Lesson 2 - Modeling The Movement of Odor and Air Preview CT-STEM

Exploration 1 - Follow up

You will now prepare a scientific explanation to answer the question you proposed to focus on at the beginning of the activity.

A scientific explanation has:

A Claim: A one-sentence claim that answers the question you investigated.
Evidence: Data used to support the claim.
Reasoning: Relevant scientific principles, along with logical links to why these principles apply to this data and why the data counts as evidence.

Make an outline of these elements using the questions below.

These questions were answered in the previous steps. They are provided here for your reference.

Question 1.1

Write the question you will focus on in your investigation below.

Question 3.1

In the space below, record any observations made during model runs.

Question 3.2

In the table below, include any data or observations you made during model runs of the sandbox model.

Please answer the questions below.

Question 4.1

What scientific principles did you (re) discover about temperature?

Question 4.2

What scientific principles did you (re) discover about particle motion?

Question 4.3

What data would you like to use as evidence from the model?

Question 4.4

What data would you like to use as evidence from the in class physical experiment?

Question 4.5

Write the claim you want to assert below.
