Free lesson: The Fair Test Lab (Grade 9 Science)

This is a complete lesson from SNC1W Unit 1, Thinking Like a Scientist, free to download and use. It's exactly what you get in the paid units, so you can see the quality before you buy.

Students build paper helicopters with four different wing lengths, write a hypothesis, control their variables and time three trials for each design. They calculate averages, graph their results and write a conclusion that uses their data, with a worked model answer. All you need is scrap paper, scissors, paper clips and a timer, and the plan includes safety notes for the drop.

What you get

• A teacher lesson plan built on the 2022 Grade 9 Science curriculum (SNC1W), with expectations, learning goals, success criteria, a timed sequence, differentiation, safety notes and a worked answer key
• A slide deck with speaker notes on every slide
• The lab handout with a data table, graph grid and conclusion frame
• Editable Word and PowerPoint files, plus PDFs
