When scientists conduct an experiment!

Scientists conduct experiments and write them using a lab report format.
Which will go farther, a ping-pong ball or a cotton ball using the catapult you design?
The next thing scientists do after identifying their question is to come up with a hypothesis and ask, " How can I test this?"
We moved into the dining room to conduct our trials.

We then taught the children that scientists write data in an organized manner. Scientists use tables and graphs to organize data and to look for patterns.
