Agenda
Learning Goal
- Choose an experiment you would like to test.
- Watch the "Bouncy Ball Experiment Movie" as an example showing how to design a controlled experiment.
- Use the "Lab Write-Up Template" to design your experiment.
- Conduct your experiment and submit a picture showing your results.
- Complete the conclusion summarizing the results of your experiment.
During this lesson you will design and conduct a controlled experiment following lab safety guidlines.
I know I have it when I can design and conduct a controlled experiment and analyze the data to determine the validity of the results.

Lesson Warmup
Take a look at the experiments on the ORANGE slide. Think about which one you would like to do.
Make sure you have the supplies you need to complete the experiment you chose.
Which Experiment Will You Choose?
Directions: Take a look at the experiments below. Choose one that you would like to do.
Memory Tests
Directions: Choose two tests to use if you are choosing “Does listening to music affect memory?”
Study the test for 45 seconds without listening to music then see how many items you can write down in one minute.
Repeat this using a different memory test while listening to music.
Bouncy Ball Experiment Movie
Directions: Watch the movie to see an example showing how to set up a controlled experiment. Feel free to repeat this experiment or design your own using the suggestions on the ORANGE slide.
Picture Submission of Lab Results
Directions: Upload a picture of your lab results below. Acceptable formats: jpg, pdf, doc and gif.
Conclusion
Directions: Analyze the results of your experiment and summarize what you learned.
