  4. Continued • Students will understand that the scientific approach is not utilized only in the science laboratory but used to solve problems in any real life situation. • Students will understand that there are patterns all around them. • Students will understand that being correct is not a requirement and that there is value in being wrong.

  5. Developing the Three Story Intellect • Enhance the cognitive levels of classroom interaction • Make sense out of the information gathered • Apply and evaluate actions in a novel situation

  6. Wait Time • What is it? • Control wait time

  7. Design Process • Identify the Need or Problem • Research the Need or Problem • Develop Possible Solution(s) • Select the Best Possible Solution • Construct a Prototype • Test and Evaluate the Solution(s) • Communicate the Solutions • Redesign
