SUMMARY
The discussion evaluates a website offering middle school science projects for practicing the Scientific Method, specifically in Physics. While the contributor acknowledges that the list includes some usable projects, such as the vertical spring-mass system, they express concerns about the lack of curation for effectively teaching the scientific method. Additionally, the contributor highlights that the project list is outdated, noting that modern phone applications facilitate data gathering, enabling students to concentrate on hypothesis formulation and testing procedures.
