 Block 1

 Hypothesis (prediction):

1. a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory
2. a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence
3. a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations

 

Objective: To engage and learn experientially through a hands-on  lab, to practice how to guess and record through observations.


Activity: Students will guess (hypothesis) and record the findings in an owl pellet.  We will investigate with our hands and pick apart actual owl pellets.  We will use a brief form for hypothesizing what's in our pellets and then a chart to record what we found.

Assess:  Student recordings and observation of the lab.
