A short introductory text presents the experiment to the students. Then the research question is stated.
The students make guesses and exchange ideas about possible solutions.
This is followed by a list of the required materials as well as clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up and conducting the experiment in the small group.
Observation questions for checking the results can be answered right on the instructions.
There are also reflection questions for evaluating and incorporating the experiment and establishing the reference to the opening question.
An additional research project encourages the students to do further research.
Documentation aids in the student instructions or a blank form to be filled out is provided for documenting the experiment.
