Science is a system of knowledge and about the methods you use to find that knowledge.
...it begins with CURIOSITY and often ends with DISCOVERY

2. LETS LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE
1.) Make Observations
2.) Determine a problem
3.) Form a hypothesis
4.) Collect & Record Data
4.) Conduct Experiment
5.) Analyze Data/Conclusion

3. Before we get started...
SHOUT OUT WHATEVER OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU NOTICE...

4. Key Term #1: Observation
Information you gather using your five senses
Factual information that describes something
Key Term #1: Observation

5. OBSERVATIONS

**Is an assumption that cannot be directly observed with the senses**

9. BACK TO THE DEMO WERE THOSE OBSERVATION, INFERENCES or BOTH?
(*Try to use examples of what you said)

10. Malleable Intelligence = Practice
LETS PRACTICE!!
Malleable Intelligence = Practice

11. IN YOUR GROUPS... What are your inferences?
Hamburgers
200 People
Cotton Candy
What are your inferences?
(Write your answer in your guided notes, be ready to share)
Popcorn

Look at these two sets of animal tracks and on your guided notes...
List 3 Observations
Make an Inference

13. FRAME #2

14. FRAME #3

15. WHAT WERE THE TWO CATEGORIES THAT ALL OBSERVATIONS FALL UNDER?
Back to OBSERVATIONS
QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE

16. Key Term #3: Quantitative Observation
... ARE MEASURABLE OR COUNTABLE
Key Term #3: Quantitative Observation

17. EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE

18. Key Term #4: Qualitative Observation
Describable not measurable
Key Term #4: Qualitative Observation

19. EXAMPLES OF QUALITATIVE

20. Let’s Practice 1 2 3 4 5 6

21. What’s in the bag? (10mins)
Within your assigned table teams you will move to the lab benches where there are separate “Mystery Bags”
As a group, you will have 2 minutes to feel what is inside the bag and make 2 observations about what you feel. Then, you must infer what is inside the bag.
You will rotate every 2 mins until each group has been to all 5 stations

22. EXIT TICKET Time: 5 mins Trade & Grade (CB: First & Last Name)
Once Graded:
Put Score on Guided Notes
What are you going to emphasis in your M.I.L tonight?
