show me stories about scientists who use to be learning what we do now, but are currently working as a chemical engineer or physicist. I am proud of myself this year for taking honors science, I feel like it will give me a bigger challenge, rather than taking general science. Some other things I learned, was learning about 21st century skills. These skills are important because without these skills, we would have no self direction, sense of creativity, or not be willing or want to have the power of invention. I am so happy Mr.Andrews is teaching us 21st century skills this year because it will help us in the future. This year, I have also learned about hypothesis. I learned the two compatible forms of a hypothesis, and both of the forms are very organizing to me. Data tables are another subject I have learned. Data tables are important because they help us visualize the date we receive. Another subject we learned this year was the IV and DV. These were important because they help us make tables and graphs. I look forward to learning much more this year, and am excited to do it!

I have learned many new things about the scientific method. I have learned how to call the data supported or refuted. I also learned many many new ideas I have never known. The day starters are probably the subject that I have mostly learned in this class. The kinds of experiments the myth busters do to the 10% species of animals we have discovered. The second most subject I have improved on is doing experiments in the classroom that sometimes shocks me. The last few weeks we have done I have improved a lot on and am looking forward to learn more.

During the time we learned about the scientific method, I learned many helpful things. Before this unit, I wasn’t sure about how to tell the difference between independent and dependent variables, and I didn’t even know what the levels of an independent variables was. I could properly write a hypothesis for an experiment. I learned what the scientific method is, why we use it, what steps are in it, and what the definition of the steps are. This unit helped me fully understand how to conduct a science experiment. The scientific method unit is extremely important, and everyone needs to learn it at one point in their life. The scientific method helped me in science. I learned many things about the scientific method, and all of those steps are very important to me.

In the weeks that i have come to like my class, i have grown up in science. You have pushed me to be a better student, scientist, and a better person. First we started out with the scientific method, then we weaved our way through directions for Day Starters, then through the IV's & the DV's. then we did a very clever and fun eperiment on how lonh it would take you to do the puzzels while playing different types of music. Now here we are already finishing up our Common Assments. Life Goes On

Within the past few weeks we have been talking and working a lot on the scientific method. I have learned so much I didn't know before, but I have also learned a few things we covered last year but we went in more depth with the topic that it made more sense to me. I learned about what a hypothesis is, how to make a good hypothesis and also the format your hypothesis should be in. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on your knowledge and what you are working on. You can make a good hypothesis by making the best possible guess with the information you already have about the experiment. And an example of a good hypothesis in correct format would be, If the type of coffee cup changes from metal to paper then the metal cup is going to have a higher temperature because the paper cup is thinner. We also talked about the I V and D V which is short for independent variable and dependent variable. The Independent variable is the part of the experiment that you are changing on purpose. The dependent variable is the part of the experiment that changes based on the levels of IV. For my example of the hypothesis the independent variable would be the type of coffee cup and my dependent variable would be the temperature of the coffee in each cup. Another key point we talked about was constants and why we need to have constants. A constant is something in an experiment that stays the same so your experiment is fair. The reason we need a constant is because without constants our data would be incorrect. Once again going back to the example of my coffee cup experiment a few constants you would need to have is how much coffee you pour into each cup, the temperature of the coffee to begin with, and how much time goes by after you pour the coffee before you measure the temperature. This is some of what I have learned over the past couple of weeks in our unit of The Scientific Method.

