Science Lesson, Testing Weight and Motion

Today, completed the lab part of testing weight with the following:
1 dependent variable, the number of blocks
1 independent variable, time in seconds
several constants: standard design vehicle, length of string and # of washers used to pull against the vehicle.

Students completed their first lab reports as I guided their experience.

Tomorrow we will graph the independent variable data on a line plot with colored circles.
