*Science is….

finding and using patterns in nature to predict the future and understand the past

*So our Essential Question is…

How do we find and use patterns in nature to predict the future and understand the past?

*Inquiry Cube

5. What are questions we can investigate about this cube?

Do not touch, turn, lift, or move the cube in any way.

*Inquiry Cube6. Wild Guess:

7. Data:

8. Patterns:A. B. C.

Confidence:LowMediumHigh

*Inquiry Cube

9. What is the benefit to hearing other research groups’ ideas?*What is another test we could perform to determine with

even more confidence (less error) what is on the bottom?

*Inquiry Cube

10. Use your observations (data) to make a prediction of the number in the upper-right corner of the bottom.

*Inquiry Cube

* With your limited funding you are able to purchase a small amount of technology and other equipment in order to test your prediction.

*Inquiry Cube

11. Final Hypothesis Confidence:LowMediumHigh

*Inquiry Cube

12. Describe how your confidence changed from your Wild Guess and final hypothesis and why?

13. How is this activity like real science?
