1. _________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ STUDENTS DO NOT RETAIN THE INFORMATION PRESENTED / TAUGHT IN CLASS IF STUDENTS ATTACH SPECIFIC MEANING OR ASSOCIATIONS WITH TERMS, THEN THEY WILL LEARN THE INFORMATION HAVE STUDENTS COPY A LIST OF 10 WORDS LABELED “A” AND “B”. THE STUDENTS HAVE TO WRITE THE “A” WORDS TWO TIMES WHILE FOR THE ‘B’ WORDS THEY FIRST WRITE A WORD THAT THEY ASSOCIATE WITH THE TERM AND THEN WRITE THE WORD ITSELF ONCE. _____ TOTAL STUDENTS RECALLED ______ TOTAL WORDS: ______ ‘A’ WORDS AND _____ ‘B’ WORDS STUDENTS DO LEARN BETTER IF THEY MAKE ASSOCIATIONS AND OR CONNECTIONS TO NEW INFORMATION PRESENTED TO THEM

4. What role do hypotheses play in scientific inquiry? What is the difference between and independent variable and a dependent variable? How is the meaning of theory in science different from the everyday use of the term? How are hypotheses and theories related? Give examples of different ways in which observations are used in scientific inquiry.
