What makes a good observation?
Tuesday8/24/10
All experiments start with?
Observation Activity 1. What is in the container? 2. How
do you know (be specific)?3. Are they real? 4. How do you
know?5. Are they different flavors? 6.
How would you know?7. Do they have an odor? 8. How
would you know?9. Do they make noise? Really? 10.
How do you know? 11. How many are in the container? 12. How would you verify your
answer?13. How did you determine your
answers?14. Why is this important to
scientific investigation?
Conclusion*Develop a problem/purpose and a
hypothesis you could use to find out more information about the “materials” in the container.
*Infer/Inference: to conclude by reasoning
How does inference impact the way you perceive experiences in life?
