In the past two days we worked with Mystery Tubes and kicked off the Unit Project- The Greatest Scientific Discovery.
The Mystery Tubes got at the basis behind science inquiry. Students are asked to determine the interior construction of the covered mystery tube. They worked in small groups, posed hypothesis, tested their hypothesis, and often needed to rework their initial thoughts
The Greatest Scientific Discovery information can be found here on our shared Google Site.
We started the class by reading
Snowflake Bentley and making connection of what is good science and his contributions to the world. Students will have the task to choose a great invention or discovery and persuade us why it is the "Greatest Scientific Discovery" of all time.
