The Mystery Boxes Eleftheria Tsourlidaki Ellinogermaniki Agogi

Activity 1 Work in groups to try and discover what is inside each of the boxes without opening them. Record your observations. Come up with your best idea based on your evidence. PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

What is inside the box? Prompt Questions What materials do you think the item is made from? How much space does the item take up inside the box? How does the item move inside the box? What shape do you think it is? Can you draw what you think it looks like? PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

Activity 2 In your groups think about and write a list of all the different skills and approaches you used to work out what is inside the boxes. PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

What skills and approaches did you use? Prompt Questions How did you know it was made of this material? Did anyone work in silence? Did you investigate all the boxes in the same way? How did you decide on your group’s idea? Did anyone suggest an idea that you tested? Did you try and picture in your head or draw what was inside the box? PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

The way scientists work Scientists propose ideas and test them. Discussion is a vital part of science. Science is both social and creative. PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

“Science is a history of corrected mistakes.” Karl Popper (1902-94) “The important thing is not to stop questioning.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“Most scientists will concede that, although they seek truth, they don’t know or generate truth. They propose and test theories, knowing that future evidence may cause refinement, revision, or even rejection of today’s theories... However, we can reach the best possible conclusion based on the most complete and modern evidence available.” Dr Bruce Railsback, University of Georgia PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

Learning outcomes Skills used: discussion, developing an argument, observation, negotiation and teamwork. Scientists generate scientific theories based on evidence, but they do not find definitive answers. Scientific knowledge and ideas change over time and are open to further revision as our understanding of the world around us evolves. Science is a social and creative activity. PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881

Extensions Scientific modelling. Personal reflection on own perception of science. Social and ethical issues of scientific research. Revision of scientific ideas over time. Science in the news – level of certainty. PLATON: Promoting Innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching of Natural Science 2016-1-PT01-KA201- 022881
