Science Probe I Technology Activities

Chapter 1

Internet

Locate a site on the Internet in which scientists will answer questions, either in a web discussion site or by e-mail. Ask a scientist how variables are chosen, how a control is used, what role observations play in experiments, and how data is recorded in an experiment. Prepare a multimedia presentation that demonstrates to your classmates how the scientist uses these in designing and performing experiments.

Application Software

Activity 1B – Do an Internet search to find information about a branch of science in this activity with which you are unfamiliar. When this is completed, use an Internet search program (search engine) to find information about a related career. Print the results of your search and secure them in your SCIENCE PROBE Logbook where you win answer the discussion questions.

Activity 1C – Use a word processing program to prepare the list of process skins. When you have completed your list, use a presentation software program to present your list of process skills for comparison with the lists prepared by other students. Print the results of your work, and secure them in your SCIENCE PROBE Logbook where you will answer the discussion questions.
