2. Problem Solving with Big6 How do I research efficiently and effectively? How do I use information in an ethical way? Kristine Woods

3. Tinkering TED Talk • http://www.ted.com/talks/gever_tulley_s_tinkering_school_in_action?http:/www.ted.com/talks/gever_tulley_s_tinkering_school_in_action • "Success is in the doing.” • "Failure is analyzed." -GeverTulley

4. Discovery • Four Scenarios: Dog, Cake, Sneakers, Banana Split • In Pairs – 2 minutes each activity • Put the process of solving your problem in the order you think you would complete the solution. • Turn to the pair next to you and explain how you put the process in order.

5. Discuss: What was the process? • Task Definition • Information Seeking Strategies • Location and Access • Use of Information • Synthesis • Evaluation

6. Task Definition • What is my task? • Audience • Brainstorm • What information do I need? • List sub questions • What is my final product?

7. Information Seeking Strategies • Where could I find information? • Where should I go for information? • What keywords should I use? • Broad vs. narrow

8. Location and Access • Locate your sources • Use your keywords to access the information

9. Use of Information • How do I use the information? • Read • Collect • Extract the information • How will I record the information? • Collect sources, avoid plagiarism

11. How do you make cookies thin and crispy? Thin and Crunchy The more a cookie dough spreads during baking, the thinner and crunchier the finished product will be. What ingredients promote spreading over setting? For the fat, margarine and butter are better choices than shortening. Due to their chemical makeup, they start to melt at lower temperatures than shortening. They also contain a little water. Sugar too plays a leading role. A high sugar content increases spread because the sugar liquefies at baking temperatures. In fact, it is sometimes considered a liquid ingredient. Recipes that use granulated sugar are most likely to retain a crisp texture. Sugar is hygroscopic (hy-gruh-SKAH-pik). That is, it readily takes up water. Granulated sugar, however, is less hygroscopic than other common sweeteners, so granulated leaves more water in the mix. Sugar also raises the temperature at which proteins coagulate, which delays setting. Likewise, baking soda raises the setting temperature by neutralizing some of the recipe’s acidity. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078616441/student_view0/food_science_activities/cookie_chemistry.html

12. Citing Sources Give credit for sources you use Give credit in the paper Parenthetical reference (Johnson, 59) Give credit in the bibliography Citation Johnson, Mary. Salem witch trials. Chicago: Hawthorne Press, 2003.

14. Synthesis • Organize information • Outline and categorize • How do I give credit for sources? • Present information • What is my product? • "Measure and Mix ingredients"

15. Evaluation • Judge the product • Did I do my best? • Did I do my defined task? • Did my information answer by question? • Did I give credit for sources? • Is my work complete? • Do I need to add or change anything? • What could I do differently?
