Wow I sure was loud today!  Enthusiastic about your use of the scientific method I suppose!  Tonight is the night to tweak any last steps to your procedure.  Be prepared to switch notebooks with your neighbor and have THEM plant YOUR seeds!  (well have a solid set of steps so you wouldn't worry if they did!)

Some of you needed a bit more guidance for what steps to follow... HERE ARE THE "instructions" for the lab along with the rubric I will use to grade when all done.  Some of you still need to LAPS your background information... use THIS PAGE (or visit THIS POST for reminders of what this lab is all about).  You can also do any additional work for LAPS this coming weekend... you already know what abiotic factors are I think!

We will be writing this lab up as a final perfect product AFTER we have results next week.  Good news is that we are all still in the very rough draft stage... and that is fine!  You must have SOME SORT OF PROCEDURE as you walk in the door (needless to say hypothesis must be done so you know what you are testing).
