The Scientific Process
by Cynthia Bujanda
This lesson is about students understanding the scientific process through a Community Maze game. Students experience the importance of observation, collaboration, discovery, feedback to achieve a common goal by playing a game. The instructor relates this learning to the scientific process. Then they will be prompted to create scientific questions that are testable and specific . This lesson can be used as a starter point to initiate the practice of asking scientific questions, and can be a starting point to an independent research project.
