“The Nature of Science” – What Is Scientific Inquiry?
Introduction: The purpose of this activity is to get the students to think about the nature of science,
and also, to show the importance of being an active participant in the learning process. This activity
supports the abilities necessary to understand and engage in scientific inquiry.
Materials:
Print the following pattern on cardstock paper and cut out the individual pieces. Make enough for
each student to work individually.
Procedure: Hand out all the pieces except the small square marked X. Each piece represents
current scientific data. Once the students are given the pieces, provide no further instruction. Most
students will begin to arrange the pieces on their own. In a short amount of time, the students will
put the pieces together to make a square as seen below in Figure 2.

Once all the students have arranged the pieces to produce figure 2, hand out the small square
marked X to each student and explain that a new scientific discovery has been made. Students
must somehow incorporate this new information to their puzzle.
Encourage students to work individually at first, and then, to work in groups if the frustration level
rises. There may be some degree of collaboration (looking at other student’s progress). If one
student gets the correct arrangement, have that student cover up the answer so that other students
will persevere.
Hint: You may help students get started by having them make the “Superman” logo shape first.
Follow-Up Questions: Once all or most of the students have arranged the pieces correctly, have
them brainstorm and share how this activity is similar to “doing” science.
Similarities may include the following ideas:
1. Assume that the pieces fit together – nature is a puzzle that we have not yet solved
2. Trial and error is an essential ingredient to science
3. New information may require the old theory to be modified or discarded
4. Current information may be incomplete and therefore, theories are incorrect
5. Sometimes, a person gets lucky and finds the right answer
6. Collaboration may be helpful
7. Once the answer is arrived at, it makes perfect sense
Share with students that scientific design (the scientific method) requires the same types of thinking
as the puzzle. Questions, such as, Why, Why Not, and How are important when determining
whether the outcomes of an experiment make sense or not. This type of activity also provides the
understanding that try, try again is an important part of science.

Data:
Identify your dependent and independent variables for each trial.
 Independent variables are the variables that are changed in a given model or equation.
One can also think of them as the ‘input’ which is then modified by the model to change
the ‘output’ or dependent variable.
 Dependent variables are considered to be functions of the independent variables,
changing only as the independent variable changes.

Experiments for the Classroom – Getting Started
Oil Spill! Clean It Up
When oil tankers accidentally spill their cargo of oil into the ocean they cause a huge environmental
danger. Oil is extremely hard to remove from the water and the beaches, and the whole environment
is damaged. In this experiment, you can see how hard it is to remove oil from sand.
You will need:
 Large plastic cup
 Sand
 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
(This experiment can be messy, so you might want to do it outdoors.)
Step 1 – Observe - Fill a plastic cup with sand and oil and mix well. Observe the problem that you
have.
Step 2 – Hypothesize - Based on your observations, make a guess at what tools you could use to
get the oil off the sand.
Step 3 – Test the Hypothesis - Conduct an experiment. Use a spoon, a straw, paper towel, an old
toothbrush, a sponge – anything that you can think of to get the oil off the sand and help save the
environment!
Friction
Which is easier to spin – a smoother ball or a less smooth ball? For this experiment, you will need:
 A bowl of water
 Smooth rubber ball
 Tennis ball
Step 1 – Observe the two types of balls.
Step 2 – Hypothesize - Based on your observations, make a guess as to which ball will spin the
longest and why.
Step 3 – Test the Hypothesis - Try spinning the rubber ball in the water. Next spin the tennis ball in
the water. Which one is easier to spin? The smoother ball is easier to spin because the smooth
surface causes less friction with the water.

The Experiment
A shopping mall wanted to determine whether the more expensive “Tough Stuff” floor wax was
better than the cheaper “Steel Seal” floor wax at protecting its floor tiles against scratches. One
gallon or each type of floor wax was applied to each of the five test sections of the main hall of
the mall. The test sections were all the same size and were covered with the same kind of tiles.
Five (5) other test sections received no wax. After 3 weeks, the number of scratches in each of
the test sections were counted.

Raw or Cooked?
Find out which spins the longest, a raw egg or a cooked egg. For this experiment, you will need:
 1 cooked egg
 1 raw egg
 1 plate
Step 1 – Observe the two eggs.
Step 2 – Hypothesize - Based on your observations, make a guess as to which egg will spin the
longest and why.
Step 3 – Test the Hypothesis - Spin each egg in turn on a plate. The egg that continues to spin for
a longer time is the cooked one. Now spin the eggs again, and then quickly stop both of them. Then
let go of both eggs. You will see that the cooked egg stays still but the raw one starts spinning again.
Why does this happen? The contents of the egg have more inertia when they are raw, because they
are in the form of a liquid. This inertia slows down the raw egg and that is why it stopped spinning
before the cooked egg. In step 2, the liquid in the raw egg was still moving when you stopped both
eggs, so that movement made the raw egg begin to spin again.
Which Paper Towel Absorbs the Most Water
Have students divide into small groups of three to four students. Provide each student with different
rolls of paper towels (different brands and quality) and cups of water. Have them predict which towel
will absorb the most water and why. Have them conduct the experiment and develop a short oneminute commercial that delivers their findings.
Hypothesis: Which paper towel will absorb the most water? Why?
Observations
Paper Towel A
Paper Towel B
Paper Towel C
What results can be drawn from the experiment?

How Long Does It Take?
Observation/Problem: Does the color of a Tootsie Pop change the number of licks that it takes to
get to the chocolate center?
Materials:


One bag of Tootsie Pops with at least 3 of each color. Make sure that none have been
broken.
Paper and pencil
Procedure:
1. Identify the independent variable in this question. (the different colors/flavors)
2. Identify the dependent variable in this question. (same person doing the experiment for each
color and ensure that the same amount of pressure and the same location on each pop is
used)
3. Identify at least 3 constants (controls) for this question. (same person doing the experiment,
lollipops that are the same size, same pressure used for each lick, same direction used for
each lick such as from bottom to top, etc.)
4. State a hypothesis for this question. This is a prediction about how the independent variable
will affect the dependent variable. The orange lollipop will take less time to get to the middle
because it is a lighter and clearer color.
5. Write a procedure to test this hypothesis.
 What materials will you need to conduct this investigation?
 How many times will you replicate the experiment?
6. Design a data table to collect and display your results. What will you need to record?
7. Conduct the experiment. How many times will you replicate the experiment to prove or
disprove your hypothesis? Why?
8. Determine the results and whether or not the hypothesis was supported by the data.
How Large Is an Atom?
Creating life-size models is an excellent strategy for teaching science concepts. To assist students in
comprehending the size of atoms, have them complete the following activity.
Materials:
 1 strip of paper 28 centimeters (11 inches long)
 1 pair of scissors
Have students take the strip of paper and cut it into equal halves. Have them cut one of the
remaining pieces of the paper into equal halves. Have students continue to cut the strip into equal
halves as many times as they can. Make sure that all cuts are parallel to the first one. When the
width gets longer than the length, they can cut off the excess, but that does not count as a cut.
How far did they get? Is there anything smaller than an atom? Yes, the size of an atom nucleus
would take about 41 cuts. We cannot see anything smaller than an atom with our eyes, even with
the electron microscope. Yet, scientists use advanced technology to explore the world of electrons
and quarks that are 9,000 times smaller than a nucleus.
