The Three Story Intellect • Input Questions • First level of house: basic questions that can be addressed with observation • Similar to taking data for the results of lab; observe and describe what you see • Ex: How many colonies are there? What types of colonies are they? • Process Questions • Second level of house: Questions that ask you to analyze, then draw conclusions, explain why, infer the reasons • Similar to writing conclusions; explain why something happened, and if you change something, how you think that will affect your results • Ex: Why did the hand sanitizer not show a halo? One explanation may be that bacteria have acquired resistance towards antiseptic agents in hand sanitizer. Another explanation may be that there were errors that biased the results. • Output Questions • Third level of house: Questions that ask you to think beyond what you see • Similar to “PA”; ask you to apply what you know, to make predictions about other experiments, imagine other outcomes if a variable is changed • Ex: What can we change in this experiment to increase our understanding of antiseptic effects on bacteria?
