INVESTIGATION ONE BLACK BOXES
CONSENSUS • Everyone agrees.
COLLABORATION • Working together. • Example: 2 students working on a lab
Cooperate • Working together but someone is in charge • Example: Teacher and student working together
BLACK BOX • Can not be directly observed and easily understood.
MODEL • A representation that explains how something is built or how it works.
SYSTEM • Parts that work together or share the same space in a meaningful way.
CONCEPTUAL MODEL • Ideas that suggest what a system is or how it works. • Ideas that exist in a person’s mind or on paper.
PHYSICAL MODEL • May be a scaled model, either larger or smaller than the actual system it represents. • It is a model you can touch.
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.
HYPOTHESIS • A theory or an educated guess.
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.
C/I cont. • A physical model is a real model that works and can be tested and compared.
