Living Environment Students Learn about Controlled Experimentation
Students in Mrs. Aguayo’s Living Environment class at McEvoy started out the year learning about controlled experiments. Students were given an opportunity to brainstorm and come up with an experiment of interest to them that could be tested in class. As a class, students decided to test the hypothesis that Mentos candy causes soda to fizz. The experiment was 100% student created – from how they would collect data to determining the independent and dependent variables.