During the past couple of weeks we have learned alot about the scientific method.We have learned about independent variables and dependent variables. We have also been learning about how to properly format a hypothesis. The occasional ewws have really kept me on my toes. I have really look forward to learning more throughout this next year. Jahsun L per. 7
ReplyDeleteSo far what I learned was the IV and the DV and was has kept Constance in the science class by knowing what we Change and what has to stay the same and the levels of the IV. You will really need to know these skills later in the future so then you know what to change and what to leave the same in your experiment.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned these past few weeks was about the IV and the DV which was what you needed to stay the same and what needed to change and the levels of the IV. We need these skills to be more successful when we do experiments in the future of science.
ReplyDeleteWhat i learn is how to find dependent variable and the independent variable.
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks we have learned about a number of different things some of these include, How to write a well made paragraph out of an analyzed story, How to hypotheses about an article/story.But recently we have been learning about how to perform a good experiment to get good data for future use. Some of the things you would need for this are, an Independent variable, a dependent variable, levels of independent variable and constants. we have also learned how to make educated observations. Another important thing we’ve learned is 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, invention, self direction, and last but not least information literacy. Overall we have learned many new things I hope things stay this way the whole year.
ReplyDeleteIn the past few weeks in science I have learned about hypothesis and last year we barley got to talk about Independent Variable, Dependent Variable , levels of iv and constants. Now I know a lot about them. We did do the scientific method though.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot of century skills too, they will be important in the future. Now I know what kind of learner I am and what side of the brain I use. I now am able to make better observations. I hope I learn a lot of new things in science and I cant wait!
I learned a lot over the weekend. For example what I just learned about the 21st century skills. It also shows how I can set up a experiment and how things we can use in 21st century skills. I also learned about hypothesis. The hypothesis is when you write your own prediction on a experiment. It does not matter if your hypothesis is right or wrong its just your thinking on whats going to happen in a experiment.
ReplyDeleteWithin the last few weeks of science in 8th period. We have mainly learned about 21st century skills and the scientific method with little other facts here and there. I have learned how to observe and make educated guesses using 21st century skills. I have also studied collaboration which is when two people work together to accomplish a task. I found examples of real life examples of collaboration in which were; school projects, clubs and jobs. With the scientific method, I have learned about the IV, DV, levels of IV and Constants. I learned the IV is the variable that stays the same throughout the experiment. I learned the DV is the variable that changes throughout the experiment and you can't control it. The levels of IV are the two different things in your experiment, and the constant is something very important that you make sure you keep the same to do your experiment correctly. I have learned a lot over these last few weeks and I can't wait to learn more!
ReplyDeleteWe have been learning about what we have learned last year. And after we did the review and we went on to the IV and DV. The IV is independent variables and it is the thing that changes. And the DV is what you measure. And the experiments we have done with IV and DV. We have used the IV and DV with the word search with music playing. The music was Rock, Dance and Classical. And then the marble and the plain. I hope we can do more fun things like the word search and the music playing.

In 8th period science with Mr. Andrews, we've discussed many topics. There are many things I just recently learned! Here are the topics I learned so far in science. The first topic that I learned more of was, on the scientific method. For example, learning neat ways to remember the independent variable, dependent variable, constants, and also the levels of the iv. I remembered how to learn some things from the scientific method by using, "I Vill change this!" for the independent variable. To add to that, I also learned how to use the if, then, and because statement to organize your hypothesis. I also learned how to observe things and determine what they can be used for or what they might be. For example, the rattlebacks. For the rattlebacks you had to make observations on what you would think the rattlebacks were used for. Lastly, I learned about 21st century skills and what they are and how people who were born in the 21st century could change our world. So far I've really loved learning all about these topics in my 8th period science class!

so far I have learned a lot of things but the subject I loved the most is C is for Cookie because it was really fun and entertaining sense I got to do something that is fun.
ReplyDeleteI also learned about how to use the (IV) and the (DV) a lot better then I use to.
I think C is for Cookie is important because you get to have fun at the same time as you are learning with out even thinking about it.
This made you not want to leave the class and to be one of the kids who are trying the cookies in the test.
This what I have learned this week in 8th period.
ReplyDeleteWhat have we learned so far? Well in order to do this correctly, I’m probably going to have to do it in separate sections of what we learned, because I’m not very good at putting my thoughts in one paragraph. So lets start with this week, and with JA Finance park. I learned, that sometimes it’s very hard to finance your money, and very hard to earn it. I also earned a new respect for my parents, because I did the same thing that they do, but only for a day. They do it all the time! And it also helped me with my percentage skills and how to stay organised. But now onto the other week, where we learned about variables. The dependant variable is the data that we are measuring, such as the distance a ball is thrown. The Independent Variable, is the variable that we are using to get results in our D.V. This could be the type of food you ate before you threw the ball. We also learned about the levels of Iv, such as the food, one level could be junk the other, fruit. And in this mixed up data table, there always has to be a constant. In this experiment, the constant is the type of ball, the same person, the same measurer and so on. This is what we have learned.

