They begin measuring rocks
Struggling with procedure
They almost forgot to zero the scale with the beaker, they subtracted the weight of the beaker from the overall weight, instead of zeroing the scale with the beaker on it
They are regularly recording their results and writing neatly
They are checking off the materials
They are following the procedure well
They did not at first compare information
They are doing their calculations on paper
They are not both doing the math
They did not check their math
They figured out the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder easily
Now they both did the math and had conflicting results, they then redid the math and located where they went wrong and corrected it
They are now trying to find which cylinder would be best, and based their decision on which one is more accurate
They are still following the procedure well
They are trying to be as precise as possible
They compromise on most estimations
They took the Thermometer out of the water so they could see if the temperature they had recorded was Fahrenheit or Celsius
It appears to me that they are recording the data regularly but are not taking much time to accurately record their observations
They leave the fire unattended while they record their data
They are now observing the water boiling
They are now recording more observations and are going into more detail
They were familiar with the fact that our current location is not precisely sea level, and understood how it could affect the boiling point
They are being considerate of hot objects and are handling everything with care
They are now finished with the procedure and are now doing the calculations, but they are not doing them together or comparing answers as lab partners should
Now they are learning the correct way to “show their work” so that Michelle can see where they went wrong, and correct it with them, they seem to understand it well
The lab is over, overall they did well and did not make many mistakes that I noticed, I think they have grabbed this lab well, and understood it well
The only thing they might need to work on is teamwork, for instance communicating with their partner and doing the work together, because it’s good to have two different opinions
