• ENSI/SENSI Lesson: Mystery Boxes
  Students manipulate sealed "mystery" boxes and attempt to determine the inner structure of the boxes which contain a moving ball and a fixed barrier or two. The nature and sources of uncertainty inherent in the process of problem-solving are experienced. The uncertainty of the conclusions is reduced by student collaboration. PRINCIPAL CONCEPT Scientific knowledge is fundamentally uncertain.

• ENSI/SENSI Lesson: Nat.of Sci. FALSE ASSUMPTIONS
  Little deceptive problem stories are presented to the class, and students are challenged to solve each problem by asking only yes/no questions. The key is for students to recognize what the False Assumption is that makes the solution tricky, and that many common problems are difficult to solve because we tend to assume a particular paradigm. Things are not always what they seem! Science is a way to work around or through those false assumptions. PRINCIPAL CONCEPT Scientific knowledge is contingent and subject to modification. ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS Science contains an element of uncertainty. ASSESSABLE OBJECTIVES Students will.... 1. related insights from this activity to their personal lives. 2. be unable to solve thought problems because of false a

• NOVA | Making Stuff: Cleaner
  Can innovations in materials science help clean up our world? In "Making Stuff: Cleaner," David Pogue explores the rapidly developing science and business of clean energy and examines alternative ways to generate it, store it, and distribute it. Is hydrogen the way to go? What about lithium batteries? Does this solve an energy problem or create a new dependency? Pogue investigates the latest developments in bio-based fuels and in harnessing solar energy for our cars, homes, and industry in a program full of the stuff of a sustainable future.

• Scaling the Solar System lesson
  Understanding science lessons. Modified version of a typical solar system scale model activity (often called Solar System on a String) in order to emphasize one of the ways that scientists use models. See this example of such an activity.
