Parts of an Experiment and Skills

We started to investigate the scientific process as a system.

In the next week, we will look at the structure and specific parts found in experiments.  Students will need to identify the different parts given an experimental scenario.  

Starting with the following article titled, "Life Saver," we read about scientists' methods to experiment and solve problems.
