This scientific method fold-able activity is designed to teach students the steps of the scientific method, provide them with choice built into the assignment, and a review tool to review the steps of the scientific method. My goal is to always give my students the opportunity to learn by doing and to have choice built into their assignments. In 7th grade, we teach the scientific method as part of our state standards. Students must know the steps of the scientific method and be able to identify these steps in an example experiment. With this fold-able activity, students will record the steps of the scientific method in order. Then, on the inside of the fold-able they will choose the activity they wish to complete. I am giving my students the choice of completing a comic strip or creating an example that walks through each step of the scientific method. For the comic strip, they must illustrate what each step looks like to them and possibly even illustrate the steps of the scientific method using a specific example or experiment. If they choose to create an example they will come up with a question they have that they would like to use to work through each step of the scientific method. They will use the boxes on the inside of the fold-able to display their creations. Once I have graded them and returned them, they will be able to cut the flaps of each step to review the steps of the scientific method as a review tool.
