Science Processes
![Page 19: STELLAR The Nature of Science. What do you observe? What do you think is going on here? What do you see that makes you say that? Visual Thinking Strategies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f0c5503460f94c1f1d7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Science Processes
•observe to gather information.•construct a model based on observations (by drawing).•evaluate how the model works compared to the object.•revise the model, based on new information or feedback.

•How does this activity model the process of science?
•Conceptual model – describes things that can’t be fully observed
The Black Boxes

The Black Box of Science
•Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty — some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain.
- Richard Feynman
![Page 22: STELLAR The Nature of Science. What do you observe? What do you think is going on here? What do you see that makes you say that? Visual Thinking Strategies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f0c5503460f94c1f1d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

It is the Nature of Science

•The word science comes from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge.”
• It’s a body of knowledge – all the discoveries contributed by all peoples throughout the centuries.

•For Scientists science is more than just bricks - it also refers to a way of pursuing knowledge, not only the knowledge itself.

•Science is a method of finding things out. This method is based on the principle that observation is the judge of whether something is so or is not.

• It involves not only making observations, but also testing ideas, considering evidence, communicating, and holding on to those ideas that work.

•Science is about building the house
•Students usually get just the bricks

• It is through the process of discovery – how to build that house, how to ask and answer the questions, that our students learn to think and reason.•Science is in our nature: Curiosity•“Play is the work of children”

• Language is central to shaping our constructions of the world around us. •Words and language are used as a way of trying to make meaning from our experiences, trying out a framework for understanding.

• Provides a contextualized environment for learning language structure and functions•Uses language for a meaningful purpose ~ learners engage in authentic communication• Promotes collaboration ~ thinking takes place in communication• Provides meaningful experiences ~ motivation is key in learning

“You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts.”
