Investigating the Scientific Method – A Better Black Box!
Students are introduced to the scientific method of problem-solving by using indirect observations with this kit. The unknown is a real black box with a steel ball inside. The problem is: “What is the configuration (shape or design) of the inside of the OB-SCERTAINERTM?” At first your students will not know, but as they experiment by tilting, rotating, and shaking the OB-SCERTAINERTM, they will begin to get an idea of what the configuration is inside. They will be able to build a conceptual model and develop a hypothesis. They can then test their hypothesis and refine it if desired. Students using this method are applying skills and procedures that scientists use.
Kit includes a Teacher’s Guide, lab activity sheets and 24 OB-SCERTAINER’sTM (two each of the 12 different configurations).
