  2. Objectives Content Objectives: Chapter 3 Explore & Explain Activities • N8A1 Construct appropriate charts, graphs, and tables to display data. (CCSD #1) • N8A1 Analyze appropriate charts, graphs, and tables. (CCSD #2) • N8A4 & 5 Accurately record and use information obtained while conducting investigations. (CCSD #95) • N8A6 Explain that scientific inquiry includes evaluating results of investigations, observations, theoretical and mathematical models, and explanations proposed by others. (CCSD #96) • N8A7 Students will know there are multiple methods for organizing & analyzing information (Power Standard) • N8B2 Present results and data to class. (CCSD #105)

  3. EXPLORE Investigation Threading the Needle • In Question: How do you define success in a scientific investigation? • Purpose: Use terms “limits” & “diversity” correctly and construct & analyze data tables • Procedure: Through Questions: Review How To #2 on pg 544 TQ#1: Read entire procedure & construct a team data table TQ#2: Perform procedure & record team data in lab book TQ#3: Analyze data according to Step #11 & record in lab book TQ#4: Record team data on class data table TQ#5: Review How To #3 pg 551 & construct a bar graph of class data

  4. EXPLORE Investigation Threading the Needle • Wrap Up: OQ#1:Did you need to change your data table during activity? OQ#2:Did your data table make it easy or difficult to analyze data in Step #11? OQ#3: Describe the limits that influenced your ability to perform task successfully. OQ#4: How much diversity was there in your team’s results? OQ#5: Describe how closely your team’s results match results of other team’s in class.

  5. EXPLORE Connections How Do You Spell Success • In Question: Define how your team determined if you were successful in the Threading the Needle Activity • Purpose: Develop a class definition of success when treading the needle • Procedure: Through Question: Class Discussion: 1) Describe how team determined which members had most success on Star Tracers; 2) How many definitions of success in Star Tracers; 3) Describe team definitions of success in Threading the Needle; & 4) Are teams with most success better than other teams in class? TQ#1: Develop class definition of success in Threading the Needle • Wrap Up: Out Question: OQ#1: Record class definition of success in Threading the Needle

  6. EXPLAIN Investigation If at First You Don’t Succeed • In Question: Why would you redo an experiment several times? • Purpose: Students will compare first set of data to new data and discuss why new data is more reliable • Procedure: Through Questions: TQ#1: Review How To pg 540, Construct T-chart for Social Skill, discuss how to move quickly & quietly to groups, then fill in t-chart TQ#2: Construct a team data table similar to or same as you used in Threading the Needle Perform same procedure for Threading the Needle using the class definition of success TQ#3: Record new team data on class data table

  7. EXPLAIN Investigation If at First You Don’t Succeed • Procedure: Cont. TQ#4: construct a new bar graph of new class data TQ#5: Compare old class graph to new class graph • Wrap Up: Out Question: OQ#1: Did your number of successes change? If so explain why. OQ#2: List any new limits you think were due to the class definition of success. OQ#3: Describe differences between old & new class graphs. OQ#4: Decide which graph has more reliable information about class success. Explain your choice. OQ#5: List specific Strategies that your team will use to move into your group more quickly & quietly.

  8. Teacher Wrap Up • Review graphing before or during • Social Skills Integration • Assessing Activities • Concerns / Problems with Activities
