Most teachers already know that…
• Many concepts (especially complex ones) are perceived to be boring by students
• Retention of knowledge is poor
• Everyone (including you) is frustrated

What is a teacher to do????

Create your lesson to be…
• Engaging• Hands-on• Student-centered• Relevant to everyday
life

Introducing…
• Super Science Sleuth! An exciting way to introduce your students to the scientific method which will ensure (hopefully) knowledge mastery!
![Page 6: Super Science Sleuth An exciting way to introduce your students to the scientific method! Nicole Satchell](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013012/5697bf811a28abf838c85685/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The “Problem-Based Learning” Model will be used to introduce the lesson. This model enables the students to:
• “Learn to learn”• “Work cooperatively in groups”• “Seek solutions to real world problems”• “Find and use appropriate learning resources”• http://www.udel.edu/pbl/• Quotes above from Barbara Duch

Sweet and Sour
• Students will work cooperatively to “solve” the iced tea mystery
• Groups will design an experiment and be assessed by their peers and the teacher

• Next, the students will view a “Super Science Sleuth” PowerPoint presentation
• This presentation will be split into three main parts:
•Steps of the scientific method and definitions of key terms
•Experimental Design Guide
•Research Tips

Once students have completed this module, they will be able to:
Draw logical conclusions based upon observations and analyzed data
Design an experiment which will include the presence and manipulation of variables (independent, dependent, controlled)
Create a graphical display of result data
Research a chosen topic to determine which independent and dependent variables to be tested, and which variables to hold constant (controlled).

As a final task in becoming a Super Science Sleuth,
• Students will be given their own Experimental Design Worksheet to create an experiment about a topic of interest. This worksheet will be the basis of their Science Fair Project.

For completion of this unit, there will be two assessments:
• A formal (traditional) exam which will test students’ knowledge mastery of the content matter (steps of the scientific method, experimental design, pertinent vocabulary terms)
• A performance assessment will be administered. This assessment will challenge the students to evaluate a sample experimental design and note any flaws in logic or methods used by the scientist.

Once this is done, you will have a room full of…
Super Science Sleuths!!!!!
