EXPERIMENTS AT LEVEL 7
Pose a problem that will require an experiment to investigate
Write a plan for the experimentCarry out the experiment and record data
Analyse the dataAnswer the investigative problem
What could possibly go wrong?
BASIC OVERVIEW
Outline process for increasing understanding of new curriculum and associated assessment standards
Share planning for experiments at level 7
Increase understanding of different types of investigations involving experimental situations
WORKSHOP GOALS

SYNTHESISING AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Different types of experimentsHow to pose a question for an investigation that needs an experiment
How to plan an experimentHow to explore data from an experiment
How to consider and use variabilityHow to write a report
WHAT DO STUDENTS NEED TO LEARN
Identify which of the following are experiments, and if so, what kind of experiment.
Describe what should you be looking for in the data.
EXPERIMENT?
What is the relationship between people’s “before exercise” pulse rates and their “after exercise” pulse rates?
EXPERIMENT?
What is the relationship between the height balls are dropped from and the height of the first bounce?
EXPERIMENT?
What is the relationship between the length and maximum circumference of carrots (or other fruit or vegetable?)
EXPERIMENT?
What is the relationship between people’s cubit lengths and their heights? (Cubit length is from elbow to tip of middle finger.)
EXPERIMENT?
Is the number of assessment standards (for all qualifications not just NCEA) offered by NZQA greater or less than 5 000?
How many assessment standards do you think are offered by NZQA?
SURVEY TIME
Is the number of assessment standards (for all qualifications not just NCEA) offered by NZQA greater or less than 15 000?
How many assessment standards do you think are offered by NZQA?

TESTING PROCESSES
Myth busters episode on whether it is possible to shoot a ball out of the back of a car at the same speed the car is moving forward so that relative motion is zero.
What was the investigative question?
What type of experiment was used?
How many trials were competed OR how many experimental units?
How was the data collected? What measurement tools were used?
What analysis was completed?What conclusions were made?
IDENTIFY AND DESCRIBE STEPS IN THE INVESTIGATION
USE WORRY QUESTIONS TO EVALUATE AND CRITIQUE
