Exploring Black Holes and Microscopic Mysteries: An Inquiry-Based Approach

Dive into the captivating world of cosmic phenomena and microscopic discoveries in this unit. We will engage in thought-provoking discussions centered around black holes, exploring the challenges of proving their existence. Utilizing the scientific method, we’ll conduct investigations into mystery cans (sliced mushrooms) to inspire curiosity and critical thinking. Prepare for a virtual field trip into the universe and the unseen world, supplemented by readings, videos, and collaborative seminars that encourage questioning and inquiry-based learning.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Unit 2 • Unit 1 DB - mystery can redux • This really wasn’t an exercise of determining can content per se • Exercise was to open up the mind to asking questions, determining methods for tests. . . • Scientific Method • Black Box investigations

  2. Mystery Can(sliced mushrooms)

  3. Unit 2 • Read Chapter 14,15, appendix B • Watch Video • Read story about microscope • Discussion Board (There are 2 sub boards) • Seminar on Black Holes • Project on Health Department (due by Tuesday, 11:59 pm ET) Things to do this week

  4. Virtual Field Trip Lets go on a black hole field trip • Spend 10 minutes at this site • Finding the Invisible (see how you can “look” at the universe) • The Voyage (pick one of the 2 destinations and explore) • Up Close and Personal (see how you would see with a warped space-time)

  5. Unit 2 Seminar • What is the biggest obstacle to proving that black holes really do exist? • What kinds of evidence are there that they do? • Given what you know about scientific inquiry, why is the lack of direct evidence for black holes a problem for scientists? • Why might black holes be important? • How is the search for black holes similar to the quest to view microscopic objects?

  6. Unit 2 SeminarScanning Tunneling Microscopy Still, this is indirect evidence. We cannot see things this small!!

  7. Unit 2 SeminarScanning Tunneling Microscopy
