Comparing science to a jigsaw puzzle

In our class activity we used a jigsaw puzzle to represent the process of science. Describe how science can be compared to a jigsaw puzzle.

You have to link piecies of a puzzle to fgure out what it is. Scientists have to do the same

Jigsaw puzzles are like science because scientist have to put pieces together to find the answer

Jigsaw puzzles are like science, because you look at different parts of an object to learn how to piece them together or relate them to other objects. This helps scientists find answers to a hypothesis.

Puzzles are like science because you have to work at the problem piece by piece and sooner or later it will all work out and it will become clear of what the solution is.

They are like science because you have to work everything piece by piece to get the answers.

Putting a puzzle together is an analogy to the scientific method because one must follow a method of discovering information about the picture to determine the end result. When the puzzle is missing some pieces, like in theoretical science, one must make an inference based on the pieces given.

A jigsaw puzzle that is missing pieces is a great example of science because science is never ending. It is filled with infinate dicoveries because even when think you have discovered everything, an other discovery appears. I think this is because we live in an ever changing world. So things are constantly adapting to their changing evironment. I think it is because of these factors science is infinate. Because if it wasn't ifinate it would be like a history class where everything has been "pre" accomplished.

In a jigsaw puzzle you have to link all the pieces you have to see what it is and you might not find all pieces. In science, you put evidence together and figure out what it is and you might not find all the evidence. (Block 3)

Many scientists never have the answers in one place in front of them. They spend years of research just to get their pieces, and much more time making sense of the data they have found. Luckily the pieces were given to us, but like a scientist would have to everything had to come together and make sense.

Placing together the pieces of the puzzle with a team emulates the way scientists work together to find answers to an overall problem. Also, the missing pieces of the puzzle could refer to the fact that there is always work to be done and all of the answers aren't readily available. Just basic problem solving really.

JIgsaws are like science because scientist don't always have all the pieces to the answer.

Jigsaw puzzles pose a difficutly as does science.

You dont have all the pieces to the puzzle like when your doing an expierment you dont know everything about the experiment. So thats how they are the same.

Just like science you have to link pieces to a puzzle.

joey f. brooke a. kendra p. i think science relates to the puzzle because you dont always have all the peices to what your trying to figure out so you have to improvise.

We think that it pertains to science, because not every scientist has all of the pieces.

Jigsaw puzzles are like science because you have to put the pieces together to see what the big picture is. Also if you don't have all the pieces like scientist you have to work with what you have and with your team.

A jigsaw is similar to science because for both you never know the entire picture until you put all the same pieces together...

In a jigsaw puzzle, you must put pieces together to solve problems.

In a jigsaw puzzle, you have to find all the pieces before you can see the whole picture. In science, you have to have all the chemicals/ingredients before you have the solution.

Science is neato just like jigsaw puzzles.
