3D-Printable Mystery Boxes
“Mystery boxes are a great tool to practice scientific reasoning skills and introduce students to the power of scientific models. Students develop hypotheses about the internal structure of a mystery box and come up with ideas on how to test their hypotheses. They also learn about the difference between observation and inference. Below, we present…
