Scientific Investigation, Reasoning,

and Logic
4.1 The student will demonstrate an
understanding of scientific reasoning,
logic, and the nature of science by
planning and conducting
investigations in which
a) distinctions are made among
observations, conclusions, inferences, and
predictions
c) appropriate instruments are selected
and used to measure length, mass,
volume, and temperature in metric units;
d) appropriate instruments are selected
and used to measure elapsed time;
e) predictions and inferences are made,
and conclusions are drawn based on data
from a variety of sources
f) independent and dependent variables
are identified
h) hypotheses are developed as cause

Scientific Investigation, Reasoning,

and Logic
4.1 The student will demonstrate an
understanding of scientific reasoning,
logic, and the nature of science by
planning and conducting
investigations in which
k) data are communicated with simple
graphs, pictures, written statements, and
numbers;
l) models are constructed to clarify
explanations, demonstrate relationships,
and solve needs;
m) current applications are used to
reinforce science concepts.

The app will be used by the teacher
and students to introduce the concept of
experimentation at the beginning of the
school year. The teacher will demonstrate
how to properly use the app and the
students will then use the app on a device
at a work station. While doing so they are
to pay close attention to the terminology
and tools that are being used. Once they
are familiar with the app the teacher will
go over the terminology and tools that

Following the use of the Crazy Scientist

Lab Experiment app and the actual
experimentations, the students in their lab
groups will present their findings to the
class. Each lab group will use Google
Slides to collaborate their findings so that
they can present it to their classmates.
The teacher will create the account and
put the students into their groups
accordingly. Each student in the group is
responsible for presenting a certain
