Our scientific vision of the universe is exceedingly beautiful and elegant and it represents a crowing achievement of human civilization. You can share in the intellectual and aesthetic satisfaction to be gained from appreciating the unity between a boiling pot of water on a stove and the slow march of the continents, between the iridescent colors of a butterfly’s wing and the behavior of the fundamental constituents of matter.
Carrying out an investigation in science involves an interaction of many complex skills. These include focusing, planning information gathering, processing, interpreting, and reporting. Students may be investigating by carrying out a practical investigation of the “real world”, by carrying out an investigation of appropriate reference material, or by integrating these approaches.
Problem solving is an essential part of scientific investigation. Problem solving includes identifying and analyzing the problem, gathering relevant information, designing alternative solutions, testing the method or device, evaluating the method or device, modifying the method or device, and reaching a decision regarding the merit of the chosen method or device.
