This is our third quiz of the year and it will cover the science inquiry process we used to make a data-based prediction for how many pennies can can fit into a 56 cm circle.
This week there will only be a multiple choice and essay in GoFormative.
There is a time limit on this quiz, which is due at the end of the class period, but it will likely take you much less time. When done, please begin work on collecting data for our next experiment.
Take a deep breadth, take your time to read each question, and pick the best answer- or write what you think. When done, I will have you work in teams on a new experiment where we will look to discover a new pattern.
I wish you the best!
Mr. Scannell

A student in Physical Science asked, "Hey what would the A-value be for a dime?" Another student said, oh, that should be easy to predict since a dime is a little smaller than a penny. Based on our experiments, I would expect the A-value for a dime to be _____."

When introducing an experiment and before we have collected any data, you got a chance to think about the real life experience and make a wild guess prediction. Then, we have engaged in science inquiry using the process below.
Providing evidence from this class, explain why in science we prefer a data-informed decision over a wild-guess: To receive full credit for this question, you should provide at least 2 pieces of evidence from our experiments.
