& Roosevelt High School

* RHS Electronics Policy * Tour of Classroom * Inquiry Cube * Best Class Ever* * Please take out one spiral notebook from your binder and turn it into Ms. Myriah Day - be sure that your name is on it

* Why might you use a cell phone in class? * How might phones interfere with learning? * Turn to Section 5: Day to Day of your planner * Middle of the right-sided page, find “Personal Electronics” * Thumbs up when you have found it

* Get Inquiry Cube Sheet * Full Name, period, and date!

* I can be awesome and amazing at Roosevelt * I can describe the role of inquiry and science

1. What three qualities do scientists have? Or What are scientists like? 2. Draw what a scientist looks like. 3. How do Scientists do their work? How would they describe a scientific investigation?

* What are questions we can investigate about this cube?

4. What is science? * (How is it different then asking your best friend or looking something up on Wikipedia?) * We will skip #5 for a brief moment * Find the “Notes” section of your handout * Be prepared to take notes about the following slides

* EXPLORING patterns in observations to construct explanations (answers to questions or problems).

* DESIGNING models and experiments to answer questions or problems

* EXPLORING patterns in observations to construct explanations (answers to questions or problems). * DESIGNING models and experiments to answer questions or problems * CREATING and CONDUCTING models or experiments

* EXPLORING patterns in observations to construct explanations (answers to questions or problems). * DESIGNING models and experiments to answer questions or problems * CREATING and CONDUCTING models or experiments * REFINING or REVISING the models or experiments

* EXPLORING patterns in observations to construct explanations (answers to questions or problems). * DESIGNING models and experiments to answer questions or problems * CREATING and CONDUCTING models or experiments * REFINING or REVISING the models or experiments * OWNING and PRESENTING explanations and critiquing the explanations proposed by other scientists.

finding and using patterns in nature to predict the future and understand the past

How do we find and use patterns in nature to predict the future and understand the past?

5. What are questions we can investigate about this cube? Do not touch, turn, lift, or move the cube in any way.

6. Wild Guess: 7.Data: 8. Patterns: A.B. C. Confidence: Low Medium High

9. What is the benefit to hearing other research groups’ ideas? * What is another test we could perform to determine with even more confidence (less error) what is on the bottom?

10. Use your observations (data) to make a prediction of the number in the upper-right corner of the bottom.

* With your limited funding you are able to purchase a small amount of technology and other equipment in order to test your prediction.

11. Final Hypothesis Confidence: Low Medium High

12. Describe how your confidence changed from your Wild Guess and final hypothesis and why? 13. How is this activity like real science?

* I can describe the role of inquiry and science * Write score of 1, 2, 3, or 4 at the top of your this assignment and circle it!

* Elect someone from your table group to collect your papers * Turn in all papers at the front of the room in your designated slot

* Read the back cover of the planner, sign the learner’s creed * Write one goal about organization and using the planner! * Turn to the calendar section of your planner, find 9/2 – 3 rd period - Write “Best Class Ever” for Homework * Elect one person from your table group to gather the names tags and turn them in at the front of the room
