Nature of Science (Pink Monster)

14 January was my second Science lesson. My teacher conducted a hands-on activity in the class and asked us a question, "What do you observe inside the Pink Monster?"

Well, the Pink Monster was a pink piece of rectangular paper with four strings as limbs. My group observed and experimented with the Pink Monster, pulling each of the limbs and observing which limbs moved too. After a few minutes, my group concluded that there was a knot in the middle of the Pink Monster as all the other limbs moved as well when one was pulled.

After the activity, the teacher taught us that the Nature of Science was distinguishing between observation and inference. It is also about distinguishing between scientific theories and laws and it also needs human imagination and creativity.