So far I have learned a lot about the scientific method like the IV, DV, levels of IV, constants, data, data tables, stupyx, and the hypothesis. first I learned the IV is the variable that isn't affected by anything. Also the DV is the variable affected by the IV so it's dependent on the IV. I learned that the levels of IV are the types of IV in the experiment. For example lets say the IV was type of dog then there were 3 levels of IV Golden Retriever, Black Lab, Bloodhound, those are the levels of IV. The constants are the things that stay the same throughout the whole entire experiment. The data is the results from the experiment and if there is more than one trial than you would have to find the average for a graph or table. Data tables are the tables that show the data and can be better to use than graphs in some instances. Stupyx is an algorithm that explains how to make a good graph. S means scale, T means title, U means units, Y means y axis, and X means x axis. Finally I learned about hypothesis, a hypothesis is not just a educated guess it's a well formatted educated guess that explains what you think will happen before you conduct the experiment. It has to have the IV, DV, and the levels of IV. I am Wesley Poole and I have learned a lot about the scientific method.
ReplyDeleteI have learned so much about the scientific method. I know i learned this last year but this year i kind of got a better understanding of it. Like for example last year i couldn't understand the independent variable and the dependent. but this year it explain it self to my more. i know the independent variable is the variable that changes on purpose and the dependent is the one that stays the same. I have also learned how to start my hypothesis. I feel really conformable with how Mr,Andrews is teaching me.

These few weeks we started to learn the scientific method. Although we learned it last year we got more in depth with the subject.We also started doing day starters. We learned information I didn't know. It is a good learning experience. Than we learned more about IV and DV even through we learned that last year too it was a good refresher. We did many experiments with IV and DV like the planes we tested. Another example was the music puzzle! I learned that it's harder than it looks to listen to music and find words. These few weeks I have learned a lot and I'm hoping that I'm going to learn even more throughout the year.

These past few weeks,I have learned about many things.I learned how to comprehend by just listening (I'm a visual learner).I have also learned about going back and checking my work and making sure it has everything from that lesson.Independent and dependent variables haven't always made sense to me.I think that using these so much in class has helped me with understanding them.Hopefully,I can learn much more things to help me in not only science,but in learning as well.
DeleteSo far in science this year, I have learned a lot! I really liked learning so many different things in the daystarter, but that's not exactly what we talk about in class. We have talked about the scientific method and 21st century skills. I have learned how to compare the different IVs and DVs and worked on making tables and graphs with those in science and math along with constants and levels of IVs. While talking about 21st century skills, I learned and did a project about critical thinking which is basically analyzing patterns, relationships, and evidence. It is also about solving problems and drawing conclusion. We have been getting more in depth in a lot of topic which has been interesting! Therefore, I have learned a lot this year!

Last year we learned about the scientific method but I believe that this year I got a better understanding of the real meaning. We also did alot of daystarters that i love. Its the highlight of my day because i love learning new things and it fun to see what some scientists are like. We also learned about the IV and the DV. I only learned about those things last year in math but never in science. Instead of using them or graphs or tables we use it for expierments. The last thing that i really liked was that we had an awsome common assesment. I likes it because i got to have my own opinion and had something fun to write about. Over all that is what we have learned this year.
ReplyDeleteThis year we have done a lot of things so far. By far my favorite thing is daystarters. I always look forward to it because I love learning new things. It is also interesting to see what some scientists are like and there secret life. We have also learned about the scientific method. I learned about this last year but i got way more background information this year. One more thing we did was have a common assessment. I like this one because I get to have an opinion and I also get to right about something fun. This year is going to fun and i can't wait to get to see what's coming!

The last few weeks, we have learned a lot in science. We learned the scientific method, which will help us get As on science projects and experiments. We learned more about IVs, DVs, and hypothesis'. We also learned that not everything is what it seems, as we saw with the magic boxes. We learned more about sciences that we didn't think even existed, like science that revolves around beetles. We've also learned that we can all be scientists, because scientists are not just some crazy old white guy that works on evil projects. We learned a lot these past couple of weeks, and I hope to learn a lot more! - Jonah Knight

ReplyDeleteWhat we have learned over the last few weeks was the scientific method and it is about how we learned about the ball and cups also plains. With the ball and we shot it up and saw how high it would go and the plastic went higher because the plastic is lighter and the plastic ball shot high. With the plain we saw how far it would go. The one that we threw harder went higher because of the force. We also learned about what is in a hippos but and it was a type of leach. We also learned about the food and we had to write about each of our food and the other people would have to try to guess what our food was.

