Grab it before it goes by3Lab 2: Problem solvingor why Chymistry outlasted Magick**in most placesHow? Why?4Goals for today•Use scientific approaches to solve problems•Observe yourself in action: you are already a practitioner of scientific approaches•Observe yourself in action: want to get better at anything? Practice & analyze•Observe others in action: another grand way to improve5Futures•Seen CSI? House? Numbers? Myth busters?•Wonder about global warming? Best ways to create jobs?•Have views about anything at all?•Want to be the one that solves problems?Science isn’t facts. Facts fuel science. What can you do with the information?6Definitions•“Science is the human endeavor to achieve a better understanding of the world by observation, comparison, experiment, analysis, synthesis, and conceptualization”•“Science is a body of facts (‘knowledge’) and the concepts that permit explaining these facts.”•Both from Ernst Mayr, What makes biology unique p. 140 (Kindle version)7You already do this•You stumble out of your room at 4 a.m. and turn on a lamp•Nothing happens•Now what? Curse the darkness?•Notes to self: What elements are you employing? What’s your process?**Your notes today will be your material for a discussion toward the end of class concerning METACOGNITION8Gonna Science you up•“The light’s not turning on!” = observation•Possible explanations = hypothesis/models•“If (condition or action), it should ___” = prediction•Execution of prediction = test•“Gotta catch ‘em all”: goal is to whittle away possibilities until only one is left standing•If only looking at one, challenge it to fail9Read, Observe, Consider: Become curiousCreate/Embrace functional explanation (model)Predict: IF (model true) THEN after X, Y will resultExecute test(s): Experiment!RepeatDo Do results results make make sense?sense?think about causality (hypothesis)Gain confidencePredictionMetReject/modify modelPredictionfails10Ranking ‘knowing’•Empirical--you saw it, touched it, etc.•Reasoned argument from documented/identified assumptions & previous knowledge•Repeatedly established by others that you ‘trust’•Never: assertions by authority regardless of the nature (or volume) of that authority. No, really--never!11Stuff you can figure out:Thinking with your nose**Another place to take notes about how you solved the problem12•Paper towel to test--with your nose•What do you notice? (observe)•What does the fact of smelling tell you…•about what your body does? (model)•about involvement of molecules? (model)•What does smelling different things tell you? (model)13C10H14O•The formula for both smells. •How can you make sense of this information and the observations of your nose?•How can you model this information?14•This is the structural drawing for both smells. What can you conclude?•See ‘Duo_Comparator’ in Control Ctr => Not for credit => Duo_Comparator => lab01_Tao => Spearmint, carawayToday’s Groups•Genevive , Rachel , Stacie, Mason •Grace , Emily , Megan •Michael , Onur , Kimberly •David , Jessenia , Don, Sofia•Jose , Samantha , Jessie •Joseph , Kathryn , Jessi P •Ryan , Angel , Robert 1516PatternMasterA quest for the rules that order a systema.k.a. “The most scientific thing you’ll do in this course”**Another place to take notes about how you solved the problem17Rule Quest*NEIGHBOR definitions are clockwise, anti/counterclockwiseGiven 1-step anti-clockwise*, it could be...Perimeter color to inner left shape colorTop shape to overall shapeMake me a hypothesis, test it, answer!18Take a lookControl Center => Non-Assessor software => DON’T LOG IN =>Select ‘Easy #1’- This is what it says when you are NOT logged in (this is for exploring it in class)- You have to log in in order to get CREDIT for this assignment when you do it at home 1920Make observations•Make several selections from the menu•Get a ‘feel’ for what’s standard. This is practice for solving medium & hard puzzles: Figuring out the ‘background’ so you can detect the ‘foreground’--the hints that something is noteworthy•Return to your prep notes for end-of-class assignment:•observe/record your process, approaches, successes2122Using PatternMaster:23Using PatternMaster:24How to use PatternMaster:25Polya•Lab Manual, Appendix F•George Polya enumerated a general strategy based on teaching & contemplation for many years•It’s not rules, it’s ideas3131Ordering the worldOrdering the worldWhat’s with these liquids?Be watching!
