Description
Fully editable, NGSS/modeling pedagogy aligned inquiry lab summaries! Most lab summaries consist of 2-3 pages, with space for students to provide the following information:
- Lab investigation purpose
- Data for the independent and dependent variable
- Written statement on data trends
- Sketch of a graphical model using a line of best fit
- Linear and quadratic equation to mathematically model the relationship between the variables
- Analysis of physical meanings of slope and y-intercepts
- Space to list tools used and a brief description of collecting and analyzing data
- Space to reflect on the validity of the data by discussing error and data methods
- Space for notes taken during whole class data discussions
If the lab summary is of a PhET Simulation, there are also questions embedded that highlight conceptual understanding of phenomena observed, requiring students to explain using vocabulary and observations, often in addition to mathematical analysis.
Inquiry labs are used for students to develop multiple representations of natural phenomena through planning and implementing lab investigations, collecting and analyzing data, and generating graphical, mathematical, and diagrammatically models. The models developed from inquiry labs can be refined through whole class Socratic discussion to generate reliable methods of analyzing physical phenomena and make meaningful predictions when given known variable values, such as Newton’s 2nd Law and Kinematic Equations.

CCSS8.F.A.3
Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
CCSS8.F.B.4
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (𝘹, 𝘺) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
CCSS8.F.B.5
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
CCSSHSN-Q.A.1
Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
CCSSHSN-Q.A.2
Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
