In Class Science Projects: Procedure, Results, Data and Conclusion This Week



I am modeling an in-class science project on Liquid Evaporations.  Last week we discussed the first steps of the Scientific Process: Question, Hypothesis, Materials and Procedure.
This upcoming week I will model Procedure (cont), Results, Data and Conclusion.

I added a few "in-progress" projects to show you the range of projects students are working on in class.  All projects stem from 4th Grade Science Standards.
