This week sixth graders have been busy performing experiments that they designed, using their classmates as subjects. Students have been learning about experimental design, the importance of controlled variables, and the need for multiple trials. They have gotten to put theory into practice and are learning how to do real science. Many creative hypotheses were developed, as students were required to investigate topics related to the senses. As subjects they’ve been blindfolded, exposed to cold, forced to eat a variety of foods, worked math problems while being distracted with music, as well as many other interesting experiments. Be watching sixth graders’ blogs for the results of their hard work.
