The teacher constrains the experiment by supplying the list of available equipment and materials and by giving instruction on the use of the equipment and materials. Students record the materials they use on their lab sheet. Students devise and record their set-up and procedures based on their hypothesis, the available equipment, and the instructions on how to use the equipment. Students perform their procedures, record their data and perform and record any required calculations.
Students formulate and record a conclusion based on their data.
During the performing of the activity additional questions should be raised. Students record these questions and possible answers on the lab sheet. Upon completion of the lab the teacher leads a discussion of the individual group's results and the questions generated by the students. Extensions of lab can be derived from student's questions, suggested by the teacher, or obtained from the Teacher Instructions.
