Presentation transcript:

When you are done drawing yourself as a scientist, write how your opinion (view) has changed about scientist

Be a Scientist You are a Paleontologist who has just discovered an extraordinary piece of history. On this site you find fossil records with footprints of some animals that lived and are now preserved in stone. Use your ability to observe and infer to solve the mystery of what happened here.

Panel 1 Write at least 5 observations about what you see in this picture:

Panel 2 Write 3 new observations about panel 2:

Panel 3 Now what do you observe?

What happened?

Inference: 1. What kind of animals made the footprints? 2. Were they friends, family or enemies? 3. Draw a picture of what these creatures might have looked like. 4. Tell a short story to describe what happened in these pictures.

Group Discussion How was this activity like Science in the real world? What bits of information were valuable to you in formulating an inference?

Turn to the person sitting next to you. Make three observations about your partner. What do your observations tell you about that person?