In science I learned about IV DV and constants. IV is the main object being used in the experiment. DV is the number that is being counted. A constant is something that has to stay the same. The levels of IV is also something we learned and they are what the different types of the object are. I look forward to learning more with Mr.Andrews
ReplyDeleteIn these last few weeks, we have learned a bunch! Like Ellie D. said, we already knew what the scientific method was, but now we know what it MEANS, how we can use it, and why it is important. I learned what a proper hypothesis form is, I had a refresher on what S.T.U.P.Y.X. is, and I learned how to use a constant. And, the daystarters were a big change. I learned so much from those videos. You helped us learn what explaining, describing, and listing things are. They also helped us learn what the scientific method was. We could see how the scientists in 'The secret lives of Scientists' could have used the scientific method. We saw in some videos that an experiment would go on, and we could see what variables were in there. You even had us find what was missing in the scientific method in some of them. And not only were the videos educational, but they were fun, too! I have learned a lot from these past weeks, and I hope I keep that up. But, you have to stay the same good teacher that you are.

So far over the past few weeks in 7th period science I have learned a ton. I have learn what exactly independent variable, levels of independent variable, dependent variable, and constants mean. I have learned how to build a table and how to use the table. Also a graph using stupyx and how to use it in a scientific way. The note taking in class has improved my knowledge of the scientific method overall. The daystarters are fun because they are videos that teach you something new every day. the daystarters will teach us all about science in all different ways. The EEW’s are also fun because instead of having this huge test we have a couple of short tests which is easier for the students and the teacher. For the students because it is shorter and for the teacher because they don’t have to grade long huge tests. I have also learned how to make educated guesses, hypothesis, inferences, and explanations. The method of if,and,because for hypothesis are very helpful.
ReplyDeleteOver these couple of weeks I learned a lot about scientific method. I learned about IV and DV I got better at it and learned the meanings. IV is the variable that changes and DV is the variable that stays the same. I have learned a lot over the videos and the day starters. I've leaned a lot of things over these weeks and some of the things that I learned this year I got better then in last year. I hope to learn more things over the year.

Over the past few weeks, i’ve learned how to make observations and inferences. I’ve also learned all about Independent Variables, Dependent Variables, and 21st Century Skills. While we were doing the 21st Century Skills project, I learned about Information Literacy. Information Literacy is a very helpful 21st Century Skill. I also learned all about how to keep the Independent Variable Constant.
ReplyDeleteSo far in seventh grade science, I believe that I have learned quite a bit about the scientific method. I have learned how to correctly write a hypothesis (I even learned that there was a correct format, because I had never done it that way before). A new aspect introduced to me this year was how to label the results of your experiment by saying that it is either supported (correct) or refuted (incorrect). I was educated a little bit more on I.V. (what you change in an experiment), or Independent Variable, and D.V. (what you measure in an experiment), or Dependent Variable, with some practice in it and identifying them through the labs we’ve had and the worksheets and homework. I had never heard of the “Levels of I.V.,” which are the different varieties of the Independent Variable in an experiment. It was an ultimately interesting period of time practicing with each thing. Additionally, I have learned how to correctly set up a data table (making sure that I need to include things like average, range, and where to put the I.V. and D.V. and whatnot).

I've learned so much these past few weeks. I've learned what IV, DV and the Constants means. IV is the one thing that you change in your problem, DV is what you measure and Constant is what stays the same. Last year in 6th grade I had a problem in science but I seem to understand it more. I also have been working on what hypotheses are. It’s pretty simple, hypotheses is what your own prediction is in your own words. There is no right or wrong it is what you think. We have done some really fun experiences in science that I have really enjoyed. Like the word search we did with music the rattle backs. I am really enjoying science this year. It is one of my top classes.

So far in science we have learned many things that involve the scientific method. We have learned about the IV, DV, levels of IV, and constants. Although we learned about the scientific method last year we added on a lot to it this year. In the scientific method we learned about how to write a hypothesis. All this time I have not been using the proper format to make a hypothesis. We also learned how to inference and observe in experiment. Lastly, a big thing that we have learned in science is 21st century skills. The skill I had to research was information literacy. I never knew that these skills were so important for us to learn until this year. I am loving science this year and can’t wait to learn more.

