Goal - I can order the steps of the scientific method and match examples for each step.
Situation: A student notices their phone battery seems to run out of energy fast. They wonder how long their battery lasts on average lately. They decide to charge it to 100% at 8am and then record the time when it reaches 0%. At 10pm that same day it reaches 0%. They divide 100% by the number of hours it took to run out. They calculate the rate of energy burned to be 7.14% for every one hour of usage. They share their results with a friend who has the same phone.
