“Puzzling” the Scientific Method
Directions:
Answer the following questions to analyze what your group members completed in the amount of
time given.
1. Write down the problem that you tried to solve. The problem should always be in the form
of a question.
How are we supposed to solve the puzzle if we don’t have all the pieces?
2. Think back at what your hypothesis was and make a statement for the group. Sometimes
your hypothesis is easier to state when using an “if…then” format.
If everyone has different pieces of the same puzzle, then everyone has to cooperate
Procedure: Define your procedures for this activity, these should include at least 4 steps.
1. determine where the other pieces of our puzzle were
2. determine who had the puzzle our extra pieces went to
3. give our extra pieces to other groups who needed them
4. collect all pieces of our puzzle
5. solve puzzle
Questions:
3. What types of information should your group have known before starting to put the puzzle together?
(Name 5 things)
locations of our puzzle’s pieces, destinations for our extra pieces, what the puzzle came together to show,
who had what puzzles, who was going to work on which puzzle/ each section of the puzzle
4. Talk to (3) other groups in your classroom. Name (3) skills that these groups used to solve their puzzle.
The other groups sorted the pieces out by color and size to determine where they go and what puzzle they belong
to. They also cooperated with the other tables to find all the pieces they needed, while also providing the other table
with the pieces they needed. Some groups even used texture to determine what pieces belong to which puzzle, since
color sorting didn’t always do the trick.
