Black Box Mystery
Seeing is believing, right? Well, just because you can't see something doesn't
mean it isn't there. There's a lot you can learn about something without seeing
it. Try the activity below and "see" for yourself.
Challenge
Hidden inside your box is an object. You can't see it, but your job is to find
out as much as you can about it to support an inference of what it might be.
What kinds of questions might you ask to find out more about the object?
What kinds of tests can you design to help you answer these questions?
After you complete your tests, answer the questions on this page.

What inferences can you make about the object? List them on a separate sheet
and include the evidence that supports them. What situations in your daily life might call for inference? List the
situations and the evidence you use to support those situations.
