One of the labs I am using to teach scientific method with this year is called "Drops on a Coin." In this lab students design their own experiment to compare the number of drops of water that can be contained on a penny to the number on a nickle. I allowed the students to come up with their own procedures which proved interesting, as some students didn't elaborate much at all on how to get the drops on the coins nor did they allow for repetition. How do you teach scientific method?
