Do Now: You need a pencil
Revisit what we finished on Friday: What do plants need to grow? Learning Goals: You are going to design and conduct your own experiment about the effect of some variable on the growth of a plant. To do this, you need to understand experimental design and how to collaborate effectively in a group. How can we make collaboration go more smoothly so everyone in the group learns? Group roles for effective collaboration:

With your group, answer the questions on this page. Work together and make sure everyone understands and agrees on the answers. If you understand quickly, figure out how to ask questions to help others think through the problems. It takes deeper thinking to be able to do this.
