Step 5: Analyze the Results
Step 6: Conclusion
Step 3: Hypothesis
Scientific Method
Step 2B: Research
Scientific Knowledge
Generate Concepts/Research
Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Technology
Step where we...Made a claim about what we thought would happen to the distance that the ping pong ball would be thrown if we used longer/shorter lever (forearm) before doing the experiment
Step where we...Examined a prototype prosthetic arm and recorded what we saw
What stepwise process did we do today to research how the length of the forearm effects the strength of the throw.
Step where we...Looked at our lab results to see which lever length (forearm length) went farther and see if we could make meaning of anything else that happened in the lab.
Step where we... Made a claim that the longer the lever arm the farther the throw based on the evidence of our experiment as a class
Step where we...Identified an experimental question that we can solve: How does the length of the lever effect the distance of the throw?
Step where we...Studied levers and how the arm is a lever
This is the step of the engineering design process that we completed by performing the lab on forearm length and strength of the throw
Stepwise process where we learn how to design and build a prototype prosthetic arm
Product obtained at the end of the scientific method
Step where we...Launched the ping pong ball with the longer & shorter lever length (forearm) to see which threw the ping pong ball farther. We then recorded that information/data
Product created at the end of the engineering design process
