Scientific Inquiry Investigations

@Practice Scenario

__ Phase 1 __ @Analyze an Experimental Scenario pd 4 During this phase of the investigation, you will CLOSELY read an experimental scenario. Upon completion of the reading, you will collaborate with a partner to analyze the scenario, critically thinking about its design. You will then, working with your partner, identify the various aspects of the scenario and make recommendations for further study or improvement.
 * CHANGE THE FONT COLOR OF YOUR ANSWERS SO THEY ARE EASY FOR YOUR PEERS TO LOCATE **

__ Phase 2 __ @Peer Review of Phase 1 pd 4 In phase 2, you will be assigned an experimental scenario from phase 1 to peer review. This means you will CLOSELY read the experimental scenario, analyze the scenario, and critically think about its design. You will then REVIEW the answers posted by one of your peers regarding that scenario. You will then, **using the "discussion" located at the bottom of the page**, post a reply to your peer indicating agreement/disagreement with the given answers and make recommendations for improving their original post.

__ Phase 3 __ @Design an Experiment pd 4 During phase 3 of this lesson, you will be challenged to design a scientifically sound __controlled experiment__ integrating all aspects of proper experimental design. You will be assigned a scientific question on which to base your design. You will be working independently during phase 3.

__Phase 4__ Peer Review and Collaboration of Phase 3 pd 4 During this final phase, you will review and collaborate with your peers (2-3) regarding their experimental designs for the same scientific question you completed in phase 3. Collaboration will occur using the discussion feature of wikispaces. You will work with your peers to consolidate your efforts into one final "best" design for submission.
