Scientific Method Comic Strip Project
Are you looking for a project that will assess your students' knowledge on the scientific method? This project can do just that. Students will create a comic strip that includes a frame for each of the steps of the scientific method. They will create an illustration and caption that helps to explain each step. I have also included the rubric that can be used for assessment. It can easily be adapted for any science class, and it is a great tool to differentiate instruction.
