Students are using the document camera to snap a picture of the data they collected. groups in the class.
After completing two scientific investigations with their maglev trains, fourth graders were able to see how collecting data allowed them to make practical decisions with their trains. Data tells us a story, and we look for trends within the data to help us understand the question we are investigating.
Sometimes, the data we get isn't what we expected, and fourth graders quickly learned that you can NEVER change the data. They also learned about generating explanations for the inconsistencies in the data, laying the foundation for setting up a controlled experiment. Way to go fourth grade!
