4 ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the difference between an observation and an inference? OBJECTIVES: -Use observations and inferences to create a model of the inside of the “Mystery Box” -Define observation and inference -Learn how to create a concept map Sept 4th

5 Mystery Box OBSERVATIONSINFERENCE -RECORD WHAT YOU OBSERVE IN THIS BOX - USE YOUR OBSERVATIONS TO CREATE A DRAWING OF WHAT YOU THINK THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE

6 MIND MAPS Played with a ball What are the characteristics of each of these sports? Has two goals Players kick ball

7 MIND MAP PRACTICE

8 Investigations Descriptive Comparative Experimental No hypothesis or prediction Use senses to make observations Evaluating similarities and differences between ideas or things No hypothesis or prediction Make a prediction or write a hypothesis Includes dependent and independent variable Scientific Investigation Mind Map

9 ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the difference between an observation and an inference? OBJECTIVES: -Use observations and inferences to create a model of the inside of the “Mystery Box” -Define observation and inference -Learn how to create a concept map

10 DO NOW Date: 9/4 EQ: What is the difference between a descriptive investigation and a comparative investigation? What is the difference between an observation and an inference?

11 ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the difference between a descriptive investigation and a comparative investigation? OBJECTIVES: -Use observations and inferences to conduct and descriptive investigation of Turk’s Cap. -Conduct a comparative investigation of Turk’s Cap and the Siberian Iris.
