Solve the Dissolving Problem

In this lesson, students will be experimenting with what independent variable will affect dissolving rates; students will compare results of peers to also determine materials that dissolve and do not dissolve from 5 given materials. Students will identify and learn what controls in an experiment are and their importance. This is a multi-part lesson that can be broken down by day or presented in one block. Complete all the Part A’s in each phase (Teaching/I Do/Know, Guided/We Do/Understand, Independent/You Do/Do) before Part B’s.
