Can you use a piece of evidence to try and fool the class? You will make a short (2-3 slide) presentation to show the class on Monday. Slide #1: The title of your article and your name. Slide #2: A summary of your story along with one photograph as evidence to support your story. Slide #3: (optional) Other pictures or information to support your story. But…are you really trying to fool them? Each of you will come up to the front of the room and draw a paper from the beaker. If it has an “R” you will be doing a real story that students might think is fake. If it has an “F” you will do a fake story to try and convince the class it is real. your presentations to BEFORE Monday!

In your notes, after the Cottingley Fairies questions… Reflect on the role of evidence in the process of science
