4. What two important ideas in science education were illustrated through the Black Box activity?
Idea 1:
The black box activity demonstrated two concepts of science, the first was the Nature of Science. This refers to the main principles and concepts that define science. It discusses the characteristics found in scientific knowledge, along with a variety of concepts such as bias, uncertainty, limitations, and reliability.
Idea 2:
Another concept that was illustrated through the black box activity was Inference vs. Observation. This activity required the participants to use Scientific Inquiry and the Scientific Method to formulate a process of examination on the black box. They were required to make observations and revisit steps to gather data, before forming inferences based on prior knowledge and the gathered information.

They need to be able to determine what information is relevant to the topic, and build a deeper understanding of the concept through listening and discussion.
6. Why do you think it is important to include Alaska Native ways of knowing about nature in your teaching?
When creating a lesson, it is important to understand that each student is an individual with a variety of experiences, and a culture or background that is unique to that individual. Therefore, it is important to incorporate different concepts or culturally relevant activities and ideas into the lesson. This will allow the students to form connections and relationships with their own experiences and prior knowledge. Additionally, students are able to experience the views and ideas of different cultures, comparing them to their own.
