Content Standard(s): Arizona science standard Strand 1 Concept 2 PO 2 Arizona science standard Strand 1 Concept 2 PO 3 Language Objective: 11-12.RST.8. Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusions in a science or technical text, verifying the data when possible and corroborating or challenging conclusions with other sources of information. Terminal Objective: Students will be able to formulate their own hypothesis for their science fair project. Anticipatory Set: Watch video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp2fbzWZDmA to review some of the key components that will be required for the science fair project. Blooms Level Knowledge Sub-Objective Time Teaching Strategy Teacher will show the video and ask students to pay specific attention to parts when they mentioned independent variable, dependent variable, and hypothesis.
