Define the Problem

15

Previously, we have learned a

6-Step Problem Solving Method.

1. Identify the Problem
2. Determine the Size and Scope of the Problem
3. Generate Solutions
4. Think of Possible Consequences
5. Choose the Best Solution
6. Analyze the Outcome

Reorder

Similarities and

Differences

18

Let’s review how we use Venn Diagrams to

identify similarities and differences.

Baked

How would you organize these terms onto a Venn Diagram? Similarities and Differences between Ice Cream and Cake

Differences: Cake

Similarities of both

Differences: Ice Cream

Consequences
and Predictions

Unintended consequences are the unforeseen and often unexpected outcomes of an action.

Going to sleep early even when your friends plan to stay up late

Determine whether certain scenarios are considered groupthink or not.

Relevance and

Correlation

35

We learned that a correlation between
variables is a connection or link between
them.

Today, we will review how to determine if
variables are correlated based on how they
are represented on graphs.

36

The type of
graph that
will be used
today is a
scatter
plot.

A scatter
plot is a
graph where
points are
plotted to
show the
relationship
(correlation)
between two
variables.

A ​

Select answer

correlation is shown when both variables increase together.


For example, as the temperature increases, so do ice cream sales.

Dropdown

A ​

Select answer

correlation is shown when one variable increases while the other decreases.

For example, as the temperature increases, burger sales decrease.

Dropdown

There is ​

Select answer

correlation is shown when there is no pattern in the data points.

For example, as the temperature increases, there is no apparent effect on coffee sales.

Reliable Sources

44

Some media is typically (not always) more credible than others.
We should always use our criteria and critical thinking skills to determine credibility and reliability.

Typically Not

Very

Reliable/Credible

Typically Very

Reliable/Credible

​We will be focused on whether or not sources are credible and reliable, and the degree (level) of credibility.

Multiple Choice

Determine the degree of credibility/reliability of the scientist’s claim.

• Credible/Reliable

• Not a very Credible Source/Unreliable

46

Analogies and

Metaphors

47

Analogies are useful for learning
because they require us to analyze
one concept, and then transfer that analysis to another concept.

Although we can use relationships/connections of things and concepts to create analogies, their differences still exist.


Because these differences stop the analogy from making sense, we refer to them as ​
