Bone Comparison
Experiments are never perfect the first time, and there is almost always a better way
to do something. Scientists know this. New discoveries happen by improving
experiments each time they are performed.
All good scientists also share what they have learned from their experiments
because sharing ideas is the best way to learn even more.
Now it's your turn to share.
Topics
1. Describe at least one part of the experimental procedure that you thought was essential to
getting good results. Did you find that certain steps in the procedure had to be followed
carefully in order to get consistent results? If you wanted better results, do you think there is a
step that could have been added to the procedure?
2. Discuss your thoughts on the overall lab design. Did it help you understand the concepts better,
or did it raise more questions? Do you think you could have designed a better experiment? If so,
explain how, and then discuss it with your classmates. Share some of your knowledge with
them, or learn a little more about the experiment you just did.
