How Do Scientists Write?

Today students began our science unit on Balance and Motion.  Using a cutout of a crayfish, students tried to balance it several ways with and without counterweights.

In writing, students are learning how to write like a scientist by using the scientific process.  So far students have learned that a scientist writes a question and lists materials.
