Download these Analyzing Fair Tests Activity Sheets to help your students practice identifying dependent and independent variables and making experimental predictions.
Fair Tests Activity Sheets Promote Science Inquiry Skills
Give your 5th and 6th grade students a hands-on way to practice critical scientific thinking and planning skills with these Analyzing Fair Tests Activity Sheets. Our Fair Tests Activity Sheets are designed to help students identify variables in experiments and make predictions based on their knowledge of those variables.
Identify the Variables In An Experiment & Predict The Outcome
Each worksheet presents a simple scientific scenario, such as comparing plant growth with different amounts of water. Students are guided to:
- Identify the variables in an experiment(independent variable (IV), dependent variable (DV), and controls)
- Predict the likely outcome of the experiment based on their understanding of the variables
These printable science inquiry worksheets are designed to help your students understand the basics of fair scientific testing while promoting higher-level thinking and analysis skills.
