A. Evidence Video- Before a problem can be solved, one needs information - or evidence. Evidence must be gathered, tested and retested and then interpreted. "Evidence is just facts at work in someone's mind. It is never perfect and it's subject to change. Still, a conclusion based on solid evidence is better than guessing."

"Evidence is what you find and what you make of it."

B. Patterns Video- Form follows purpose. Patterns develop and the ability to discern patterns, and to organize and reorganize the framework of vision and evidence is indispensible.

 

C. Investigation Video- Investigation is a systematic approach to the world of observable facts. Each child discovered the world by investigation - tasting, listening, etc. - until the world became generalizations and categories of objects and experiences.

 

D. Trial and Error Video- Trial and error is as basic as learning itself; and errors are essential to the process. It requires the problem solvers to be able to organize and direct a plan of attack.

 

E. Context Video- To see an object within its framework means to see it in context. It is a goal of all problem solving to train the powers of observation.

 

F. Adaptation Video- Solving problems by borrowing the solution from the problem is adaptation. Feedback is a systematic repetition of the adaptation process in situations where the problem and solution are in a continually changing relationship.

 

G. Modeling Video- A model is an abstract/virtual description of the real world; a simple representation of complex forms, processes and functions of phenomens or ideas. Models reduce risk, cost and complexity to manageable scales.

 

H. Prediction Video- It is the purpose of science to describe the world in an orderly scheme or language that will enable us to look ahead. Prediction is a search for laws on which to base a forecast.

 

I. Theory Video- The universal human need to tell stories, to explain what has happened and what structures the universe and the individual's experience, is the foundation of theory making.
