How are we going to use the newspaper to build a tower?
Will this work?
Why isn't this model working?
What can increase our confidence in a scientific claim or theory?
Evidence
True or False: Part of being a scientist is making observations and asking questions.
True
In the Egg Drop Challenge, how did you develop and use a model.
We developed and used a model by building out of materials an egg protection device.
True or False- Scientist don't need to ask questions or be curious.
False
Finish the sentence. Planning and carrying out__________________.
Investigations
The science of studying space is called _________.

True or False: In science observations is considered #1
False- Evidence is #1
In the Egg Drop Challenge, what is an example of how you used mathematical and computational thinking? Or how you could have used Math.
-Measuring the height in which we dropped the egg protection devices.
-Weighing our egg protection device.
-Counting/keeping track of which teams were successful and which were not.
Scientist develop and use ______.
models
Finish the SEP. Analyzing and Interpreting ________.
Bonus- Define Data
data- information
Which of these are part of the natural world?
Caterpillars, ghosts, mind reading, dirt, unicorns, horses
caterpillars, dirt, horses
True or False: Mind reading is part of the natural world and therefore can be studied through science.
False
Scientists make observations, ask questions, and conduct experiments. After they conduct experiments, they share their discoveries with other scientists. Why do they do this?
They help other learn and scientist inspire others to search for answers they don't know.
Engage in an argument from _________ and using mathematical _________.
evidence; thinking
Do the 8 SEP's go in order?

True or False: As new evidence is collected our scientific understanding of something can change.
True
How did we use the SEP of contructing explanations in the Egg Drop Challenge?
What is the definition of science?
Science is the study of the natural world through observation and experimentation.
What does constructing explanations mean?
Coming up with reasons as to why something is the way it is.
