This resource, Experimental Variables of the Scientific Method, is Guided notes for teacher & for note taking by students. It guides the teacher in presenting notes for students to themselves record. Brain research has shown that we need to "read/see/hear" something at least 7 times before we remember/learn it. So in class we listen, we read, we write, we play games, make flashcards, draw diagrams, watch videos, do labs, etc. Sure, I often hear, "We already covered this". To which I often r
