Think Like a Scientist: Nature of Science 5E Inquiry Unit
Students will complete a hands-on mystery box exploration to experience the process of doing science and help build a deeper understanding of what it means to think like a scientist through discussion, readings, and videos. Concepts will be applied to design their own experiment. To synthesize, students will compare and contrast the scientific method against their experience of doing science throughout the unit.
5E Unit Overview:
Engage: What is in the Box?
Explore: Mystery Box Exploration
Explain: Think Like a Scientist - Indirect vs Direct Observation + Science Starts with Questions
Elaborate: Design an Experiment