These weeks that we have been in school I mainly learned about the scientific method. I learned about the levels of iv and dv. We learned how to make hypothesis and stupyx really helped me understand more. We learned also what side of brain do we use and how do we learn better and the 21st century skills. I really hope to learn more because I really love science.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Andrews,
ReplyDeleteDuring the past weeks we have been learning the scientific method more in depth than the previous years. I mainly learned that there are templates for hypothesis. These templates interest me because I never used them before, normally I just state the prediction and use evidence from my research to support it. Another thing I learned in this subject is that the independent variable doesn't mean the things you are testing, but what you are changing;the things you are testing part is levels of independent variables. After going through these past few weeks I find myself more confident about the scientific method because reviews are always great, even small ones! I hope this comment is suffice and I hope you a good year.

So far this year in science, I have learned a lot about IV and DV. I liked learning about this because we got to test experiments and find the different variables . We learned how to do these things by testing them and learning this also helped with making data tables. We learned how to make a data table using STUPYX. I think that learning this was great because it not only helps us in science, but in math. In this class, we also learned about making a hypothesis and determining if it is supported or refuted. Not only did we learn about IV, DV, and data tables, and hypotheses, but we also learned about 21st century skills. We learned what each skill is and means. I think this subject is very important because it prepares us for our future. I am so glad we got the chance to learn about such important subjecst this year and I cannot wait to learn more!
ReplyDeleteBella F.
For the last few weeks we've been learning about the procedures of the scientific method. 1.Identify the variables and a constant 2.State your hypothesis 3.Test out the experiment 4.State if your hypothesis was supported or refuted based on the data you collected. I also learned a bunch of vocab words like independent variable, dependent variable, constant, inference, describe, and observation. Independent variable is the variable that changes on purpose. Dependent variable is the variable that only changes if the IV does. A constant is something that you need to keep the same for the entire experiment. An inference is your prediction based on evidence. An observation is an educated guess based on what you notice.
ReplyDelete~Renzo F Per7
We have a learned a lot in a few weeks about the scientific method. Over the past years we have learned the scientific method but this year Mr. Andrews taught us with more intelligence and depth. Last year, I didn't understand it as much, but now I have a full understanding and with about any experiment, I could tell you the Independent Variable, Dependent Variable, Levels of I.V, and Constants were in the project. An independent variable is something that changes and doesn't depend on the dependent variable. A dependent variable relies on the independent variable. Levels of I.V are the things specifically changing in the experiment. A constant is something in an experiment that doesn't change and continues to happen. Such as, in an experiment testing how high two balls can bounce versus each other, a constant would be to drop it at the same height. The independent variable of the situation would be the balls. The levels of the I.V would be the different kind of balls. The dependent variable would be the height that the balls bounced. I learned to do an 'if and then' statement when writing a good hypothesis.
ReplyDeleteTo do well in school, you have to have 21st Century skills and invention, critical thinking, and information literacy, self direction, and collaboration. I've learned a lot so far and can't wait to learn a whole lot more!

On the first day of school, I remember Mr. Andrews saying “The moment you walk into this classroom, you become a scientist.” The more I think about it, the more I know it’s true. Over this unit, I have learned more about the scientific method than what I did at the end of the year in 6th grade. I learned more about the different levels of the scientific method. Levels like, hypothesis, questioning, observations, testing, and the conclusion. Not necessarily in that order, but, I continued to learn more about the scientific method with a course of experiments. Experiments like, the helicopter and spinny top experiment. I learned about the levels of the independent variable, and the constant. This is what I learned when we worked on the scientific method.

So far, science has been very productive. I have learned so much more about the scientific method than I intended too. I now know more about the independent variable and dependent variable. This is good too know because you use for graphs, tables, and you can use it for any subject. I also learned how to make observations and write hypothesis. This is great too know how to do because you are always making hypotheses and observations. For example when you are eating your observing you food. Or when your parents are cooking and you smell it you can make a hypothesis of what it is. Lately we have been talking about the 21st century skills. I have realized that you will need to use these skills a lot more when you're older, but you still use it today. Which is a good thing we were practicing them. By doing activities and day starters I am always increasing my education in science. As you can see, I have learned a lot and I am excited to learn more.

ReplyDeleteOver the past few weeks, I have learned a lot about the scientific method. One thing that I learned a lot about was Independent Variables and Dependent Variables. the Independent Variable (IV) is the variable that changes on purpose and the Dependent Variable (DV) is what you are measuring and waits for the IV to change before it will change. Another thing that I learned a lot about is hypothesis. We learned two ways to write them including the if, then, and because template to organize my hypothesis. I also learned a lot about constants. A constant is something that stays the same during each trial during the experiment. We also learned how to make tables and graphs using the data that we collected from our experiments.

