Use these videos to help develop skills to master

the Inquiry Challenge!

We'll use this site after our Life Science Domain...stay tuned! Follow along here. = Create a BAR GRAPH of your data. = media type="custom" key="27059448" width="150" height="150"

= After viewing the Screencast, try this example. =

= = = Now, let's ANALYZE our DATA! = = What does this data tell you? How can it help you answer the original question? What have you learned to help you draw a conclusion? = = media type="custom" key="27059474" width="140" height="140" = = = = Now, go back to our data from the bar graph exercise and answer this question: =

//** Draw a conclusion about which texture works best to pollinate a flowering plant. Use your data (charts and tables) to explain your answer. **//
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

= Now it's time to SYNTHESIZE our DATA! = = How does what we know connect to what we learned? =



= Explain why the texture of a bee's body is important to a flowering plant. Use what you learned in your investigation about texture and what you know about how bees help plants. =


 * = What I learned in the investigation = || = What I know about how bees help plants = ||
 * Think about:
 * the textures of the sticks (how did they look and feel?)
 * which stick picked up the most?
 * which stick dropped off the most?

Remember that the texture of a bee's body can do both: pick up a lot and drop off a lot. Which stick did this? What was the texture of that stick? || Think about:
 * what do bees do for plants
 * why is this important

Remember:
 * important vocabulary from our work in class
 * important vocabulary from this inquiry (use the word bank) ||

= Use what you learned in your investigation and what you know about what birds eat to explain how the shape of a bird’s beak affects its survival. =
 * = What I learned in the investigation = || = What I know about BIRDS = ||
 * Think about:

The last part of the INQUIRY CHALLENGE always asks us toAPPLY WHAT WE'VE LEARNED.Remember: This is the true challenge.This is where you show your amazing SCIENCE INQUIRY SKILLS!
