Good Instructions

We are learning: The requirements of good instructions.

You need detail, an example: Fold the paper in half longways.

You need 1 instruction per step, example: 1. Take a big step to the left. 2. Take a short step straight ahead.

You need precise language, example: Chop exactly half the paper, (32 cm) off.

You need descriptive words, example: Take a big step to the right, then a little to the left.

Use directional words, example: Turn left, turn 180 degrees.

Use appropriate verbs, example: Run, jump, tip toe.

You need to consider your audience, example: If your audience is for 5 year olds, you need to make the steps simple.

Class Science.

The other day we watched a video on how to make a homemade lava lamp. We watched it and found out what we had to do. We then had to come up with a new question and hypothesis. Mine was if temperature of water affected the  experiment. Our hypothesis ended up correct. Here is a link to the website. http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/lavalamp.php
