Computational Thinking in Science and Math

Can Crusher Lab

---

In this lesson, you will design a procedure to test the independent variable of your choice to determine how that independent variable affects the overall percent crush (your dependent variable) of a pop can.

You will collect data in class over several class periods. You will create a graph of that data, analyze your graph, and use a simulation to check the validity of your data. After checking the validity of your data, you will compose a claim based on your data.

You will be asked to support your claim with evidence, and finally asked to explain why your evidence supports your claim using scientific reasoning.
