Changing Scientific Knowledge – Scientific Inquiry – Grade Nine
Changing Scientific Knowledge – Scientific Inquiry – Grade Nine
Description:
In this lesson, students will research how scientific
knowledge and explanations can change over time.
Students will compare explanations of forces and motions of objects on Earth from Aristotle to Galileo to Newton. This lesson provides students opportunities to extend their research into how new ideas are limited by the context in which they are conceived by examining other historical examples of how scientific inquiry guided by knowledge, observations, ideas, and questions have lead to changes in scientific knowledge and explanations (e.g., caloric theory to kinetic molecular theory). Students will relate how inductive and deductive thinking have contributed to
changes in scientific inquiry and knowledge. The students will present their findings by using a visual display.
