1. Technology acts a direct substitute, with no functional improvement
Variables in Science
Students will use a YouTube video that introduces independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
The student will take out a blank sheet of paper and their pens/pencils.
The student will watch a short video about independent variables, dependent variable, and controlled variables.
3. The student will write a short summary on what they have learned. The summary must include one example of a independent variable, dependent variable, and controlled variable.
This task uses:
video
Learning Objective(s):
Students will learn the difference between independent, dependent and controlled variables.
TEACHER NOTES:
Teacher’s name/ Sharmricia
School: Oak Park Middle School
Louisiana State Standard: Identify independent variables, dependent variables, and variables that should be controlled in designing an experiment (SI-M-A2)
Grade Level/Subject: 6th/Physical Science
Special Directions/Considerations: If YouTube is blocked by your administrator, you must save the link to a flash drive. You will need to convert the video before showing in class.
Activity Evaluation: The student will write a short summary on what they have learned. The summary must include one example of a independent variable, dependent variable, and controlled variable.
Prerequisites for students: N/A

2. Questions, Questions, QuestionsA
Questions, Questions, Questions
Students will use an Edpuzzle video with embedded questions to review and test the students knowledge.
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with some functional improvement.
The student will take out a blank sheet of paper and their pens/pencils.
The student will watch a video that is in Edpuzzle. The video will pause at intervals in order for students to answer embedded questions. The computer will then provide the correct answer after submitting an answer choice and clicking submit.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The student will be able to identify the differences between independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
TEACHER NOTES:
Teacher’s name/ Sharmricia
School: Oak Park Middle School
Louisiana State Standard: Identify independent variables, dependent variables, and variables that should be controlled in designing an experiment (SI-M-A2)
Grade Level/Subject: 6th/Physical Science
Special Directions/Considerations: The teacher must have an EdPuzzle account set up before accessing the link.
Activity Evaluation: The students are required to answer the question on a sheet of paper. Immediate feedback is given by the program that provides the correct answers once submit is pressed.
Prerequisites for students: N/A

3. M Technical Lab Reports
Students will use technology to create a laboratory report by using Doodle Buddy.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
The student will use an iPad and log in to Doodle Buddy.
The students will create their laboratory report into doodle buddy.
- The students must draw a representation of the steps included in the experiment.
- The students must create a data table within the laboratory report with the length and times recorded into the table.
- The students must plot their data on the graph.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The student will be able to identify the differences between independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
The student will be able to create their laboratory report using technology.
TEACHER NOTES:

Grade Level/Subject: 6th/Physical Science
Special Directions/Considerations: Doodle Buddy should be downloaded on the iPad before this lesson.
Activity Evaluation: The students will be graded based on this criteria:
- The students must draw a representation of the steps included in the experiment.
- The students must create a data table within the laboratory report with the length and times recorded into the table.
- The students must plot their data on the graph.
Prerequisites for students: The students must have performed the tick-tock pendulum experiment.

4. R
Talk to Me!
Students will create a slide sharing what you have learned.
REDEFINITION Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
The students will use a laptop or iPad to access the link to Google Slides in the class Blackboard site.
The students will transfer their drawings in doodle buddy into a slide.
The students will edit their slides by adding text that includes information on what they have learned about independent variables, dependent variables, and controlled variables.
Each student will be required to post feedback to two other students Google Slides. The feedback should include comments and suggestions.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The student will be able to identify the differences between independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
