Activity Overview
Making observations during a science experiment is very important. Observations allow students to become more deeply involved in the process of the experiment from start to finish, and gives them the opportunity to make predictions and analyze outcomes. With this science observation digital worksheet students can keep track of all of the stages of the experiment such as recording their experiment question, hypothesis, materials, images, and all observations.
This activity utilizes the popular experiment of "Adding Sugar and Food Coloring to Water". Students will need a glass of water, sugar and red food coloring. Teachers can introduce the experiment question "Will the food coloring mix into the water?" or ask students to come up with a question of their own. Then, students can form a hypothesis of what they think will happen. This digital worksheet provides room for students to write down their observations as well as the results of the experiment.
Of course, teachers could use any experiment with this activity! There are many more science observation worksheets to choose from! Teachers can add as many templates as they wish for students to do more than one digital worksheet if they finish early, or to differentiate the assignment to meet the needs of all students.
