Warm-Up Activity Study the diagram shown. How many animals were here? What kind were they? What were they doing? Were they here at the same time? In your notebooks, use your best guess and write down what you think happened at this scene.

Deductive Reasoning Making inferences or drawing conclusions based on available evidence Observe a situation Organize it into parts Evaluate it Draw appropriate conclusions

What’s in the Box? Using your deductive reasoning skills to identify the contents of mystery boxes.

Data Table Mystery Box Observations What do you think it is? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8

Post-Lab Questions Which sense – touch, smell, taste, sight, or sound – helped you the most in determining what was in each box? Why? How many times did you correctly determine the contents of a box? How might one of these closed cardboard boxes represent a mummy or unearthed coffin?
