Science Investigation Labs
The purpose of this page is to share a collection of labs that are done in class. Many of these labs are found on the other pages as well, however, this is a collection of labs that have been tried in the classroom. As teachers, we understand that science is more than just content but the experience of following a scientific method to make predictions, analyze and summarize data, and develop conclusions are an everyday process. The National Science Teachers Association recommends science at this level is 50% hands-on experience.
