Presenter: ** Michael Wilkinson, ** Math-Science Teacher School: [|Ethical Culture Fieldston School - Fieldston Lower]


 * Description:** This workshop will demonstrate how 5th grade science students collect data from controlled labs investigating the principles of evaporation and convection as part of a study of hurricanes. Students use Vernier probeware and LabPro software to collect and analyze quantitative data. These data are then used to reach and support conclusions describing the nature of the phenomena of evaporation and convection. Both the actual labs and student data will be presented in this workshop.
