Lesson Activity/Experiences:
·  Monday:
o  Introduce students to the Scientific Method by displaying poster on board, read the story Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum and ask comprehension questions, After reading the story, tell students they are going to use the steps, or the scientific method, to conduct an investigation. Ask students“How many of you have blown bubbles? How did you do that?”, create a class circle map
·  Tuesday:
o  Review class circle Map of how bubbles are blown, tell students you have bubble solution and you don’t anything to make bubbles with, as a class you will investigate what items can be used to make bubbles, show students the items you have, begin filling in scientific method experiment worksheet (problem, materials, and hypothesis)
·  Wednesday:
o  Science Fusion Workbook pages
·  Thursday:
o  Students will review the Scientific Method by completing the Scientific Method Order worksheet (F), as a class continue bubble investigation, advise students to write down observations
·  Friday:
o  Students will complete Scientific Method Experiment worksheet (S), compare results with class, Fun Friday
