QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE OBJECT |
Object D |
– Light cream color – Around two to three pounds – Red marking on object – Smooth – Wooden feel – Dark brown on the top side – Small stand on back of object – Strange triangular shape – Bone texture and feeling – Doesn’t have a strong smell – Solid object – A couple feet in length
|
– Type of large animal bone – Possible fossil or old bones – Wooden tool used in the past – Scientific fossil used to discover extinct animals or things in the past – Possible weapon in the past – Furniture used now or in the past – Decorative item – Traditional item, used for religious customs past and present – Dinosaur bone – Extinct animal bone
|
– What type of bone is it? – Does it benefit society? – Does it help scientists in any way? – Why does it have that stand on the back? – Why is it important? – What religious groups utilize this object? – Does it benefit museums by finding other unique items like itself? – What animal kingdom does it follow in? – What does the red spot mean? |
Object A
|
– Dark cream color – brown spots all over object – Around three pounds – Not very smooth – Line on top of object, that leads down – Doesn’t have a strong smell – Hard bone texture – Shape differs on the sides – Circular shape in the front – Very solid – 32cm length
|
– Skull of an animal (large teeth) – Skull of an extinct animal – Scientific fossil which supports our knowledge – Fossil used to assist scientists to figure what animals existed in the past – Dinosaur bone – Animal that has unique abilities, which creates scientists to discover what the animal does – Religious ritual item, which creates people to discover past customs – Historical fossil used in museums |
– What animal skull is it? – How does it benefit scientist? – Why is it important? – Can the object help geographers with their research? – Is the animal portrayed in the image extinct? – Does the object – How old is the skull? – Does the animal still exist in parts of the world? – Do any religious groups use this object for ritual purposes? |
Object F
|
– Silver colored handle – Small translucent tube at the end of the handle – Very light object – Steel smell – around 15 to 20 cm in length – Small object – Black button/knob at the top – Smooth feeling – Different pieces which connect to one object (tube, handle, base, button) – Numbers at top
|
– A tube which injects and expels a liquid – A scientific tool used frequently for many tasks and labs – A tool used to assist scientists, rather than touching the object – An old tool, which is now replaced by more beneficial tools – Used to feed small animals or bugs, which helps scientists discover theories – Can inject vapors or other chemicals – A syringe – Unused material for labs (school, university, science centers) |
– How does it benefit scientists? – Why is it important? – Why use this tool, rather than others? – Can using this item provide more research? – Why is this one not used very often? – Are there better alternatives for this object? – Was this object used more frequently in the past? – Why is there numbers at the top of the object? – Is this object very useful?
|
Object C |
– White – Very small objects – Crystal like form – Sugar/salt appearance – No smell – Glass feel – Internal powder (inside) – Crunchy sound
|
– Used for slippery surfaces – Rare substance – Alternative for narcotic purposes – Medicinally used – Chemical substance for labs – Enhances flavor for food – Ice crystal with flavor for liquids – Ice crystal with color, that gives chemical reaction to other substances |
– What does it do? – Is it useful for science? – Why is it important? – is it a dangerous chemical? – Does it have a chemical reaction? – Does it have flavor? – is it used for other purposes besides science? – Does it react with water? – Does it benefit scientist? |
