Topic(s)

 * Null and Investigation Hypothesis
 * Independent and Dependent Variable


 * Objective(s) **
 * **Students will be able to __Construct__ an appropiate Hypothesis for dfferent research pieces**
 * Stduents will be able to __differenciate__ between a Null and an Investigation Hypothesis
 * Students will be able to __write different examples__ of hypothesis for different studies.
 * **Students will be able to __ operationalize __ variables for research in Psychology **
 * Stduents will be able to describe the Independent and Dependent variable for different situations

**Activities / Strategies** - In pairs, students will construct a Handout that tests understanding of Hypothesis (using the information they have from their HW) - Students will give their test to another pair, this pair will revise and improve the handout. Then they will give ir to a third pair and they will solve the handout. - After this, students will give the solved handout to a 4th pair and they will mark it. **(peer-assessment)** - **Note: all students must put their names and what their contribution was for the handout.** - At the end of the lesson, students turn in the exercise to the teacher, who will grade all of their contributions. || Pairs ||  || - Students will solve the handout. - **Peer-assessment**: students will mark eachothers handout and return them. - Students will solve the exercise on Crane p. 27 "be a thinker" || Individual || ||
