solving mysteries with scientific method
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Another calm day at science club...
- Slide: 2
- Mrs. Wesson rushes toward Lily from her garden, looking worried. She holds a strange worried glowing rock in her hands.
- “Lily! Look at this! I found it in my garden… and it’s glowing!”
- Slide: 3
- How strange… I’ve never seen anything like it!”
- Slide: 4
- Lily studies the rock curiously, determined.
- “This is a perfect mystery to solve using the scientific method!”
- Slide: 5
- Inside Lily’s home lab. The rock is on the table under a lamp. Lily takes notes in her science notebook.
- :he rock glows light
- “Observation: The rock glows even without any direct light.”
- Slide: 6
- Observation: The rock glows even without any direct light
- “Why is this rock glowing in the dark?”
- Slide: 7
- Lily browses books about minerals and bioluminescent organisms.
- Could it be a radioactive mineral… or something alive?
- Slide: 8
- Lily sets out her lab tools on the table.
- Time for the next step: forming a hypothesis.
- Slide: 9
- Hypothesis: The rock glows due to a chemical reaction triggered by heat
- Slide: 10
- The rock is placed under a heat lamp. Lily watches with a thermometer in hand.
- If the glow gets stronger, it could be a thermal reaction
- Slide: 11
- Nothing happens. The rock stays the same. Lily writes in her notebook again.
- Hypothesis: The rock glows due to a chemical reaction triggered by heat
- No reaction. Hypothesis not supported. But I’m not giving up
- Slide: 12
- Lily carefully cuts a small piece of the rock and examines it under the microscope.
- Wait a second… something is moving inside
- Slide: 13
- tiny organisms move inside the rock
- They’re alive! These are bioluminescent microorganisms
- Slide: 14
- Lily drops a bit of water on the rock. The glow intensifies
- They react to water! Moisture activates their glow
- Slide: 15
- Lily writes her conclusion in her notebook.
- No reaction. Hypothesis not supported. But I’m not giving up
- Conclusion: The rock is a micro-ecosystem. The light comes from bioluminescent organisms that glow when hydrated
- Slide: 16
- Lily smiles, holding the glowing rock proudly
- Mystery solved—thanks to the scientific method
- Slide: 17
- Lily shows the rock to Mrs. Wesson in her garden.
- I found the answer... It’s not just a rock—it’s a living ecosystem
- Slide: 18
- Mrs. Wesson looks amazed as the rock glows softly in her hands.
- That’s incredible! Thank you, Lily!
- Slide: 19
- Lily places the rock back in a shady, moist corner of the garden.
- This is the perfect spot for them to thrive
- Slide: 20
- Science always finds answers… if you ask the right questions
