  1. Checks Lab Instructions: Do only what the current screen directs you to do; do NOT work ahead!

  2. You are Historians…. • Your job is to try to find out what happened in the past. • You will make your determination based on artifacts from the past. • You must be able to defend your conclusions using evidence from the artifacts that you have studied.

  3. You are TOK Students…. • Your job is to observe how knowledge is made. • Be alert to both practical methods AND abstract use of Ways of Knowing. • Be alert for strengths as well as weaknesses in the processes your group employes for making knowledge.

  4. 1st Artifact Collection • When you are told to do so, draw FOUR checks from the envelope. Set the envelope aside. DO NOT look at any of the other checks!

  5. 1st Hypothesis • Working with your group, study the data you have acquired. Formulate a GROUP hypothesis that accounts for all the data in your data set. • Write your hypothesis in the space provided on your worksheet.

  6. 2nd Artifact Collection • When you are told to do so, draw FOUR checks from the envelope. Set the envelope aside. DO NOT look at any of the other checks!

  8. 3rd Artifact Collection • When you are told to do so, draw TWO checks from the envelope. Set the envelope aside. DO NOT look at any of the other checks!

  9. NO MORE CHECKS! • Alas, historians never get all the information that there was, and, in fact, they seldom, if ever, even know what resources there may have once been that are now lost. You will not, therefore, have any further access to additional checks! Those that are left in your envelope do not exist!

  10. 3rd Hypothesis • Working with your group, study the data you have acquired. Formulate a GROUP hypothesis that accounts for all the data in your data set. • Write your hypothesis in the space provided on your worksheet.

  11. Consultation w/other Historians • When you are told to do so, you will have SIX minutes to consult with historians from other groups to discuss your findings.

  12. FINAL Hypothesis • Working with your group, study the data you have acquired. Formulate a GROUP hypothesis that accounts for all the data in your data set. • Write your hypothesis in the space provided on your worksheet.
