Hands On Science!

This week, we began our work with observation and inferences by investigating an object without being able to either see or touch it. Using balls of Play Do the students were asked to make observations about their mystery item,

hidden within the ball, using only a toothpick. Based on their observations they were asked to make inferences about what might be inside. Strategies were shared to improve our inferential powers and we also discussed the limitations of certain tools and the challenges of particular objects of investigation.
