The Data Dilemma©
Quantity:
“I wonder if,” and “What about,” will be part of your students’ discourse as they think like scientists with this nature of science activity. Students use the geometric shapes to create a single model. As more data becomes available, students revise their thinking, and their models. Students will:
- Arrange tangram pieces to represent an initial conceptual model or explanation
- Receive new information that expands or challenges their initial model
- Experiment with multiple solutions to include the new data
- Apply this iterative process to examples of classic scientific advances and theories
