Using the Scientific Method by Jenna M.

Throughout this year, my student assistants will be helping keep everyone updated on classroom events. Here is Jenna's first blog post:

This week Mrs. Glade’s 8^th graders have been keeping pretty busy. They’ve been learning all about the scientific method and how all the steps work together to help scientists develop scientific theory. Today they are doing a lab to determine which tape is the stickiest. They are using Scotch tape, masking tape, and duct tape. The lab works by putting the different types of tape on the table after their ramp (the ruler) and rolling down the marble. The shorter the distance the marble rolls after hitting the tape; the stickier the tape is. I am looking forward to seeing what the class will be working on next week! :)
