Time Frame:
This project should take about five 60-minute sessions.
Materials Needed:
Microscopes and various other materials, depending on student's choice of experiment.
Description of Task:
Students will design an experiment using the scientific method, which involves the use of a microscope. Students will form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and write up the observed results. The experiment will be planned, conducted, and written in Spanish. Students will turn in a lab report, which will be assessed for content and appropriate language use. Students will describe the assignment, plan the experiment, gather materials, conduct the experiment, and write it up. Time permitting, the teacher may decide to have students formally (or informally) and present their projects to the class.
