Assumptions and Mapping the Classroom

Assumption Activity When you get the worksheet, quietly observe your table partner Without talking, write down your assumptions about your partner for each question Observe your teacher and write down your assumption At the end, share your answers about your partner After sharing your answers, every student will share one assumption about the teacher

What is an assumption? a self-evident truth that requires no proof.  Compare axiom a statement that is used as the premise of a particular argument but may not be otherwise accepted a self-evident truth that requires no proof.

Why are assumptions dangerous in science? Let’s go back to the axiom a self-evident truth that requires no proof. Do we need proof in science? Of course we do! In order to have all these theories, laws, and dogmas in science, something had to happen so that we didn’t assume how different natural phenomena operated around us

So the field of science had to create a method of portraying observations….

So that’s why we have the scientific method (and lab safety)!!!
