NGSS Lab - Gamer's vs Non-Gamers - "Muscle Fatigue"
- Word Document File
Description
The lab is a great introductory lab to the process of science since it develops skills in identifying types of variables, testing student's ability to collect data, graph information, and formulate conclusions based on the problem of the day.
Students will apply their learning and understanding using the Science and Engineering Processes to pose a hypothesis, analyzing and interpreting data, create a CER to engage in argument with evidence, and finally design and carry out their own experiment. The lesson could also be used in a unit on the brain and nervous system and to explore the biology behind muscle fatigue.
Access to a laptop and cell phone is not-required although the lab could be modified to be used online in KAMI or a PDF editor application. It works well at many grade levels assuming students have some experience with the scientific method.
