Investigate! Data Collection Sheet
A Sample Worksheet for the Exhibit Halls
This worksheet supports the Investigate! exhibit learning objectives to ask questions, control variables and collect data. It works best when students have practiced using this sheet in a classroom investigation before coming to the Museum.
Students can collect data in an exhibit and, with the help of their teacher, can analyze their data back at school. Often the learning outcomes include more questions and proposed experiments that students would try if they had the chance.
