The Experiment

Learning Target: 
  • I can set up a controlled experiment
HOWLs Target:
  • I cooperate with others.
Agenda
  • Warm-up: VARIABLE (2min)
    • I like to snowtube by sitting down in the tube then slowly lifting my legs and starting to slide and singing Biz Markie "Just a Friend." Sometimes I wonder, is there a way to go faster?
