Tools Scientists Use
Directions
1. Students work in groups of four to create posters of Tools Scientists Use.
2. Yesterday, each class came up with a list of tools and wrote the list on their period’s white board.
3. Today, students in each class made a master list of the tools and then worked with their groups to come up with categories for organizing the tools. Some of the categories included lab safety equipment, tools used for measurement, and tools that are used for containing liquids.
4. Other groups organized the tools by area of science, including tools that are used in Integrated Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
5. Students then made big, bright posters to present their work.
6. A selection of the posters will be displayed around the classroom and will help reinforce vocabulary when we prepare for labs.
