The save Fred! practice lab was a experiment that we did to act as a example of a real lab.
Materials
Background
Fred was out on his boat in the ocean and suddenly a huge storm hits him and knocked his boat upside down but somehow Fred managed to get on top of the boat but his life savor is under the boat. Because Fred is a gummy worm there are threats all around him. There are threats in the water and there are threats from the sun and sky because birds can snatch Fred up. But Fred miraculously finds some friends ( me and my partner) to help him. He asks them to grab the life savor from under the boat and place him into it. Then place him on top of the boat or flip the boat over and place him in it. Fred also doesn't want to touch the water because of the dangers. You are not allowed to use your hands.
Procedure
The process that we used in this practice lab was to use the two paper clips to pick up Fred, the life savor, and the boat. Me and my partner planned out what we were going to do to succeed in the lab. The strategy that we came up with to save Fred was first to turn our paper clips into little hooks so it would be easier to pick up Fred and the life savor. Then I picked up Fred with the hook and just held him. My partner then grabbed the life savor from under the boat with her hook but did not flip over the boat. She then just held up the life savor while i placed Fred in it. Then she placed Fred on top of the boat and the lab was a success. We each then got to eat one of the gummys at the end.
