02 / SCIENCE PRACTICES

What makes a good investigator?

You'll spend less time memorizing conclusions and more time doing what scientists actually do.

Observe carefully

Separate what you notice from what you assume happened.

Analyze patterns

Compare measurements and decide what the data can support.

Test explanations

Consider competing hypotheses and change your mind when evidence changes.

Defend your claim

Support your conclusion with evidence and explain its limitations.

A NOTE BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your work is your evidence.

The introductory game saves your investigation on this device, not in your teacher's account. Download your final report when you're finished and submit it as directed in class.
