INVESTIGATION ONE

This exploration delves into the significance of black box systems in scientific investigation, emphasizing the need for collaboration. It distinguishes between conceptual and physical models, highlighting how they serve as frameworks for understanding complex systems. The process of refining models through inquiry is presented, illustrating the dynamic nature of scientific theories and hypotheses. By working together, students and educators can deepen their comprehension of these concepts, leading to a more profound understanding of how systems are constructed and operate.

  1. INVESTIGATION ONE BLACK BOXES

  2. CONSENSUS • Everyone agrees.

  3. COLLABORATION • Working together. • Example: 2 students working on a lab

  4. Cooperate • Working together but someone is in charge • Example: Teacher and student working together

  5. BLACK BOX • Can not be directly observed and easily understood.

  6. MODEL • A representation that explains how something is built or how it works.

  7. SYSTEM • Parts that work together or share the same space in a meaningful way.

  8. CONCEPTUAL MODEL • Ideas that suggest what a system is or how it works. • Ideas that exist in a person’s mind or on paper.

  9. PHYSICAL MODEL • May be a scaled model, either larger or smaller than the actual system it represents. • It is a model you can touch.

  10. Models • Scientific models change over time. • When scientists discover new evidence they may decide to change their model. • Scientists make models to help them understand how systems work.

  11. HYPOTHESIS • A theory or an educated guess.

  12. CONTENT/INQUIRY • Our models were refined by comparing the unknown (original black box) to the known (physical (constructed) models.) • You have a conceptual model when mathematics, words, or diagrams are used to explain how something works or how it is built. The model is not real. It is an idea or a concept.

  13. C/I cont. • A physical model is a real model that works and can be tested and compared.
