3. “Nature of Science”

4. “Nature of Science”
Each puzzle piece represents current scientific data, when I gave you the “x” piece, I was introducing a new discovery to the current data
How is this similar to doing science?

5. “Nature of Science”
You assumed the pieces fit together in some way (just like science and nature is a puzzle we have not yet solved)
Trial and Error: you had to try many different ways before you found a way that fit
New information may require the old theory to be modified or discarded OR
Our current information may be incomplete and therefore our theories are incorrect
Sometimes we get lucky and find the right answer
Collaboration may be helpful
Once we find the answer it seems to make perfect, elegant sense
You had to test your ideas using hands on manipulation- just like laboratory exercises

6. Let’s Chat!
What is science??