The last few weeks in science we have been learning about the scientific method. everything we have learned has been a review from last year and the years before. The main things I did not know last year were constants and independent variables and dependent variables. Constants are what you keep the same in the experiment. The independent variable is what your changing on purpose and lastly the dependent variable is what your measuring. Last year I knew what the scientific method was but this year I got such a better understanding of it!

This year so far, I have learned an overwhelming amount of information. I am pretty good at science and I am pretty knowledgeable about some parts of science such as the scientific method. But I was surprised to not know about the levels of the independent variable. But they happen to be very easy to find when completing an experiment. I also happened to learn how that when you compare data in science, you typically use a bar graph to display the difference visually. I feel like though I have already learned about the scientific method last year, that I have learned almost everything all over and more in depth. I have been amazed by how much information my mind has already stored about the new and improved perspective of the scientific method. But most important of all, In learned that every single part of the scientific method is in our lives. From the hypothesis of conversations or even the the conclusion gathered from every mistake we make, there is some step of the scientific method.

For these few weeks we have learned the scientific method. The IV, DV, and levels of IV, and constants. I learned from that can help you explaining your project your and find the hypothesis. I like it because last year I didn't understand.But this year I can cause we did these projects that helped me to understand. Well I really thank you for helping me with the scientific method.
ReplyDeleteSo far we have learned and reviewed a lot. We have learned about a ton of crazy things throughout the process of filling in the day starter. We have reviewed about stupix, IV, DV, constants, and data. We have taken two quizzes over these things. We have also learned about observation, using where my pinecone as an example. I have also learned a variety of interesting facts, written on the top right of the white board. I have already learned lots this year.

So far in the year, we have learned a lot about the scientific method. First we focused on independent variables, dependent variables and constants. At first I was unclear about what these things were, and now I understand them fully. To help us understand, we performed experiments and were asked what the independent variable, dependent variable and constant was. After that we studied hypothesis. We took notes and were asked to write our own hypothesis in a certain format. Overall I think that I understand parts of the scientific method a lot more than I did before.

ReplyDeleteThis year I learned about a lot of things. But the two things that I learned about the most is, make observation better, and forming an hypothesis. Before I came into seventh grade I used to make basic observations. But then I came into seventh grade and that was like the very first thing we talked about. I learned how to make more better and educated observations. The last thing I learned was how to make form an hypothesis. In sixth grade I used to just say I think that after doing this experiment this will happen. But when I came into seventh grade I learned what the statement is and how to use it. That is what I have been learning in science.
I have learned plenty of information, not enough information but plenty. First off you have taught the class how make a proper educated hypothesis and know what it is. Like before 7th grade I would probably say for a hypothesis , how many people like the color green. When I could narrow it down to how many girls like the like the color green, or how many 7th grade girls like the color green. Also observations, of course we make observations everyday but could we do something with them? That is one of the most important thing you taught me. I would have to look at something and make something of it. With the mystery box we had to observe the outside and only the outside. I have learned many other thing like IV DV and a lot more but those are just some of the information my brain has gathered these last few weeks of school. I cant wait to see what we are going to learn next in class.

These past few weeks I have learned about a hypothesis, the parts of the hypothesis and the things I need to keep in it when I write one. I have learned about experiments and the parts of the experiment like the IV and the DV and what tells them apart. I have also learned a lot from the day starters in the beginning of class, like a hypnic jerk, where the nerves in one place relax and then they go back up to keep you from falling. I have also learned a lot about how we need 21st century skills to make it in classes and to succeed in life, to get better grades.

So far this year in science class I have learned an immense amount of information on many things. The thing that we have learned most about is the scientific method. I really learned a lot about many aspects of it and got a lot of new information on it. Even though we worked a little bit on the scientific method last year we learned everything in more detail and we worked and talked about it more. One of the things that we learned about the scientific method is all of the different parts. Everyone learned in great detail things like hypothesis, I.V., D.V., constants and levels. I discovered what everything means and does, more than before. After practicing in many different ways so everything was reinforced in our brains we remembered it all well. As a class little tricks we learned helped us remember things (like for I.V. I vill change this). Basically, in our discussions in class we learned about things that will be necessary to our future that include scientific method. Everything that will help us with our lives on how to set up an experiment we were taught. The most important thing was we learned that the best and most proper way to set up experiment. Everything that we learned this year in science class about the scientific method has been new and very exciting.

