Before Watching
-
Have students locate Buenos Aires and Santiago on a map of South
America and trace Stardust's route between them over the
Andes range. How high is the range in that area? What
considerations would there be in placing an airport so close to
the mountains?
-
As students watch, have them chart information about each piece
of evidence and possible conclusions.
After Watching
-
In the program, investigators originally had one idea of what
might have occurred and then modified that idea as new evidence
was found. Ask students for an example of a time when their
initial conclusions about something changed based on their being
open to new facts or more logical reasoning. Have them consider
situations such as when they met a new person who seemed
unfriendly, but turned out just to be shy. Or an experiment they
may have done recently in which their conclusions changed based
on their results.
