Mission 1
Quest 6: Scientific thinking
Getting Your Brain Focused
You will get out a piece of paper and title it FOCUS QUESTIONS. You will keep this paper in your folder and add to it each time we do a new Focus question.
Focus#1 - Subjective VS. Objective Observations. If you are in class, your teacher will show you two types of energy and you will make observations about each. If you are absent then you will define both types of observations and then make two of each about the decorations outside Mrs. Driskill's doorway.
Getting Familiar with Hypothesis, Law and Theory
You will participate and docs.google.com/document/d/1z_CGq1EiReeg8Uf0j9YstdWVt8pxfed0ctnwOE4G5D8/edit?usp=sharingcomplete a paper called Puzzle Fun and you will file it in your Physical Science folder. If you are absent, then you will need to come in and do this activity during Liberator time.
Focus#2 - Paraffin Paradox. If you are in class, then you will be making observations of a piece of wax. If you are absent, then you will list out the steps of the scientific method (use Chapter 1 of the textbook).
Notes over law, theory and hypothesis
You will label a lined piece of paper title U1 Notes:

Scientific Method
- Guess - may not make sense
- Hypothesis - an educated guess, it is based on a hunch or an observation
- Theory - when a hypothesis has been tested over and over, and all observations and data lead to one conclusion
- Law - without a doubt, something is true; usually mathematical in nature
