Consumer Testing in the Classroom
Those whiners who constantly mewl "why do I need to learn this?" can be in
charge of this lesson - let them brainstorm ways to use the scientific
method in testing consumer products. The following are just samples; have
your kids come up with other products to test, and devise ways to test
them.
Are You Under Pressure?

science (chemistry and meteorology) topic. Students select a series of lab
investigations to accomplish, and then explain the results obtained. This
can be supplemented with additional on-line and off-line activities which
will help to assess student understanding.

in a study of the multicultural character of the local community.
Community resources, e.g., people, places, things, and events, are
incorporated into the classroom/field-based investigation.

science investigation on electricity. Students learn through the discovery
method how electricity works. The student's natural curiosity and sense of
