WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science is a system of knowledge and about the methods you use to find that knowledge. ...it begins with CURIOSITY and often ends with DISCOVERY

LETS LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE 1.) Make Observations 2.) Determine a problem 3.) Form a hypothesis 4.) Collect & Record Data 4.) Conduct Experiment 5.) Analyze Data/Conclusion

Before we get started... SHOUT OUT WHATEVER OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU NOTICE...

Key Term #1: Observation Information you gather using your five senses Factual information that describes something Key Term #1: Observation

OBSERVATIONS

EXAMPLES OF OBSERVATIONS **These are observations because it is information obtained directly through senses!**

An INFERENCE is an assumption or a prediction made from observations Key Term #2: INFERENCE

EXAMPLES OF INFERENCES **Is an assumption that cannot be directly observed with the senses**

BACK TO THE DEMO WERE THOSE OBSERVATION, INFERENCES or BOTH? (*Try to use examples of what you said)

Malleable Intelligence = Practice LETS PRACTICE!! Malleable Intelligence = Practice

IN YOUR GROUPS... What are your inferences? Hamburgers 200 People Cotton Candy What are your inferences? (Write your answer in your guided notes, be ready to share) Popcorn

FRAME #1 Look at these two sets of animal tracks and on your guided notes... List 3 Observations Make an Inference

FRAME #2 List 3 Observations Make an Inference

FRAME #3 List 3 Observations Make an Inference

WHAT WERE THE TWO CATEGORIES THAT ALL OBSERVATIONS FALL UNDER? Back to OBSERVATIONS QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE

Key Term #3: Quantitative Observation ... ARE MEASURABLE OR COUNTABLE Key Term #3: Quantitative Observation

EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE

Key Term #4: Qualitative Observation Describable not measurable Key Term #4: Qualitative Observation

EXAMPLES OF QUALITATIVE

What’s in the bag? (10mins) Within your assigned table teams you will move to the lab benches where there are 5 separate “Mystery Bags” As a group, you will have 2 minutes to feel what is inside the bag and make 2 observations about what you feel. Then, you must infer what is inside the bag. You will rotate every 2 mins until each group has been to all 5 stations