ReplyDeleteIn these few weeks that we have been learning about the scientific method, I have learned a lot. Before we started I never knew the two proper ways to write a hypothesis. They are levels in the if and levels in the then. Also, before we started these few weeks I never knew that part of Monty Python and the Holy Grail had an experiment in it. Also, I never knew what a random sample is. A random sample is a smaller version of a large group in statistics. I also learned how to write a data table. You put the title as The Effect of the IV on the DV. You then put how many levels of IV in the first column. Then you put the three trials in the middle. At the end, you put the range of the trials and the averages of the trials. I also learned that a hypothesis is an inference based off of observations. Also, I learned that most of the time for graphs in science it is a bar graph. These are just some of the things that I learned about the scientific method.
What we did at school during the week was experiments and using the scientific method. We did our lane experiment, our marble shooter experiment and other experiments. Each time we did the experiments we did our hypothesis, independent and dependent variable and constance. I have learned a lot about the scientific method
ReplyDeleteThese few weeks we started learning more about the scientific method. The reason why I say again is because we learned about it last year but we went more in depth of the information. Last year we did not talk about the DV or the IV last year and not the levels either. We also did day starters that helped a bunch to. I like learning about the different types of science and it is really cool. We are also doing some repeat things like STUPIX and variables but it is a good refresher. I really am enjoying the year so far and I think it will still be great the rest of the year.

In period eight for science, I've learned MORE about IV, DV, constants, and levels of IV. When all these elements are put together, hypothesis can be made, and data may be collected.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've learned how to properly make a hypothesis. There are two specific matters to make one (hypothesis), which are very easy (to me) to make. While learning all this, during the first few minutes of class, we have day-starters. These are really fun because they give us more knowledge. Whether its weird and nasty or fun and interesting, all of them are great introductions. Also, we've been introduced into the 21st century skills. Well, not exactly 'introduced,' but have become more in depth with. I now understand communication skills, collaboration skills, and even more!

I was happy to move on from the scientific method, but I did learn plenty.Now when I want to locate the IV I think of ," I Vill change this".For the D.V. I automatically know that I am measuring the subject.We had a few weeks to talk about the Scientific Method in late 6th grade but,this year got us really in depth with the subject.I also learned that scientists always use this method in order to solve problems that go with their persona.I also learned that you have to keep a few constants so your data is not ruined.I can see myself using this method later in the year and in later problems.

Over the past few weeks we have learned the steps to the scientific method. My core did learn a little bit about the scientific method last year but it was not as clear as this unit. We are learning a lot more like how to title and set up a data table. We also went more in depth about IV and DV, for instance how they should only be three words and there should be different levels of IV. Last year, my class was not eligible to enter a project into the science fair, but this year I am excited because I think that it is required for seventh grade. I am excited for what we have to learn through out the rest of this year.

As we learned about the scientific theory. I learned about how valuable it is to make a hypothesis and use the IV & DV when you are in math or reading a scientific paper and that it improves your level of thinking ability in your math & sciences classes. I also learned about the levels and constants of your experiment & how those a are just as Imoortant as your IV &DV when your doing your experiment. I also learned the value of dubble checking data & collecting data which haven't much experience with in science. I'm looking foward to using these tools in other subjects and in my every day life. Thank you Mr Andrews

For the past few weeks we have been learning the scientific method. What I really liked about what we did everyday was the day starter. I really liked how every day starter that we would do was related to what we were going to learn. We learned about the differences of observations and inferences. I learned how to make a data table. I also learned about the IV and DV and were to put them. I really enjoyed all the experiments we did. I also liked doing the common assesment because we got cookies. I really like how we take our time and learn a lot of things. I'm enjoying science this year because of the way we do things and learn.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot so far in the first few weeks of seventh grade science. We have learned a lot from our Daystarters, and I have learned quite a bit from the blogs and science article summaries. The Daystarters have taught me a lot about the different types of scientists and a lot about the scientific method. For example, a neuroscientist studies the brain and how it functions. The IV and the DV are a couple parts of an experiment. I learned the difference between them, and that is the IV is what you change on purpose and the DV is what is being measured (it is affected by the IV). I also learned about 21st century learning skills and how to use them. I learned that self direction is important because you can’t always depend on people to do your work for you. I mean, yes you can ask for help. But you have to guide yourself in the direction you think is right. That is just a little bit about what I learned from this year so far!!

