Science starts with a question.
A question always starts with an observation that catches the eye.
|
This video is of a Brewer's Blackbird should result in some questions. What questions can you come up with?
-
Take up the challenge. Among your peers take turns making as many observations as possible (one at time) making sure to list each. Challenge others to be the last to make the last observation. Maybe before you start you want to "define" what qualifies as an observation.
-
Once all observations have been made, try to make as many questions as possible based on the list of observations. Again maybe, as a group, you want to define what makes a good question.
-
Consider any visual (e.g., photograph, diagram, video, graph) that is uploaded to this Science Collaborative Virtual Locker could be considered a wealth of possibilities for practice making observations and questions based on them.
