These pages are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format in order to retain their intended layout for reliable downloading and printing. Only a "thumbnail" reduced size image of the first page is showing (if more than one page is in that file). For enlarging and copying, (and seeing other pages in that file), you will need to download the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe (unless it's already installed in your system).
Then just click on the blue file name above that page. You may see the "Acrobat Exchange" (Reader application) loading, then the pages will display.

Have the envelopes (with "fossils"), "Resource Manuals" and worksheets ready near each team. 2. Announce that you will be taking them on a fossil hunting expedition, and they will be working in teams of (2, 3, or 4).
They should then get into their assigned groups, and get their assigned materials. Tell them not to open the envelopes until told to do so. 3.

PWHS: Thermodynamics: Think Linke A Scientist. An Induction Fable Copyright (c) 1996 by Kenny Felder The following is a story which illustrates which I think the scientific method is really all about. As with any fable, I'm going to tell the story first, and give the moral of the story afterward. Once upon a time, there was a caveman named Fred. (I refuse to name him "Oog" or something, just on principle.) Fred was a very bright guy, but he had absolutely no knowledge of the laws of nature. Has the science part started yet? Fred kept walking.
Theory 1: When I let go of a rock, it falls down. Being a bright guy (remember?) So, Fred kept going, dropping rocks in his wake with childish glee. Theory 2: When I let go of anything, it falls down. Note that Fred did not have two theories at this point, he only had one: because theory 1, although still true, was no longer necessary! Fred was excitedly testing his theory on one of his own teeth when he happened to see a red balloon tied to a tree. Fred had two choices. PWHS: Thermodynamics: Think Linke A Scientist.