During these past weeks we have learned about how the scientific method works and what we need to do to keep remembering how to do it. We watched videos of how people use it in there projects and we got to do stuff that involved the scientific method. also we know now that we need to almost have the exact answer. Finally we can use this now so we can learn what and then understand what we needed to know.
ReplyDeleteDuring the last few weeks, I have learned more about the scientific method. Although I learned some things about the scientific method last year, I was able to get into more depth. For example: this year we did more experiments on IV and DV to get a better understanding on these variables. I also learned two different ways to write great hypothesis'. The first way is Levels in the "If". For example: "If type of tennis ball is changed from Wilson to Penn then the Wilson ball will bounce higher because it is used in most tennis games. Level in the "then". For example: "If type of tennis ball changes than Wilson will bounce higher than a Penn tennis ball because of the thin layer. I also got a template for how to make a good graph. I also learned. I also learned more on why you need to kep the constants the same. You need to keep the constants the same because if you the experiment that you are trying to answer, will become a whole different experiment. Some examples of constants for the tennis ball experiment/example are same force, same location, and same surface are just some constants. I also learned how to get deeper into a hypothesis. Instead of saying that my hypothesis was correct or incorrect, you (Mr. Andrews) told us to say if our hypothesis was correct, say it was supported, and if our hypothesis was incorrect, say it was refuted.

In science I learned that About the IV and The DV.The IV stand for Independent variable that is the thing that changes on purpose.The Dv or the dependent variable that is the thing that changes the IV.THere a hypothesis that is a guess founded on research.Then you have levels of iv which are the things you are testing.Like salt water and regular water or colored water and non colored water
ReplyDeleteThis year in Mr.Andrews room I learned stuff. I already new about something that Mr.Andrews was IV&DV. The way that Mr.Andrews helped me learn this was that kids were having trouble with IV&DV and he helped me understand it better now I understand it 100% better than I did before. Another thing that he thought me how to tell the difference between an inference and a observation. The way he thought me this was with the work sheet observing a space creature. He also recently thought me the difference between Non-living and Dead. Non-living is something that has never been living like a rock or dead and then processed. Dead is something that was alive and died. That is the stuff that I learned this year in Mr.Andrews

ReplyDeleteI have learned about M.R.S.G.R.E.N I also have learned how to find independent variables as well as dependent variables. This class has made me learn how to make a good graph using the independent and dependent variable. I have also learned how to blog on your site now I can also type a lot faster because of these blogs. I am also learning about cells and their functions. Those are the things I have learned this year so far. by: Sam Abbott
ReplyDeleteThis year alone I have learned that a constant means that it stays the same. I have also learned that I.V. and D.V. can be different and that they can be the same in many ways. Another thing I have learned is that science students in college use a special paper called Cornell notes. One other thing i have learned is that the two main areas that power the cell are called nucleus and cytoplasm and they direct all the other cell powers like ribosomes and mitochondria. The second to last thing I have learned is that there is a scientist that likes to drive fast in old fashion cars. The last thing I learned is that in science there is always a scientist that has a secret.
ReplyDeleteThis year I have reviewed and gone deeper into the meanings of IV, DV, constant, and hypothesis. I am very glad we learned to two correct formats for hypothesis because last year we didn't learn that. I also reviewed the definition of a constant, which is something in that doesn't change in the experiment to keep it fair. I was also refreshed on the definitions of the IV and DV

This year I have recieved alot of information about the scientific method, the IV and the DV. Last year my science class learned a little about the scientific method, but it didn't make as much sence as it does now. we didn't learn about the IV and the DV last year so it was all new! think that learning about the IV and the DV in math and science helped me learn about it better,m and now, if someone asked me what IV and DV means I could give them a straight on explanation.
ReplyDeleteThought out this week i have learned about the humane body. For example i have learned about how are body need nutrients to work properly if they don't get the nutrias need are body would not function right.
ReplyDeleteThough out the week I have learned about the human body. I have learned how our body needs nutrients for it to function right. There are many things that our body does on a daily basis. For example, we have blood flowing through our body every day as we breath.
