Building Background Has anyone ever eaten ice cream quickly before? Did you experience an ice-cream headache?

Background Information The selection you are going to read is from a science magazine called Odyssey, and it was written by a girl in eighth grade. People get ice-cream headaches when something very cold touches the center of the palate, which is the roof of he mouth. The cold temperature may prompt nerves that control the blood flow to the head to enlarge, which in turn causes the head to hurt. This phenomenon, often called “brain freeze,” actually has nothing to do with the brain—just the blood vessels in the head. And it is not dangerous. Other cold foods and drinks can also cause these headaches. To prevent such headaches, it is recommended to eat the cold food more slowly, or even warm it up a little before you eat it.—from kidshealth.org

Inquiry Process Organize the information you found in your inquiry investigations. Make a final decision about whether your conjectures have been confirmed or whether they need to be revised. Now that you have plenty of information, you will need to organize it with your presentations in mind. Suggest interesting ways to present your information. The form of presentation you choose should be appropriate for the research your have done. For example, if you have researched a famous scientist, staging an imaginary interview with that person would be more informative than demonstrating one of his or her experiments.

Inquiry Process continued After you decide on a presentation, you will review what you have learned by revisiting any notes, photocopies, pictures, or other materials you have collected. To organize this information, you will write the main points you learned from each source. These points should be helpful for creating a particular type of presentation. Finally, you will compare what you have learned to your conjectures. Ask whether your conjectures are true or whether they need to be revised. If they do, revise your conjectures now. This ends the unit so begin to plan for your oral presentations.
